IDK, maybe when more people here are getting screwed over, libs will radicalize and get off their asses instead of trying to guilt us for not giving legitimacy unconditionally to their favorite “lesser evil” bourgeois party.

Of course, using their meager leverage to extract concessions from the people supposedly representing them never crosses their minds…

Also imagine having the audacity to call us privileged when you see what’s going on in Gaza as a “single issue” instead of an escalation of violence by the ruling class that can and will go back to us.

    There are queer people, disabled people, and homeless people in Palestine. Why do they matter less than people where you live?

    WHY DO THEY MATTER LESS MOTHERFUCKER? big-honk

    If I hear one more liberal say single issue, I’m gonna snap. It’s like saying, "Oh, you’re not gonna vote for hitler just because he wants to kill all the jews and communists, when he has so many other great things planned??? Well I’ve never been a single issue voter.

    If genocide doesn’t count as an important enough deal-breaker to these people, they are soulless ghouls who don’t deserve rights.

    Reminds me of this post I made 5 months ago. Might come in handy. Please add onto it and correct me because I’m a LIB about your favorite issue and was spitballing for a couple minutes


    I don’t think Biden being a pragmatic choice is a settled matter. I haven’t seen anything that implies he is a meaningful distinction on things I care about.

    Israel? Nope

    Student debt? Nope

    Abortion? Nope

    Unions? Nope

    Climate change? Nope

    The border? Nope

    Homelessness? Nope

    War on drugs? Nope

    Inflation? Nope

    Tax lobbying? Nope

    Healthcare? Nope

    LGBT protection? Maybe if you squint your eyes

    Campaign finance? Nope

    Difference between productivity and purchasing power? Nope

    Copyright? Nope

    Breaking up big business monopolies? Nope

    Oh yeah…

    And…

    WAR??? FUCKING NO

    The worst most hawkish fascist military might that has ever existed and continues to constrict the entire planet? Nope

    The only difference is whether fascists get radicalized or they get emboldened

    “well they might be killing arab babies but we have to vote for the party that will save the vulnerable minority groups back home” - someone who thinks that voting for the dems will save any of these groups

    Tapping the sign again…

    :posting: :posting: :posting:

    Half of the electorate does not vote, outnumbering all voters of any persuasion combined.

    If you are scolding people about voting, start pounding pavement drumming up those votes. Doorknocking means actually listening to other people’s issues and being persuasive, not being a judgemental prick blasting others in yet another moral screed.

    previously… previously… previously… previously…

    There is something so wrong accusing someone of having privelage when you are voting for a monster that is the reason children starve to death or die by bombs

    Libs: Wow, you’re not gonna let in the serial killer to fix the sink? You want us to be without water? He mostly just kills homeless people! How can you distrust someone for that!?

    I am queer. Being so contributed to me being hotel homeless last year. Not officially but before that I was disabled from hurting myself for a solid year. Did I miss an extra 600 dollars of Biden bucks somewhere?

      Yeah that’s the weirdest part.

      He also broke the rail strike. He has concentration camps for asylum seekere at the border! He presided over the dismantling of abortion rights, and didn’t use the expansive powers the court gave him to protect them. He’s funneling weapons to Banderites (gotta be extra careful with this spicy one here, libs love Banderites). He was, relatedly, clearly involved in corruption in Ukraine with his kid. He didn’t immediately kill, publicize and disavow the anti-vax conspiracy theory psyop he inherited from Trump.

      The truth is that if he was otherwise perfect but still supported genocide, I would be a single issue voter and refuse to vote for him or for Kopmala, but I’m actually not a single issue voter, I already hated this old demonic cadaver.
