Fuck Joe Biden and team for watching the devolution to fascism happening in real time and deciding to spend their time doing genocide instead of stopping fascism.
Not just that but ABSOLUTELY REFUSING to defend the country from domestic terrorism
I still can't believe they sat on their fucking hands after Trump's multiple indictments, and did nothing to prevent the dude from running again after breaking the law 90+ times. What a useless party. All they did was try to look good.
Be fair. They also sold weapons to netanyahu for genocide.
For those that are confused, the above comment is an excellent example of propaganda
Is it inaccurate to say Biden/Garland slow rolled arresting Trump?
Propaganda doesn't have to be inaccurate to be propaganda.
All it needs to do is fulfill an ulterior intent
The old Uncle Sam 'I want you' posters weren't even factual claims but they certainly were propaganda that led to many people signing up that would have otherwise lived.
So facts are propaganda now. Got it.
Actually yes. Something can be both true and shown in a biased or misleading way.

The dictionary proving me wrong is propaganda! /s
Fair enough, however.
It just has to disagree with your worldview.
Incorrect, there's plenty of propaganda that agrees with my worldview, and that's the most insidious and most important to be vigilant against.
Why are you putting words into my mouth? Scared of a conversation?
I'm not. I'm outright saying that you dismiss anything that disagrees with you as propaganda.
And fuck all the accelerationists who, instead of telling people to vote for Harris anyway, shouted her sins from the rooftops down at the voters.
We are not accelerationist. We are realist. And you have your head stuck up your bum. America is an imperialist empire and fascists are the useful idiots of the empire. The chemist watches chemicals change, so do people who have political literacy. What is happening is not a surprise. Liberals are controlled opposition and they work on behalf of the military industrial complex. Love me, love me, I'm a liberal. Leaning in to smell your own brand I bet. Kahlama lama ding dong there's nothing but a pig. And as I change my framework and I'm honest with myself, I listen to her talk and she sounds almost like she doesn't even want to be there. The Democrats are losing. Not only because there is no way you're going to stop this train, but because they're too fat and happy. Oh Nancy! Where's Nancy? Probably too busy getting rich. You can't just watch YouTube and TV and act like you're an expert on politics. I listen to the right wing because they are the byproduct of a failing capitalist system and they have needs as well. And they might project their insecurities on you, but at the same time, they are the confused proletariat.
You're right, Kamala didn't want to be there. She wanted to lose. And you were fool enough to give her exactly what she wanted. Why did you work with Kamala? Why help her?? Are you working for the liberal oligarchy too?
What is this cacophonous radical ideology that makes the MLs give their sensible arguments? I MUST HAVE THIS POWER
Shouting Bidens sins was the only way to get them to run a candidatewho coukd have had a shot. Its the DNCs fault she positioned herself to commit the same sins.
So you're saying you took a risky gambit hoping the Democrats would improve, and they didn't, and you got a fascist elected?
Who could have predicted thaaaaaaaaat.
I did not make genocide unpopular, the only way the dems could have won was if they did everything in their power to fight Republicans and improve people's material conditions and promised even more after the election. The only thing I could do was try to stop them from deluding themselves that they could win with dogshit policy and 4 years of telling their constituents to eat shit while working with Republicans.
I can't tell if I have a higher opinion of you because I think you could have done better, or if I have a lower opinion of you because you won't accept you failed. Either way no, you didn't choose the best strategy you could have.
The only strategy that could have worked was to get the dems to run an electable platform. Telling critics to shut up and vote helps them maintain the delusion the can win with the right messaging or moving further to the right. Nothing I could possibly say to a random potential voter will be as effective as "the dems ar e the reason you have free healthcare", "the Republicans will restart the genocide in Palestine", or "remember that time Biden's AG threw Trump and a dozen republican congressmen in prison for treason?"
And you thought the democrats were smart enough to run an electable platform? Well then I'm sure you won't take it as an insult when I say your intelligence is akin to theirs.
Your plan failed, and you should have known it would fail.
They have proven that they can be forced to do the right thing when they have no alternative. They got rid of Biden when even their most optimistic polls showed him losing, and Harris's popularity didn't crater fast enough when she started to embrace the policies that killed the Biden campaign for them to get back on course.
Didn't you hear? It's actually because she's a woman. Women can't win now that progressives have an obvious popular female candidate and centrists don't.
So you're saying even when they listened to you, they still picked a moderate liberal who's complicit with genocide and brags about drilling for oil.
You cannot scare them into doing the right thing. They're too stupid. Stop going after this pie in the sky and accept the world we live in. I can't believe that I have to explain to you that the democrats are stupid. Why do you have so much faith in them?
She only started when her popularity let the dems believe they could use the same policy. I have zero faith in the dems moral fortitude or intelligence, I am only going off what has motivated dems to pretend they want what we want in the past.
Nothing has motivated them to do that in the past decade+. Whatever goodness and ability to adapt to the people's wishes you're seeing in them, it's not there. Please stop defending the democrats.
