Can I get a smug lecture on how you’re choosing the third, disconnected track?
Dems have supported ICE for decades and still do
A ton of Dems are actively throwing trans people under the bus, joining Republicans in voting for Apartheid toilet bills and shit
Dems have also wholeheartedly supported the War on Terror that killed and displaced millions of people and have barred muslims from conventions even last year simply for being muslims
Obama had more deportations than any other presidents and this was touted as a dunk on Trump. Obama also introduced the cages. For children.
Their ‘support’ for BLM was also completely performative. When it came to actual action, BLM protests were violently crushed, organizers criminalized or killed, police budgets skyrocketed and nothing fundamentally changed
Remember the ratchet system. Republicans make things worse. Dems make sure they never get better.
Y’all got an extremely shitty choice to make. Republicans need to be ousted. And expect better from these motherfuckers that call themselves Democrats too.
seems to me that actively sabotaging any effort into making a connection to the third track so that no one has to die is a REAL ass hole move.
Why did the democratic party leadership tie the palestinians to the upper set of tracks? Sure seems like they have chosen not to do that? But since they knew they’d get a pass from voters like OP, and thought they could still win while taking those aipac bribes, they decided to cash those aipac checks, right? And they are STILL doing it, isnt that right?
People like u/godric (OP) like to pretend this trolley problem just arose out of nowhere, but it didnt did it. It was contrived to be this choice. Kind of like a hostage situation with the party’s own voters-- voters who overwhelmingly do not support war crimes.
What do you call a Nazi collaborator?
Regardless of strategic validity, I think “accept genocide X to postpone genocide Y” is just not a very hopeful message, and thus is not likely to encourage voter turnout or any political action
If people don’t choose the third track, it will never be finished getting built. And clearly having only 2 tracks isn’t working.
Issue is the following:
In many cases, there are the same exact things on the top track too, because the consultants told the democrats that if they tie them too to the tracks, people will pull the lever for them. For every Californian not pulling the lever, there will be 4-5 hillbillies from the deep south doing so.
We can stop trying to convince vocal non-voters. They are 100% either trolls trying to eat productive time or completely irrational, pig headed imbeciles and attention whores, and lecturing at them - or otherwise engaging with them in any way - is a complete waste of time. Let them smug themselves in isolation.
We either save civilization going AROUND their obstructions, or it’s not savable.

Its not about them. Its about lurkers who are reading and might accept their faulty logic.
I repeat myself: none if you morons bringing up the trolley problem understand what the trolley problem is.
Yes but if all the people I don’t like also get overrun then I am happier!
Hooray let’s all go the KZ together All the libs fault of course hihi
Plus “we’re not stupid, you just don’t get it lol”
Yeah you can very easily add a few more of them bottom row victim to that top row too. Don’t be lying now.

Oh look another one posted by none other than Godric…. What a sad excuse of a person. At least have some real stance other than “leftists bad and they are telling us not to vote!”
Which we aren’t saying btw.
The Progressive Except Palestine line.
Oh, so you guys are just gonna start acting like the Democratic party isn’t bigoted and evil? Is that really necessary to make the argument that the Republican party can’t be in power? You’re talking about the only real federal parties in the United States, the most destructive imperialist entity in human history.
When I see narratives like, “the Democratic party isn’t going to kill queer people,” I wonder if any of you even think of victims of US imperialism as people. Even within the metropole’s borders, how many women have died because the Democratic Party used abortion as a vote hostage? How many disabled people have died because they refused to guarantee healthcare (social programs aren’t the same, and do not establish the requirement of their own existence)?
These people are all imperialists, they’re evil, and the system they benefit from has to end for any of us to be safe. You can just say “the Republican Party is too successful with overt bigotry go be legitimized,” or, “we don’t need voting to be moral for it to be an exercise of our power.” You don’t have to fucking say that a genocidal, capitalist, imperialist institution is somehow only bad to one group of people (which makes it evil anyway).
