teaches the Dems to drift right because they keep losing to conservative candidates.

lmao right, they rigged their primaries against Bernie’s leftist populism because they were just too stupid to understand how much people want houses and healthcare, not because they’re owned by capitalist oligarchs or anything

🤡

Genocidaires and their symps get no votes, sorry. I do not care if what I do is beneficial to the Republicans over the Democrats because I do not regard them as being meaningfully worse than Democrats in their actions, only in their rhetoric. My actual goal is for my actions to be contrary to the interests of the empire, and voting for Blue MAGA is decidedly not that.

Nobody’s saying that voting for the just a tiny bit slightly less evil party is wrong and you shouldn’t do it.

I am, actually. Signing your name to greenlight internationally-recognized genocide in order to protect your own comfort - in other words, valuing your privilege above the actual lives of thousands of other human beings - is wrong and you shouldn’t do it.

If you’re told that’s the cost to save our nation, or to avoid having to fight a fascist government, or whatever other bullshit Blue MAGA wants to sell you, the correct and moral response is, “That price is too high and I refuse.”

“Show me how to do revolution”

Or you could educate yourself? Not that it’s a serious question from you anyway, obviously.

I’ll give you a first step: grow food and feed your neighbors. Figure it out from there on your own.

Never mind that they voted to continue funding ICE every single year they were in power,

never mind that they did nothing to codify abortion / LGBT protections when they had a supermajority under Obama,

never mind that their so-called “progressives” like AOC vote to arm an apartheid ethnostate recognized by a multitude of international human rights organizations as committing genocide,

I’m going to downvote you because what you’re saying makes me sad

Sure… but after decades of apathy, those are the only choices Americans have left.

Lol what? Maybe in electoral politics, but that’s just a testament to the fact that we have no chance of being saved through that route.

America is basically over

Best outcome for the human species tbf.

Reducing the condemnation of an openly genocidal entity to “hand-wringing”, and support for said genocide to “flaws”, is on par for the soulless liberal.

It’s clear lefties are not interested in building political power

But I thought we had so much political power that we caused your pro-genocide corporate-owned candidate to fail?

Also leftists don’t drink Starbucks dipshit.

instagram will […] add age-verification

Judge Bryan Biedscheid is slated to hold a trial without a jury on the state’s claims that Meta created a public nuisance that harmed state residents’ health and safety. The state will ask Biedscheid to direct Meta

Listen, I cannot wait for the day that everyone stops using Meta products and Mark Zuckerberg is turned into longpork wagyu in his stolen-land Hawaiian bunker, but the latter statement does not seem to support the initial claim.

I wouldn’t hold my breath for any changes which will meaningfully impact the profitability of Meta.

As a regular of the old-internet, including hellsites such as VampireFreaks dot com, I promise it takes more than that for the government to care. VF was the site of two? vampire-inspired teenage murderers and a few other horrors, including one of the admins defending the presence of a convicted pedophile who was banned from using Facebook.

As for why, my assumption is that you cannot fine an entity which is barely profitable. I mean you can but you won’t get anything, so they’re unlikely to bother.

Phrased in another way, it’s equivalent to if you had $1,618 in the bank and were fined $0.30.

Relying on it otherwise is stupid and just proves instantly that you are incompetent.

Relying on it in any circumstances (though medical stuff is understandable if you’re simply too poor or don’t have access) while it is exhausting water supplies and polluting the planet is stupid and instantly proves that you are stupid and inconsiderate.

Deep breaths stranger, I promise I’ll check out IronFox so Brave doesn’t get my $0.20 per year to destroy our rights

Ah yes, my massive endowment of $0 towards the Brave LGBT Hate Fund

I recommend(ed) it so people have a mobile browser with functional adblock. I don’t need to research further to know it does that well, which frankly is all most people will care about.

Controlled opposition is AOC / Bernie / increasingly-looking-like Zohran. Most Dems don’t even pretend to be effective opposition, unless you’re 50+ and think a strongly worded letter counts as opposition.

(but we all know you will because you still think unhinged MAGA voters will somehow come around)

That’s not why. Not really. It’s because leftwing populism is contrary to the desires of the oligarchs (campaign donors / etc) who own them, while rightwing populism is either acceptable or more often actually beneficial.

Republican / Democrat is offense / defense for the same team owners.
