Show up to the fucking primaries and help progressives put fucking progressives in Dem seats. Otherwise these neoliberal ghouls will keep warming the fucking seats, though that's assuming the current fascist regime is too busy tripping over its own distended asshole to successfully implement the one-party state it so desperately desires.
Bernie got 25% of the vote in the 2020 primaries. We fucking need people out here.
Bernie was a compromise for leftists that felt voting mattered and didn't want to partake in violence. The leftists that actually give a fuck don't align themselves with the Dems and instead run third party.
Sorry I don't really get excited for Bernie "Bomb the Browns and Close The Borders" Sanders

Hmm weird you were simping for trump in another thread
If you only vote for candidates that excite you, you forfeit any and all electoral influence.
"electoral influence" to choose what billionaires will continue to fund a 1 trillion dollar military and the brutal repression of the citizenry? wow. thats certainly too bad.
Yes, exactly. One major party generally keeps their brutal oppression overseas, the other increases overseas oppression and also turns the trillion dollar military against the citizenry. One of those two options is objectively worse, and we have the electoral influence to obstruct the worse option.
They’re not objectively worse to those of us outside of America.
If anything having your military directed inwards is a blessing for the world as it saves us from you for a period.
It doesn't though, the military is still directed outward too, generally moreso. Yes, they're objectively worse all around.
No, Trump has threatened everyone and bombed some boats but unlike Obama, Bush, Clinton, etc he hasn’t been involved in a large scale war yet.
The sheer stupidity to think Trump has used the military outwards more than any the invasions in the Mid East, South America, or Asia as all previous US presidents have is mind boggling.
You are a nation of war mongers and invaders, enjoy your karma as it comes home.
Ah yes, the Dems who definitely did not deport more people then the republicans and have been singing the song of "build the wall" since the 2000s? The "Secure Fence Act"? The dems who have always funded the police and increased their militarization. Those dems, who don't "turn the military against the citizenry?"
Really? Obama didn't increase our engagement in Afghanistan? Didn't bomb weddings? Biden didn't commit a Genocide? Obama didn't intervene in Libya? I don't know what Dems you're talking about, but the ones I know commit crimes, overseas and domestic.
And? Name one Republican administration with less foreign military involvement and domestic overreach than their Democratic contemporaries. I'll wait.
