But sure, Bernie was “unpopular” and Clinton “blew him away” 🙄🤦🏻‍♀️ Liberals don’t seem to grasp that we paid attention more than ever these past few election cycles, and we are seeing the shenanigans, like this right here Eleanor describes. You can’t call the piss on our backs rain anymore.

We lived in MN in 2016 and were 2 of the nearly 8M votes that got wiped away by superdelegates like they weren't even cast. Klobuchar was one of those SDs who cast her vote for Clinton, even though Bernie Sanders won MN by 61%. Buttigieg is dishonest as hell.

Blah blah blah, shitlib broken record, shut up, loser.

Basically, if you didn't vote for Kamala Harris, you were stupid and you fucked up. You helped the trump regime hijack us.

This is one of the most asinine Dem apologia takes I’ve ever heard. Completely disconnected from reality.

“Fascism always fails!!” Is less comforting than I’d like it to be given that it also usually kills several million people first.

Someone once said to me, "Imagine the fucked up and twisted mind you need, to OKAY atomic bombs being dropped on flesh and blood human beings like you. And then also imagine the fucked up and twisted mind you need, to be an everyday working class person on the streets, defending such an action!"

FUCKING THIS ABSOLUTELY!

i also just don't think whether palestinian or iranian culture are hostile to lgbt people can impact whether i want to blow their children up with missiles. like i don't even need to ask serious questions about that premise to know that I'm going to land on "don't blow up the children"

Some perspective from someone outside the US.

Works both ways, btw. The conservative Muslims here always argue that "The Western World™️ is also slowly hating you fags and slowly stripping your rights there... So we're 100% in the right!" Forgetting that the Western World™️ that they're spouting will also strip their rights too. Again, funny.

Hear hear!!! So tired of being snidely told to go try living there. That’s literally no different from MAGA retorting about socialism with “go live in Venezuela”. Both are equally reprehensible in my book. I can recognize the issue of hardline religion and still not want them to die.

VƎX Werewolf@vexwerewolf.bsky.social · yesterday

Really tired of having LGBTQ rights brought up as a bully stick by Islamophobes. "If you lived in a Muslim country-" well I don't, man. The vast majority of the people who hold institutional power in any western country are Christians, and guess who's best represented among people trying to kill me?

Hard to take anyone serious when they have anti-tankie in their bio. Even more so when they are so rabidly anti-russian that they'll deny easily verifiable historical evidence.

What worked in the USSR? 🧐

I would say that, this time, fascism in Europe is being boosted by American fascism but, like, that was true of the 20th century too

It’s Free Palestine all day, everyday & if you don’t believe that, you need to go check your morals. 🇵🇸

It’s like liberals (and unfortunately even some leftists) can’t conceive of a society without punishment-by-imprisonment. As if there are no other means to remove harmful actors and no other way to address socially-unacceptable behavior besides incarceration.

So I’m not going to keep responding individually to all the people running into my comments. I’m not anti-VAX. I support vaccines. I don’t believe in throwing people in prison for questioning vaccine safety or for not being vaccinated. I believe in a decreased carceral state, not increased. #ACAB.

Yeah, what DO you know? Jesus, lady, parents do not magically know what is best for their kids - in fact, evidence demonstrates the exact opposite. Getting pissy because you were told your internet “research” is BS is no excuse for going fashy, and we should not pretend it is.

Dr. Katherine Haenschen@drkath.bsky.social · 3d ago

But what do I know, I’m just a woman who has *also* been dismissed & talked rudely to by my kids’ docs, despite my PhD & citing NIH literature. 🤷‍♀️ Getting dismissed for real concerns about your kid is an EASY way to send a Mom to bad places on the Internet who seem to “care” and offer “help.” 3/

What the fuck are you people even talking about? All the billionaires have all the fucking money and you will have to work at least as hard as you already do or more if this continues. Democratic socialists are a “nice shift” but it’s communism or universal basic income or we are all going to die.

What are the dems gonna do for my community after signing the first national law banning trans healthcare

Pretty typical liberal stance. And of course, pretty vile.

RuralReason🇺🇸🇺🇦@ruralreason.bsky.social · yesterday

If you don’t vote you get what you deserve.

"Why should my tax dollars go to giving houses to people who can't afford them?" Why should MY tax dollars should go to satisfying your desire to see desperate people living desperate lives? I'd rather save money and solve the problem, rather than spend money to exacerbate it.

Hey, me too!

I have won as many presidential primary states as Kamala Harris.

"Take that, Leftist men I made up!"

public universal frenemy@vegasrev.bsky.social · 3d ago

The whole "Gloria Steinem was CIA" thing is just supporting my personal theory that a lot of men become leftists so they can be misogynists but in a cool way.

Some people are so incredibly bought in that they refuse to accept any other explanation. No, Jeffries can’t possibly be in bed with the fascists, that must just be a lie cooked up to stoke racism! 🙄🤦🏻‍♀️ No argument that racism is still far too prevalent. And this is not that. This is corruption.

David Avallone@davallone.bsky.social · 3d ago

No one ever meets with their enemies? Particularly when their enemies are weak and expecting to lose the House? The only reason to NOT meet your enemies is simpletons like you who know nothing about how politics work. You never answered who ties your shoes for you in the morning.

Talking to pedants: "No, they're not literally Nazis in the sense that they're not National Socialist Party from the 40's, but they're Christian nationalist, white supremacist fascists who hate and persecute all the same groups that the Nazis did, so I'm just going to call them Nazis as shorthand.

Now, they're relying on "You hate Republicans. Republicans have been a disaster for what you care about. So, we both know you're going to elect us to office just to keep a Republican out. But we won't fight fascism so that we can also win 2028 by virtue of not being Republicans."

Considering that BSky is about to get even more hostile to people like me, if my account suddenly vanishes, it’s not by my own choice. I’ve literally never posted there but if I get targeted by the mods, I might start posting from Mastodon over at @ValHayden@social.vivaldi.net

Shitlibs love inventing imaginary scenarios to get angry at leftists over. It’s practically an obsession.

Damn right! I would venture to say any candidate who “raises” more than a million dollars is worth scrutiny, and certainly raking in 5 or 6 figures is a giant red flag. Not only is it indicative of corruption, that money would be MUCH better served somewhere besides a politician’s coffers.

Steve Ahlquist@steveahlquist.bsky.social · 4d ago

At what point do we realize that a candidate able to outspend their opponent 10 to 1 or more has no policy positions or ideas that truly resonate with voters, they’re just drowning them will bullshit funded by those with power?

I know we’ve thrown around the term cognitive dissonance a lot before, but it really is the only explanation for why liberals get so angry at people who explain that we couldn’t vote to bomb in children in Gaza instead of getting angry at Biden or Harris. Deep down they know they’re wrong. 

This is abuser tactics. “It’s your fault we’re being such total shitheads to you!”

Kat, The Oracle Near Delphi Falls, a maven of funk mutation@originallabgrrl.bsky.social · 4d ago

If they didn't want Liberals to start speaking out, then they should have left the colleges and universities alone. We're pretty much content to sit in ivory towers and let you burn it down, but you all decided to keep poking us until we came downstairs. Progressives wanted us here, now we're here.

The Democratic Loyalty Cult is out in fine form today. Hey, asshat - when the Jackasses give the fascists everything they want to do fascist shit, what does that make them?
