The thing about this that really makes me ashamed of the democratic establishment is the depiction of the girl on the right vs on the left. This post is literally trying to marginalize progressives. Just look at lemmy, half the progressives here are cishet conputer programmers and Linux nerds in their 40s. This post is trying to enforce a harmful stereotype to make progressives seem like a smaller, less influencial, more radicalized group. It’s already playing into bigotry: the progressive is shown as younger (ageism), with darker skin (racism), more “radical” views, as a drug addict., etc; enforcing the bias that progressives are somehow irresponsible young’uns with unrealistic world-views. Fuck this shit. Never thought I’d see something so obviously bigoted on Lemmy.
Fascists don’t fear blue voters. You know what they fear? Shattered teeth
Or, now here me out, Dems could run a platform people want to vote for?
Please tell me this is ironic
It is a bona fide depiction of what right wingers think their opposition is.
It’s not
It would be if I reposted it
Fascist fear millennial cringe?
Fascists fear class solidarity
Eww reddit content in my lemmy feed
No its, vote blue no matter who* only applicable if the said blue candidate is not progressive
and the whole fucking time we are voting in primaries, it’s all “progressive candidates can’t win the election” and astroturfed lies and slander using democratic funds to hurt itself in its own confusion. want my vote? field candidates that i would vote for.
and no kings is performative at best
want my vote? field candidates that i would vote for.
I hope you still go to the polls and write-in if you don’t like either candidate.
I do. I want it on record that I won’t vote for right wing Democrats.
Funniest part is when Del libs tell me that the left won’t vote for a woman - because I voted for De La Cruz.
i voted harris for president, but at this point i am so disgusted with how the democrats are acting that i will vote third party if needed.
But maybe , just maybe this time let’s not force us to go with establishment democrats, let the people actually decide.
The funniest thing is how 'muricans look at this and say “yes, we’re a free democracy”
If you want to know why lefties lose you need only look at the comments critical of this post.
It’s absolutely valid to be displeased by how center or right-leaning the “left-wing” candidates are. But you have to accept that only supporting your perfect candidate is just going to keep pushing all candidates to the right as they lose.
What a dank meme my fellow left wing ally!!
Like giving a free pass to those who through corruption and distance from the people enabled republicans to put a monster at the head of the white house?
Future dictator surely approves!
