The number of leftists saying they’ve lost the election due to recent events is disappointing. Getting out and voting is all they have to do.
That’s not the game. The game is persuading about 100,000 of America’s most politically ignorant and disengaged adults across about 6 states.
The Democrats getting a massive hard-on for their civility fetish and conceding the debate to Trump and the fascists for the foreseeable future is the problem.
But gosh. Sure Trump wants to take away my rights, but Biden is like old. I don’t know what to do?
Like many others I would vote for Biden’s animated corpse over Trump, but I’m not a mythical “undecided voter”

They exist, sadly.
They’re awful. Or, at least, awful citizens. The problem is that the Dem party thinks they’re “In the middle”, but though some might THINK of themselves that way, that’s not what they really are. They’re people who vote on vibes. When the Dems move policy right, it doesn’t ACTUALLY sway most of them. They don’t have real policy positions, and they’re quick to endorse contradictory positions as simple ‘common sense’. One might think this level of ignorance would lend itself to GOP partisanship, and probably it does in many cases, but I have unfortunately known pretty indisputably non-GOP voters who have this same poor civic education.
Yes, perhaps “legendary” or “elusive” would be a better word choice.
SNL pretty much nails it: https://youtu.be/KAG37Kw1-aw?si=0a6O4mCCtLTv7ium
I think such voters don’t have a theory of power, just some “vibes” based on minimal news consumption, so they change with the wind.
Seriously, if we just call them stupid enough times, it’s for sure going to convince swing-state voters to support our candidate. Maybe use a more patronizing tone next time

We really don’t learn. At some point, we have to accept we’re the stupid ones if we fail to learn anything from 2016. Then again, we are American, so it definitely tracks. lol
All that said, sorry if that was just a joke, and not meant for anyone but other people already making fun of voters voting against their own interests
40 million people didn’t vote at all last time. If they don’t want to elect a dictatorship perhaps they might turn up and vote.
In a sense, it is the easiest problem to solve. Trump could be dog food in November with one simple trick -Voting.
IF we assume that:
-
That group reliably breaks against Trump at a higher percentage than the statewide average in their state AND
-
Those people even live in close enough states to make a difference AND
-
Those people can even be convinced to turn out given the horseshit candidates available
-
i think that macron and starmer towing american hegemony and mitigating leftists election victories is a bigger indication of where things are going whether or not the recent events end up work in our favor.
Agreed, corporate run centrists and establishment neoliberals act as stop gaps preventing the leftwing promises of democracy and enlightenment era leftist politics from being truely fulfilled, by instead deferring to the profit driven whims of wealthy internationalists and Capitalists, which undermine national interests whilst appearing to support national interests.
It’s ugly and incompetent. If I’m to be honest, it’s a national health and security issue too. But people act like you’re speaking gibberish or saying something controversial when you point it out because of the hegemonic conditioning of Capitalism and its economic falsehoods.
said just as well as theory as it seems to have been copied and pasted from. lol
No, I wrote that, it wasn’t that difficult.

I know the first two flags. Which one is on top?
Patriot Front, an American neonazi group
Ah okay, I am not up to date with my Nazi groups, let alone their flags.
BEAT 'EM*
Why is the top most flag not the standard US flag?
The federal government itself certainly took on the first two fights.
I don’t get the hate against the South, which lost the war. Some american have to explain it to me, cause if they won the war why still be mad about it?
The South fought for the explicit purpose of preserving racial chattel slavery. That’s bad.
They’ve been spreading myths to make themselves look better and justify racism against others ever since. That’s also bad.
Thanks for the reasonable answer. I still don’t understand why I get downvotes. Some kind of taboo topic?
Well, a big problem in the modern US, and one of the reasons Shermanposting exists, is because a lot of Americans with… unpleasant views… try to push the narrative that the South “wasn’t that bad” or was “just fighting for States’ rights” or “1 DIXIE BOY = 100 YANKEES” or “Slaves actually benefited from slavery”.
The downvoters probably assumed you were one of them playing innocent instead of a genuine newcomer to the topic.
