That's without getting into how emphasis on "workers" as the fundamental constituency of leftism leads to a de-emphasis of the rights of disabled people

It's simple: consent is being manufactured daily by some of the media and the majority of the sell-side analyst community that AI is here and will be huge, to the point that everybody is fairly irrational or uses the old "i'm not really a numbers person" excuse.

I will not sit idly by and let you impugn the honour of diaperfurs in this manner.

Either way, once you realize that the US is and always has been the evil empire, the boot on the face of resistance movements worldwide, you stop hoping for its electoral-industrial complex to deliver the needed change.

If you voted for democrats you knew were committing incomprehensible evil, to try to protect those things, you sold your soul and got nothing in return. Welcome to the ranks of the damned. Let's try to do better for the rest of our mortal lives, maybe.

It's just that now they don't have any reason to hide. They're mobilizing death squads and turning it into content instead.

Their base loved the Gaza dead baby videos, and never needed to pretend that it was just a necessary evil so the US could (refrain from defending) queer and abortion rights.

It's a generational evil, a precedent being set, and the prototype for ICE's killing and disappearing of the US' own ethnic undesirables in broad daylight.

Which, to be clear, they were already doing under Biden and Obama; Pretti's killers were 8-10 year veterans. Kids in cages? Obama.

Having said that, it's possible for a reasonable person to look at the corruption of Ukraine's leaders, and their cultural cozying up to Nazis, and be less than excited about putting a 🇺🇦 in bio even if they aren't outright tankies

With Gaza though it's pretty much black and white, no nuance needed

Let's go to Sudan and Myanmar, other sites of genocide: The US is allies with the UAE (perpetrators of Sudan's genocide) but the connection is a hell of a lot less direct than "elected Democratic president sends billions of dollars' worth of munitions."

Myanmar was abetted by Facebook, not Biden.

Setting aside that this is a diversion, if someone _were_ concerned about both they would only be protesting the Gaza genocide in the US, because the US is arming both Ukraine and Israel and they don't have a problem with the former.

Too much diversity. There should only be video game, not games.

Never forget that the dems promoted Trump and MAGA candidates, in 2016 and beyond. How else can they get those sweet donations?

They wanted people to have to choose between them and Trump, because they get more money and can push billionaire donors' agendas more reliably that way.

Do you actually think it's a coincidence that massively popular policies with the dem base, like "no genocide" and "health care for all", never get implemented no matter how much of a majority there is? Dems like Manchin are sin-eaters. AOC is complicit.

A lot of US progressives had family that were literally being shot, bombed, caged, starved, etc. In and out of the US. Meanwhile, dem candidates' jobs is to preserve the status quo and rob elderly people of "campaign contributions."

The system that does that doesn't deserve anyone's endorsement.

Accusing progressives of making Kamala lose, like they put a gun to her head and forced her to campaign with Liz Cheney

and pose for pics with Border Patrol and talk about how important it is to deport undocumented immigrants

which Obama and Biden did a ton of, and also caged kids

I seem to recall that when it was Israelis' corruption and brutality etc, AOC was telling Americans to "grow up"
