    Unless I’m the one who’s misunderstanding lol

    No, you’re not. If voting could undo fascism it wouldn’t exist. If the wants of the majority of people in the US actually counted the US would be a place we couldn’t even imagine in this reality - and so would the rest of the world.

    downvotes are from people

    I got the exact same response in 2016 as well… even leftists who should have known better hysterically accused me of “accelerationsim” for stating that a Trump presidency would energize the left - which it did (mysteriously, without any “accelerationism” on my part at all).

    I don’t blame them… people are grasping at straws. It was the same in 2016.

      yes, we could have preserved basic human rights for women by just voting for them directly when we had the chance, but it’s much more entertaining for me if a bunch of people suffer needlessly to achieve the same goal

      How fucking privileged can you be? This isn’t a fucking game. Grow the fuck up.

        for women by just voting for them directly

        Are you talking about a certain neocolonialist prodigy of notorious mass-murderer Henry Kissinger, perhaps?

        Do tell, liberal - how many lives in the 3rd world would you sacrifice for your venal and hollow “girlboss” fake-feminism?

          My farts smell better when they are uncorrupted by any semblance of nuance or pragmatism.

          Yes, we all understand that you’ve smugly absolved yourself from the burden of real statecraft by being smarter than everyone, but I assure you that plenty of vulnerable people still think your privileged shit stinks like hell.

            Again, liberal - how many lives in the 3rd world would you sacrifice for your venal and hollow “girlboss” fake-feminism?

                  We get it, you will use any excuse to be smug and contrarian. Real galaxy brain shit.

                    Masquenox has a history online of being an asshole just to be an asshole. You have to realize, he’s a kid and he doesn’t have a brain in his head or know anything of the real world yet. Don’t waste time trying to have a battle of wits with someone like him, he’s clearly unarmed.

              LOL as if being “Liberal” is in any way a bad thing. It’s actually the only viable and intelligent thing a person can aspire to be. Anything else is worthless. And any comment to the contrary is just as worthless as far as I’m concerned.

                I’ve never met someone so proud to declare themselves the most limp-wristed strain of right-winger on the spectrum… it’s no wonder the alt-right ran rings around you.

                That is really all that the term “liberal” means in the US these days… a privileged “moderate” that is too squeamish to perform the brutal violence that keeps them privileged. That’s what fascists are there for, right?

                  Better to be limp wristed than limp brained like yourself. I am very damn proud to be a liberal, my bumper sticker reads: “Liberal and God-damn Proud of It.” If my family has privilege and some money, that’s not something I’m ever going to apologize for - I am damn proud of that also.

                  You are not a very good communicator, but about what I’d expect from a limp-brained idiot like yourself. It’s glaringly apparent how we on the smarter and more progressive side have managed to run rings around you and your kind and not only that - I love every minute of it.

                    Oooh… feeling a bit threatened by all the people that is so clearly “beneath” you, eh?

                    have managed to run rings around you and your kind

                    Like you did in 2016?
