    Apparently beating Trump is so important that progressives should abandon everything they been believe in and even tolerate genocide, but not so important that liberals need to actually try to court progressives, rather than endlessly tearing into them with even more venom than they have for Trump. It’s been a year since the election and liberals are still obsessively foaming at the mouth with hatred for progressive; it wasn’t a strategy that worked for them in 2024, but apparently they’re going to keep doing it all the way to 2028.

      DNC fought 100 times more fiercely against Bernie than Trump. They have forever lost my vote.

        As a fellow Bernie supporter, let me assure you that the Republicans support your decision and Bernie doesn’t.

      Do you like having trump dismantle the government and plunge the country into a grifting fascist kakistocracy? Would you have preferred literally anyone else?

      This is the shit YOU CHOSE. No other time no other person no other Republican presidency has been so damaging and it’s not like it’s surprising, we all saw part one. It didnt stop genocide any faster (I don’t believe for a minute the current ceasefire will last). You picked this for us all of us. You asked for it. No thanks for whatever you’re pretending to offer, the rest of us can’t count on you when reality knocks. Maybe you chose the high road, maybe you just picked whatever let you do nothing and feel self important on the internet. In either case it’s shitty and dumb and if it bites you it’s just the cost of change, right?

      Have the day you decided not to vote against.

        Like I said, apparently Trump isn’t so bad that you actually try to court progressives, rather than endlessly tearing into them with even more venom than you have for Trump. Like you said: I choose this, I pick for you, I’m the one with all the power, apparently, to stop Trump, and yet you still can’t bring yourself to not behave like a frothing tantruming child at me for over a year now. You genuinely intend to keep doing this all the way to 2028, don’t you? So if this is how unimportant it is to you, why should I care?

          Whoever cares the least has all the power. You can’t do anything without us either, the difference is I will probably show up because I understand this fact and you won’t.

            Well have fun continuing to eat shit then? It’s hard to take your pontification about how important it is for Dems to win seriously, when you also make it extremely clear that you will not even slightly change tact even when it will mean you eating shit and losing again.

              you will not even slightly change tact

              Yeah, like giving into fascism and licking boots to destroy the country while still getting the genocide. Brilliant fucking move, genius. Gaza is saved.

              Hope you don’t get kirked buddy. It’s cool to believe so strongly in not voting for a candidate you don’t really like you’re willing to allow a president who designated your way of thinking as terrorist activity, but that was the choice.

              My conscience is clear because I am interested in voting whatever is best for everybody at election time and make my moral stand the rest of the time. I’d love to be a fly on the wall to hear you explain to your grandkids how you are so moral and so progressive and so against genocide that you decided to step aside and… allow genocide anyway with a side of 1930s Germany where Hispanics can also be disappeared from the street in broad daylight, heath and disease science get uprooted, and generally allow the government to collapse.

              Very smart. Very cool. Very progressive of you.

                Again, it’s hard to take your overwritten screeds seriously when you also make it extremely clear that you will not even slightly change tact even when it will mean you eating shit and losing again.

        That line becomes less and less effective when you keep using it every single election, especially when the Democrats keep making it pretty obvious that they’re not actually that bothered about stopping MAGA.
