It means fuck all if Democrats mobilize because we voted them out of majority. Congress needs to move to stop Trump, right now Dems only have power to stop Congress.

Also the Neolibs are currently getting exactly what they want so don't expect them to do anything to stop their conservative friends

Oh look a "both-sides-bad" centrist. Hey, thanks for helping to elect a fascist, really opening peoples eyes about the corruption by actively putting the corruption in power.

Someone doesn't know what punching from the left looks like and mistakes it for centrism.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world -3 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

If we want to be consequentialist about it then the punching from the left is just Fascism.

Buddy, pal, friend. The quote isn't "first they came for the liberal". It's "first they came for the communist"

Oh Womp Womp the fascists are such victims in all of this. If you don't want to be come for then stop helping elect people like Donald Trump.

I'm not sure what you are even talking about anymore. You are operating on layers of assumptions that makes communication very hard. Would you mind backing it up and trying again?

I keep seeing people say stuff like this, but are you seeing the good guys do anything? The article itself said that they're now getting together to discuss how they can start stopping the bad guys. So one begs to ask the question, what have they been doing thus far?

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I would be seeing the good guys do things if people actually fucking voted them into a supermajority. I've seen the good guys do things for over 20 years, I have loved ones who would be dead or suffering without the necessary services paid for by the good guys, I read the Kamala Harris plan to tax the rich, I have 100% faith in the good guys.

The fact that you think the bad guys are acceptable in the first place would be baffling, but I know for a fact most of you bad actors are just enemies of the USA and all their people trying to push us in the wrong direction on purpose.

[–] TsarVul@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

The bad guys did a sufficient job of dismantling your joke of a democracy while the good guys had the presidency. I'm not saying that they're the exact same, hence why I'm differentiating between good and bad. Obviously the good guys give more of a shit about the lives of the populus. I'm just making the observation that the good guys don't seem all that broken up about losing.
