    You know ‘the oppressed of the world’ would not be so oppressed if the progressive left of the US had a long free reign over policy and if other countries stopped putting utter shitcunts into power. Looking at you China and Russia.

        Mmmm. No. The Dems have had to slowly drift rightwards to ensure they get some votes from those influenced by the rightwing media ecosystem.

          No, party leadership drifts rightwards and counts on their fans making up excuses for them.

                I’m not happy with it but claiming the only way to react is not to vote is a classic disinformation tactic.

                OP is a Rightwing / Russian shitbag.

                  I’m not happy with it but

                  I doubt that.

                  claiming the only way to react is not to vote is a classic disinformation tactic.

                  I did not claim that.

                  OP is a Rightwing / Russian shitbag.

                  Yes, centrists say that about everyone to their left.

                    Oh are you ‘left’ now?!? Because it seems to me that you are doing everything you can to sabotage and demoralise the Dems and help the GOP.

        No the actual progressive left.

        I’m beginning to realise that you’re a troll and am going to stop feeding you.

            He’s the only viable candidate in the field. He has a lifetime of experience and is overall a reasonable person.

              I believe we have reached the end of what can be said based on facts. If you think that genocide joe, despite his fervent zionism, despite his enthusiastic support for the ongoing ethnic cleansing in palestine, even finding ways around congress to support it, that he still is a reasonable candidate who would help the left in the US get to a position of power where they can enact meaningful change, even though you agree he isn’t a progressive leftist that would do anything a leftist person would do, then I dont know what else I have to say.

              Have a nice slide into fascism while voting for harm reduction that never seems to come.

                  Vote third party or dont vote unless the dems get their shit together. Thats the only thing that gets them to do anything. Failing that nothing will change, you can wring your hands and lament the current state of affairs, but the only thing that makes any material difference is in how you vote.

                  The real solution of course is communist revolution, so get organizing with others in order to mitigate the effects of the current slide into fascism, but if you keep voting “blue no matter who” you have effectively given up on representative democracy.

                    Oh you are a silly sausage aren’t you?

                    Either genuinely deluded or genuinely disingenuous.

                    If there wasn’t the massive existential threat of Christo-fascist authoritarian rule in the US then I might say ok, sure, go ahead and vote for a third party.
