      Underage cousins*

      *FTFY. Don’t forget Republicans in a bunch of states have been fighting minimum marriage age laws on top of everything else.

    Ban the confederate flag and prosecute anyone who flies it as an enemy of the state. We keep patting these traitors on the butt then shocked Pikachu-ing when they double down instead of magically seeing the error of their ways. I’m fucking over it and over watching dems use them as an excuse to scurry further right for “moderates” that have never and will never vote dem to please their corporate owners.

      The election is coming up in… now… We’ve had 4, 6, 8, yrs depending on the goal. I don’t think anything just is happening in the next 251 days. I’m very afraid. And the left wing protest vote to elect Trump is such an irrational concept that the fact they believe is reasonable to any extent, already killing future votes of bystanders today, that I don’t put it past them to be irrational and hand him Michigan and others on a platter.

        You can screech about leftists all you want, if they’re so important maybe it’s time democrats work with them instead of spitting in their face then blaming em when dems lose.

        Not the lefts fault dems are a stones throw from Republicans, hell look at your narrative - Dems move us towards fascism all the same but oh dems are the only hope to save our nation and leftists are “less than” plebs who are voting wrong by voting for what they feel is right instead of your party cause you say to.

        Just admit it, yall love harping about trump because it gives you the high ground against anyone left of Biden - yall hate leftists and see them as enemies WAYYYYYYY more than you ever did Republicans or MAGAts.

          I’m a socialist. For 30 years. An actual activist IRL. Beaten by cops for the first time at age 12, tear gassed multiple times, led protests in NYC, yadda yadda. Sorry, you called out the wrong Internet stranger. There’s no y’all. I’m who you believe you are. I want what you purport to want. I also think your personal world view is not grounded in reality and reflects mental illness not that far off from the orange cult. Zero sum game.

          The party taking women’s agency and promoting fascism is worse than the party that is not. And if you cared about women, trans kids, black people, Muslims, refugees, LGBTQIA+ people, educators, healthcare workers, unionists, any person of color or member of any out group, you’d prioritize protecting them.

          Who are you to sacrifice all those people for your ideological screeching about how you wish things were without any actual plan in mind to improve things?

          Explain yourself. Don’t whataboutism. Respond to the above. I don’t think you can. You’re selfish. You don’t give a shit about other people. You’re a loud snowflake troll. I know because I used to be you. Then I grew up and thought about the actual people around me, not the ideological ones I pretended to fight for.

          What are you doing to protect your community besides proudly electing a government that stands for its demise, and the demise of your comrades? Seriously, I’m asking.

            There’s more of that dehumanization, “you disagree with me so you’re mentally ill.” More of that “only WE can save the country.” Instead of making demands and throwing personal insults (also pretty faschie of you,) why don’t you explain why dems SHOULDN’T work with leftists if leftists supposedly cost them every election they lose?

            You can vote Biden to SaVe ThE wOrLd, but you ignore the long game for the now. Saving marginalized groups in the short term does NOT change that we’re still moving further right towards fascism with either party. You’re not saving anybody if you don’t change the system that is pushing for those groups to be further marginalized. You’re calling the bandaid the cure and fighting people who want a cure harder than you ever fought the people hurting those groups. Next time, dems will be three steps closer than they are now, but “vote blue no matter who!” time after, three more steps closer, but “blue no matter who!”

            Each go around more and more extreme rhetoric and policy is normalized partially due to dems refusal to hold their feet to the fire. We’re only a few elections away from the dems throwing trans people under the bus too to “court moderates.” Then they’ll keep creeping down the list same as Republicans, because any force to move them in any different direction is artificially snuffed.

            You obviously think you’re a hero voting dem, but all you’re doing is voting for the end of democracy in 10 years instead of 5, so I’ll see you on the other side brosef.
