Why is every call for the left & liberals to unite against the right always aimed at the left? A finger wagging at the uncooperative left? Because the left is expected “unite” by asking for nothing and expecting nothing. The left must “unite” by getting in line behind the liberals and being quiet

yeah but is that because it smells bad to them or is it because it’s such a stronger version of their own that they’re like “the guy who made this smell must have been fucking huge!”

“what if it all goes and i don’t get the chance to bring children into this place so that they can grow up and one day get to feel forced into signing their name to the slaughter of tens of thousands of starving civilians? that’s what every parent wants for their child. we can’t lose this!”

if you have to vote for genocide in order to save what you have maybe what you have isn’t worth saving

that’s probably just a result of my echo chamber though, i’ve been indoctrinated into that clearly silly view

Chris_MJ @chrismj199.bsky.social · 1h

well it began with thinking genocide is bad 🤷‍♂️

The Democratic Party is a US empire party.

The very best Democrats just want a slightly more polite and humanitarian empire.

All of them support war and militarism.

All of them support the subjugation of the global south by tyrannical force.

Everyone needs to get clear on this.

Wanna know why the US blue maga and red maga government won't leave Venezuela alone? 🙂

That's basically the gist right here 👇🏾

biggest proven global oil reserves are in venezuela, they need assets to strip for their debt problems, steal it and sell the oil to europe via american oil corps, install an evil puppet as like in argentina to plunder and cause chaos in the country as they strip it for assets for us corps

that’s a whole other argument about a whole other area of democrat savagery that quite literally doesn’t matter, since the fact is, we don’t even know if what you just said is true, since we didn’t see a democrat win. so i’m not going to go into that with you, i’ve done it with plenty others

Chris_MJ @chrismj199.bsky.social · 11h

so we’ve finally arrived at the actual truth of the matter, behind all of the platitudes. yeah, i can assure you i have zero surprise. shitlib.

when certain trans people chose not to vote for kamala harris over the genocide in gaza, they knew what they were risking. yes, it’s obvious that republicans are worse for trans people than democrats, but they did this weird thing where they gave a shit about people other than themselves

i’m having trouble figuring out if you don’t know how remarkably selfish the things you’re saying sound or if you just think that that’s okay?

Chris_MJ @chrismj199.bsky.social · 11h

you have things better now so you think this is a good point at which to draw the line of pragmatism. yeah, that’s what i’ve been saying

Chris_MJ @chrismj199.bsky.social · 11h

so you feel you’re being advocated for by them and therefore are pleased with the results? yeah, that’s the difference

Chris_MJ @chrismj199.bsky.social · 11h

you haven’t answered the question

Chris_MJ @chrismj199.bsky.social · 11h

it’s why i addressed it elsewhere: “and what if those fears of yours were “divisive even among democrats”? would you sacrifice your wellbeing and accept the need to allow ICE to round people up? would you let someone draw that line of pragmatism with you on the other side of it and not complain?”

Chris_MJ @chrismj199.bsky.social · 11h

or would you expect liberals to be a little more fanatical about those principles of not wanting that to happen?

calling someone a shitlib is a far cry from abandoning the advocation of anyone’s rights. not seeing the difference is the kind of thing that makes me not mind calling a shitlib a shitlib. it’s a pretty mild expression of a what is in fact a far greater feeling of anger and injustice
