    “Leftists”: I don’t even see any difference between these candidates, “Dems” are fascists

    “Leftists”: Union buster worst president ever I can’t possibly vote for this guy

    “Leftists”: How dare Biden personally cause Covid inflation and grocery price gouging, all of which is definitely his fault and which I keep bringing up

    “Leftists”: Biden didn’t stop his enemies from voting down weed legalization, killing immigrants, and making abortion illegal, and several other things that other people did, and so that fact that they did those things is completely on him

    “Leftists”: I’ve been betrayed by Biden so so many times after I definitely voted for him previously, I’m very emotional about it and you should be very angry at him, the Democrats haven’t earned my vote and that’s definitely a good logical framework for an election that also includes literal Hitler

    “Leftists”: Hey I have a poll which indicates Biden is behind among left handed Costa Ricans (actually he’s ahead but his support has dropped a lot), I posted a couple others today but maybe you missed the ones before. I’m just trying to get out the vote and help Biden

    Also “Leftists”: Hey it hurts me a lot when you disagree with my constructive criticism, please don’t do that anymore, pls and thx

      Right on! Fuck everyone who dare imagine a better world than a literal dinosaur making extinction worthy policy since the alternative is straight-up going to murder us all themselves.

        You can imagine a better world than Biden. That sounds like a great idea to me. How can I help?

        (I mean, aside from in the meantime not electing the guy who wants to kill the protestors working for a better world among many other things that would make him being president a very bad problem.)

          Participate in collective action: protests, unions, strikes, socialist political parties and so on. Tell your friends they are uncool if they like fascism and very dope if they like increasing their bargaining power with solidaric unity.

          Also recognize that violence is inherent to any system of government and that disobedience is a tool, like any other, to fight back at what is unjust. It is also important to recognize that the disenfranchised are bearing the weight of the inadequacies of the staus quo and that being in position to be patient is a privilege.

            All of these sound like great ideas. Wanting all of them to be able to happen is actually exactly why I’m in favor of making sure Trump doesn’t get elected in November.

            protests

            This will be easier if Trump does not have a loyal police force that will fire with lethal ammunition on protests

            unions, strikes

            This will be easier if the people that run the NLRB are pro-labor, instead of the guy who broke the ATC strike back in the Reagan days (which was who Trump installed to run it, who Biden fired on day 1)

            socialist political parties

            This will be easier if Trump’s military has not seized the voting machines, and we still have elections, and congresspeople who disobey Trump don’t get killed by a mob

              Sure, but harm reduction does not need to infringe on critique of the current executive branch. If criticizing Biden is enough to make Trump win, then he has already won. Biden does not need to be more than a union buster for me to detest him, and still he is more crappy than that. I am not saying he is the worst, but I do not hate myself or my comrades enough to aim that low for the role of the most powerful man in the world.

              Yeah, I did actually feel bad for the Stegosaurus in the comparison and chose to mention them only because they are so cool! :(

    It’s funny how leftists always become victims in the comment sections of posts where they seemingly attack everyone that disagrees with them.

    What’s even funnier is how they think no one notices.

      I think you misunderstood. We just want to make capitalists and their usual fascist collaborators into victims of mass empowerment. If we can serve them their own balls, that is a bonus.

      To be clear, leftists are proles refusing to be victims of exploitation.

          1. Vote for a candidate who will receive 0 EC delegates.
          2. Experience early 20th Century style fascist takeover except the country that will be invading its neighbors to steal resources has the largest army on the planet by a lot and a ridiculous nuclear arsenal.
          3. ???
          4. Full socialism.

          See? It is simple and easy.
