    pls don’t let all the liberal downvoting discourage you. posts like this are more than welcome here <3

    If Harris were actually leftwing, she’d pull that lever instantly, burn NATO to the ground, crush Isn’treal and many other based things

    but alas, she is just the “good” cop of the bourgeoisie

    (which essentially just means slapping BLM, LGBT and “feminist” stickers onto the bombs she drops wherever Wall Street requires it)

      thanks, much appreciated. It’s very stark contrast to the real life discussions where they are mostly furious at harris & dnc. most of the time we are infact discussing that sanders, aoc and warren should create a new party as dnc has become beyond repair. they can definitely crowdfund the support like in 2016.

      I don’t think I am understanding this right. I thought liberals would be generally against big evil companies doing big evil stuff and big evil rich people doing the same.

      Am I wrong in this?

        The left wing is against big private companies. Liberals are all about capitalism and the free market. These two ideology often get mistaken for each other, even though they actually oppose each other.

        Liberals don’t rly care about that systemically or rather they only end up paying lip service to those issues instead of wanting to tackle the problems at it’s root (and that is ripping out the system that is capitalism)

      i’m an anarchist, but i’m also polish, and we kinda need NATO right now, with the whole Russia thing at our doorstep. i know it’s not ideal, but fuck, not many other options out there and i do enjoy not being forcibly drafted to war

    If you are an American and not a Harris votes, what do you expect will happen to political power in the next year?

    Are peacefully voting against a dictator, general strikes and forcefully guillotining the bourgeoisie all mutually exclusive?

      no one ever said anything about boycotting the vote. If you think trying to curb unconditional support for genocide equals Trump, that’s on you. Ofc one should vote blue in a swing state, but don’t act like it’s a good thing that’ll fix anything. Strategic and conscious voting may be necessary but is by far nor enough political action

      sigh, it’s not about trump. its about dnc wanting to get a free pass on genocide, inflation and they seem to be getting away with it. everyone wanting them to compromise on humanitarian crisis in gaza has been labelled tankie, russian troll.

      candidates usually over-promise and underdeliver. and here we are being given shit so what do you think will happen when harris gets elected and says america has voted for the genocide, fracking, wall and more corporate greed ?

      we should just bend over now when we have the leverage ?
