While Education and Organizing is building the parts for a new engine the rest of the year.

    Not my people, quite the opposite, although I respect them.

    They’re just the people who are actually putting in the work. Unlike your people who’s idea of effort is wiping the Cheeto dust off their fingers before they post.

    But don’t worry, just keep screaming impotently into the void. I’m sure progressive candidates with strong organizations will start magically appearing any day now if you just keep posting hard enough on Lemmy. No need to get off your couch.

      Yeah I’m definitely going to lend my manpower to people who shriek about anybody left of Biden eating cheetos and upholding the dnc as the saviors of “democracy” after telling the nominee to eat shit then telling their voters to eat shit and watching Biden sidestep congress to fund genocide.

      Whatevs bro, enjoy your righteousness and we’ll just see ya after the downfall. 🤷

        Are you illiterate? I started this saying not only am I left of Biden, I’m left of Bernie. I’m not taking about leftists. I’m taking about “leftists” who do nothing but whine then show up once every four years to loudly complain things didn’t go their way when they didn’t lift a Cheeto stained finger (outside of online echo chambers) to make things go their way.

        This weekend I’ll be canvassing with three other people for a progressive candidate for local office. Her establishment opponent has over two dozen canvassers. When the voting guides are printed maybe we’ll be lucky enough to have ours listed as neutral with an endorsement for the establishment.

        If you lazy fucks showed up maybe we could get parity on name recognition, and if you had been at meetings all year maybe both could be endorsed on the guide. A quarter of the Bernie Bros that showed up yelling in 2016 coming back regularly would drastically change the entire county.

        When those fair weather friends showed up in 2016, I wasn’t saying “eat shit leftists,” I was saying “where the fuck have you been.”

        Now that I think about it, you shouldn’t show up. If you’re so weak and thin-skinned that a Cheeto crack gets you all butt-hurt, you wouldn’t last five doors canvassing.

          So you admit it - People showed up, you talked shit, so they left. That’s how it works. Again, why should I help you if when I DO show up you just show me EXACTLY how unwanted I am? YOU’RE the problem, and when Trump wins you only have YOURSELF to blame.

          But go off King about Schrodinger’s Leftists and how we’re simultaneously stupid cheeto stained babies but also the single cause of every Republican win.

            Fuck, are you really this dense? No one actually said that to them, even if we wanted to we couldn’t get a word in edgewise. That’s what we were thinking though. If they showed up to help instead of yell they would have been welcomed.

            And, yes, your weak-ass is unwanted. And you are “simultaneously stupid cheeto stained babies but also the single cause of every Republican win.” You’re one because you’re the other, they are not mutually exclusive.
