People can only hold one set of beliefs in their heads at a time.

Republicans hold ten contradictory beliefs simultaneously and are immune to cognitive dissonance.

Accelerationists didn't depress the vote, the pro-fracking genocide apologist who tried to appeal to Republicans instead of her own base did.

The Democrats were never going to save us, only we can save us. The lazy people are those who thought voting alone would be sufficient and won't re-engage with politics until the next election.

Yep just like you did lol.

Pardon?

[–] knightly@pawb.social 1 points 21 hours ago

When did I ever imply that?

You admit that running an actual progressive instead of a pro-fracking genocide apologist would be better, yet you think that admitting the weakness of our fascist "allies" isn't excusable?

Make it make sense.

Yeah, I didn't think the Dems could screw it up regardless of how badly they're cosplaying right-wing nutjobs from 2004.

Either Americans oppose genocide more than I hoped, or they're more bigoted than I feared. Dunno whether I'm too cynical or not cynical enough.

Right?

With friends like these, who needs enemies?

That was already the case, remember when Harris was excited to get Republican endorsements and promised to put one on her cabinet?

If they were so great, they wouldn't need the PR.

What people need is organization and mutual aid to help them survive another Trump admin.

If it really mattered to the Democrats, they wouldn't be phoning it in on every issue from climate change to abortion to genocide. The party only has itself to blame for its failure to appeal to voters.

Things will only get better by making them better.

And people are lazy and don't try, so things always get worse until things get bad enough that people get fed up with the things and do something about them.

For the last four years, people have been acting like they don't need to get off their asses and fundamentally change their way of life to address climate change because there was a Democrat in office. Now the Democrats aren't going to save them and they don't have a choice if they want a habitable planet for their grandkids.

 
 
 
 

Specifically, ones that aren't chock-full of mobile game enshittification and in-app purchases?

I don't mind paying for games but I'm sick and tired of predatory monetization schemes and will immediately uninstall a game if the tutorial insists on showing me a store page.
