    Funny thing how this is the sort of thing that those troll factories we’ve read about that feed propaganda on all sides of an issue would do. I’m not saying that they don’t get momentum going with those brainwashable enough so they all would be shills, just saying, funny how that’s where the impetus and motivation to effectively influence an argument would come from. Funny how people who dismiss this possibility just seem to believe those troll factories would just wasting all their time, money, and effort in ineffective easily detectable propaganda that totally doesn’t influence the social circles popular enough to have you engaging in them.

    Be smart enough to realize what outcome you are really contributing to when there are no ideal solutions and not the ideology that resides on a dead end that really favors the worst outcome.

    lmao I got called “Blue MAGA” for encouraging strategic voting just yesterday. I was a card carrying member of DSA before it was cool.

    You can tell an election is coming up because all the bots and shills crawl out of the woodwork to start arguments between centrist Democrats and progressive leftists. I’m often disappointed by Status Quo Democrats but I’ll take a status quo that doesn’t work well enough for everyone over a lurch towards fascism that intends to claw back every right we’ve secured since the 1860’s and eagerly steal the territory and resources of middle powers… and do it all fucking incompetently.

    Seriously though people please vote! Yes, the National ballots are nearly worthless. But you still need to vote for your local City/School/County boards! Your local reps are the people making the decision to sign a flock contract, allow zoning for a data center, and many other things that impact your community. Depending on your state local reps may be elected in the June primary and/or the November election. Please look at your sample ballot on your states Secretary of State website or go to vote411 to see who’s on your ballot.

    I still can’t get over the fact that, in my party, the idea that someone might not have voted because of a genocide generates more anger and resentment than the party leaders being openly complicit in a genocide does.

    I already give any democrat a free ‘harm reduction’ vote so I’ll be damned if they’re going to guilt trip me for being pro-Palestine and anti-genocide on top of it,

    Hey Godric, you stupid fuck, who just came out against trans people specifically, and are running as a D?

    Oh yeah This fucking cunt .

    Go fuck yourself and your constant attempts at punching left rather than right.

    Dems have, and will always be, spineless shitheels who do nothing but shield fascism.

    Eat my entire asshole, fuckface.

    Maybe don’t use an issue where the Blue capitalist lap dogs are moving closer to the position of the Red capitalist lap dogs every day to illustrate your ridiculous point that the Blue capitalist lap dogs are somehow preferable?

    Maybe try immigration!

    the funny part about this ‘blue no matter who’ post is that it is specifically about trans people and all of the comments are about tankies. either way, you’re expected to vote for gavin newsom, right?
