    What ‘left’? This country doesn’t have a left, it’s just ‘hard right’ and ‘a slightly-less-right’. Fuck 'em both.

        I’ll believe that when I stop seeing settler-leftists attacking decolonial movements.

      I’m so tired of this trope. It could not be more obvious that they’re specifically referring to “the left” in an American rather than global context. Do we really need to harp on this every single fucking time?

        Yeah, “the American context” is literally the only way your gaggle of asses you call Democrats could even spuriously be viewed as ‘left’. Ergo, this country has no left. It’s just a bunch of gladhanding corporate rimjobbers talking out the side of their collective neck any time a news camera is focused on them, and I for one am not going to muddy the waters by giving them an appellation that would convey my respect.

          So instead you’ll step back and let a radical far right win and govern the country. How “leftist” of you.

            Tell you what; if the DNC runs someone who’s actually going to shut down the concentration camps on the border at the very least, maybe then we’ll talk. Til then, you’re just cosigning injustices because you’re afraid you’ll experience what you subject others to.

            Why would I? Y’all don’t offer anything but a boogeyman to fear, and assurances to your rich donors that “nothing fundamentally will change”. Your guy’s exact words. I’d sooner write in every member of Dipset that I can remember than pencilwhip your imperialists. Supreme Court’s been rogue, that’s nothing new. Our ghettos are redlined and left to rot, that’s nothing new. Carceral slavery and detention camps are still the law of the land, that’s nothing new. Why would I support that?

              I mean, all other things aside, because the GOP attempted a coup and Trump is still their front runner. I prefer a party that doesn’t try to create a dictator.

              And at least the Dems want to protect LGBTQ and abortion rights.

      Careful, you’re this close to having someone calling you out for “both sides-ing” and subsequently calling you a fascist.
