    I’m pretty sure libs would still blame the communists if the Donkey and the Elephant parties united and halted the scams called elections indefinitely.

    Both the libs and the chuds live under circumstances that most people the USA constantly oppresses can only dream about, btw.

      It’s that time of the two year election cycle again.

      Yeah, time for you to wake up from your hibernation and VOTE before hibernating again for 2 years.

      [X] Communism/Socialism

      lol they’ve been saying this all year and you only notice this now because you just woke up

      [X] Stories about how both parties are the same.

      As usual, you can hibernate peacefully when it’s the blue party doing genocide. Very nice of you for being a “shill” for genocide.

                  I’m genuinely asking what you define as leftist. I am not Amerikan. I don’t know what you would as it doesn’t seem to align with the global norm for what others would call leftist.

                  But I suppose everyone who doesn’t prostrate at your feet and revere your moral and intellectual superiority is a bot or a shill or otherwise less than.

      Of course in reality people talk about politics all the time and people shit on the democrats all the time. This is a you-problem.

      Lol, you deserve to be ruled by fascists.

      There were six different candidates on my 2024 Presidential ballot. I voted for Gloria La Riva.

      The only reason “only” a candidate from the Republicrat Wall St Fellator party can win is because dumb fucks believe only one of them can win. That’s it. There is no other reason. Stop being a dumb fuck, stop voting to support genocide, and stop treating people who support a genocide as if they’re normal and doing nothing wrong while treating people who won’t cosign on a genocide as if they’re the reason your preferred Neoliberal ghoul lost the last popularity contest.

      One side of a dichotomy

      If the dichotomy is “do you find supporting genocide acceptable”, I find that separating the people who do from the people who don’t actually begins to solve a great deal of problems.

      even roughly divided by giving people labels.

      You people consistently misappropriate language in order to say something that makes no sense. Now “correctly describing the political ideology and actions of a political party” is some arbitrary division with random pointless labes.

      by placing all people on one side of a dichotomy.

      Good thing “all people” aren’t encompassed by “democrats and republicans”. But I got some news for you: When you are talking about “republicans or democrats” then you ARE talking about a dichotomy. Or not really, because they aren’t really opposed to each other or in any way dissimilar, but there’s two of them, which is what you were thinking of.

          There’s no alternative party,

          There’s several alternative parties actually

          no momentum for one

          “If its not served up to me on a silver platter, then it is useless!”
          I wonder why it is that way.

          MLs arguing in favor of voting for Trump over Kamala

          Prove it. Point me to one person who is an actual principled marxist-leninist who is arguing that people should vote for Trump.

          Now similar voices are speaking, reminding everyone that both parties are the same in the worst possible moments to point that out.

          1. That you dont notice at any other point in time says more about you than anyone else.
          2. The democrats themselves have no such qualms, gleefully attacking leftists at any possible point in time.

          They funded MAGA to boost the Standard Dems’ likability. Schiff did this to Katie Porter in CA as well. They specifically do this so progressives can’t win

          1. Copying here;
          1. People are vocal about not voting for democrats all the time, you just do not notice when you brain hasn’t been primed for the bi-yearly vooooote
          2. It’s election season, so it is not at all surprising that more people are talking about politics
          3. Do you really think that any government would waste resources creating a tiny bot farm for some niche webforum run by communists? Get your head out of your ass.
          4. Do you hold the same reservations when you see someone trying to get you to vote democrat? It’s not like they don’t also use bot farms

          - https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/americans-are-using-bot-networks-manipulate-public-opinion-study-finds-rcna178333

          The report found that pro-Democratic activists using the hashtag #BlueCrew played a key role in spreading the discredited idea that the shooting of Trump in Butler was fake or staged.

          NCRI identified 951 accounts that engaged in “coordinated inauthentic activity” associated with a pro-Harris campaign called #BlueCrew. Those accounts posted nearly 2 million times from July 10 to Oct. 10, “exhibiting behavior indicative of organized efforts to amplify specific narratives,” the report says, most notably the narrative that Trump was not shot.

          Democratic PR firm runs bot farm for Israel

          Of course anybody who agrees with you is obviously a human. Nobody could disagree with you, they would have to be subhuman to do so.

          On top of that the war with Iran would have happened under Kamala as well

          And finally none of what you are saying is in any way insightful. It is so tired and clichéed that I usually just link to the last time I wasted my time talking through those trite “arguments”

              Lmao this is the most asinine irrational bullshit I’ve read so far. You demand proof for third party votes mattering, yet blame third party voters for the democrats losing (even though there was no state where they made up enough to make a difference), you want proof of a third party winning the presidential election (the republican party would be one such example) despite that not being what I argued - Instead I argued your defeatism is the reason no such party can come to prominence, which you conveniently failed to ignore - you reduce the fact that Democrats dont adhere to “now is not the time” to “they were mean” instead of engaging with it as the refutation of your line of argument that it is, you manage to completely ignore the reasoning behind Trump being on par with Democrats and you finally make an ahistoric allusion to a fantasy version of how Hitler came to power. If I had a bingo-board for Liberal half-wits then you would have given me the prize already.
              I am very happy it took you this long to activate enough of your long-dormant neurons to be able to hit the right buttons on the keyboard, because now there is no longer an audience so there is no need to adress you in order to speak to other readers, and since you’ve shown yourself to completely irrational there is also nothing to be gained from discussion personally.

              So this is likely to be my last response to you in this thread unless you manage to make a surprising 180 and turn into a normal person capable of reason.

                You’re totally right, I cannot believe I didn’t see this before. We need to keepthe fascists in power because reasons, and hope the revolution starts randomly at some point without further intervention. Any other decision is genocide, even though genocide only accelerated right now but its the right genocide because it’s trump and not kamala. Next time we need to pick trump over mamdani because mamdani is not a true Scotsman communist. Is that how it goes?

              the system is rigged

              you got trump elected a second time

              such as the time you guys elected trump a second time

              You contradict yourself. The system is rigged, but the outcome is our fault?

              Tough shit that you don’t like dems, right now, there’s no other choice

              But also:

              the system is rigged

              So that means they read your ballot card, and murder you if you didn’t vote dems?

              Listen I don’t know how else to get the point across, nobody remembers anyone going up against Hitler. They just remember Hitler and the people who put and kept him up there.

              Hindenburg went up against hitler in the election. Hindenburg got elected, hitler did not. Then hindenburg appointed hitler chancellor. So if you want to compare harris to hindenburg, uhh…

              Trump’s odds of getting away with all the shit he’s doing

              You want trump gone because he blarts out the genocidal empire’s crimes instead of covering them up.

              I want usa gone because it exports annoying ads.

                When I say the system is rigged, I mean you’re going to be stuck voting between two parties because you don’t have ranked choice voting , and you’re going to be stuck with unfavorable choices very often if not enough of you vote due to the electoral college. Tough shit, you still have to go out there and take part in the system unless y’all decide to dismantle it. Otherwise these stupid ass games y’all are playing end up choosing the worst possible choice and taking us all into the worst possibl e outcomes and I’m frankly sick of this shit already. I genuinely got pissed off at this community when trump won the second time because I remember your removed asses arguing that kamala was the wrong choice of the two, and there’s only two choices every time.

                Its not that he’s so blatant about the actions of the empire, it’s that his rhetoric has changed everyone’s lives for the worse, I’ve lost friends and family to his bullshit, I’ve endured his decisions financially without even having a say about it, you fuckers DO have a say about it and wish to waste it away for short term morality points without looking at the bigger picture somehow. People really out here trying to argue trump is not that bad? Trying to question what’s so bad about him? Are you guys fucking for real here?

                I’m telling this to everyone here: Listen i don’t give a fuck if you need to kiss newsom’s cum-covered face to do it, just get trump and his one percenters the fuck out of office before other countries start feeling the need to do it themselves. Fix your fuckups.

          Thanks for making it so plain you have the memory of a goldfish and nothing interesting to say.

          We were saying it during the primary. Leftists been saying it every day for longer than I’ve been old enough to vote, and I voted the first time in a year that started with “1”. The fact that you don’t know that means you’re deliberately not paying attention except during the general when your billionaire-owned media programmers have programmed you to notice it and be offended by it.

          The rest of the time you ignore it just like you ignore the massive dichotomy between Democrats’ rhetoric and their voting records. Just like you ignore the massive similarities between policy passed by Democrats and that passed by Republicans. You’ve been so programmed to focus on the aesthetics and the narratives that you routinely vote for the people making your life worse. Doesn’t that bother you at all?

            As a Honduran who’s watched you idiots elect trump two times, actively making the world a worse place for EVERYONE, I quickly lose interest when people try to argue that Obama and the Clintons and the rest of the dems are or were just as bad. They carried out undeniable evils in the world, but the depth of the corruption and evil that has been unleashed upon the entire world purely out of the foolishness, borderline evilness, of Americans getting Trump into power TWICE… It’s impossible to ignore.

            Trump has helped shatter this better image that Democrats had before all this, and it would be ridiculous not to acknowledge their role and positions, and I’m fine with doing so… At ANY OTHER POINT IN TIME BEFORE THE IMPORTANT ELECTIONS. Im not arguing in defense of the Democrats, I’m arguing in defense of strategic timing, and will continue to do so until you guys leave the rest of us no choice but to view you all as part of the enemy. Fix your shit as a country or you might force someone out there to do it for you the hard way.

                Listen i don’t give a fuck if you need to kiss newsom’s cum-covered face to do it, just get trump and his one percenters the fuck out of office before other countries start feeling the need to do it themselves. Fix your fuckups.

      Is it just me or I see it calling out the DNC cult who think they’re leftists.

      Aren’t you the ones always waiting for the next election that will magically “fix” everything and return to status quo of being unaffected by your foreign policies while it ravages people abroad?

      There are actual good people going out protesting, recording, blockading, deterring ICE. There’s people destroying surveillance tech, stopping data centers being built, shaming big oil/military industry execs at their own meetups. There’s ethical people openly calling out rapists, zionists, homophopic, racists, corrupt politicians, pigs and judges.

      ^This is actual progress. They’re most likely going to vote while also making the ruling class afraid.

      Then there are people whose only thought process goes:

      • “one more election, bro”
      • “just one more election, bro”
      • “it’ll fix everything, bro”
      • “just vote blue, bro”
      • “it’ll work this time, bro”
      • “come on, bro, this is all or nothing, bro”
      • “I don’t care about war crimes, just let me have my cheap gas, bro”
      • “Come on, bro. If you don’t vote blue, the other side is much worse bro”
      • “they have no serious platform except populist propaganda, but they’ll only kill children in middle east and that’s fine by me, bro”
      • “please, bro. just one more election, bro”

      Weak

      Hot take of the day: Democrats are actually just evangelicals with the serial numbers filed off. The world is a MAGA hellscape, but we just have to wait until the blue team is in power again when everything will magically be fixed. Any attempt to do anything other than voting makes you MAGA. Anything less than BLUE TEAM PRESIDENT is completely useless. Also voting for any third party or doing anything other than voting is accelerationism.

      Addendum: It’s also full of fun contradictions - just like the bible! Voting for genociders is the best way to stop the genocide! Voting for democrats is somehow good for immigrants, even though Biden deported more than Trump 1 and Harris ran on having a harsher immigration policy, neat! You have to vote for democrats in order to protect Roe v. Wade - the thing that got overturned under Biden, which Biden did nothing about. Fun!

            But the US/west continuously try to destroy their economies, kill their leaders, foment social unrest, commit sabotage.

            Clearly the concept is a failure. ;)

                Laos doesn’t get much attention because they haven’t had much chance to develop after the US razed the whole country to the ground and left a bunch of mines and unexploded ordinance that are still being removed to this day. But they do have a communist party in charge, and China has been actively helping them recently.

              By almost every metric they were massively successful seeing some of the largest leaps in life expectancy in history side by side with the largest strides in poverty alleviation, infant mortality and more.

              If you exclude just China alone from global poverty statistics global poverty by headcount is worse today than in 1981.

              Not that you really care you just want to pontificate from your soapbox about “the silly Marxists” who dare to actually wish for and push for better.

                  Americans care about freedom. You should probably learn this

                  So we’ve moved from most people to Americans. Interesting. Also given America has the largest prison population in the world in raw numbers not even per capita I’m not sure that’s particularly true, especially when American prisons are by design essentially slavery.

                  Americans care about freedom

                  Yes the freedom to be free to be terrible and racist to others, or be free to appear to get the chance to be extraordinarily wealthy not anything related to actual freedom

                  Your argument is that the revolutions were unsuccessful. In what way is the PRC worse than the republic of china?

          Other people have talked about socialist revolutions, which are indeed great examples. But we can’t forget the global bourgeois revolutions that lead to capitalism throughout the world. Without those we would still be stuck in feudalism. While capitalism has many flaws it’s much better than feudalism in many ways.

        Yeah you can spot these types pretty easily in this thread.

        What are the tells?

        any time you see someone respond to the truth: “there is a two party system in every election and one of them will win whether you like it or not”

        With: “both sides do genocide”

        So you deny that the Democrats are contributing towards the genocide? Or that you’re just being honest and that you don’t care?

        It’s obvious they might not actually tie their own shoelaces.

        It’s obvious you lot have no object permanence.

            The point is that it’s a non-sequiter. “Buh both sides.” Isn’t a sane response to “one of them is going to win anyway.”

            So what is your thought on the genocide? Seems like you can justify voting for it since “one of them is going to win anyway”?
