Yeah if we all hate the fascists but then condemn the Democrats, we will have the numbers and the shear power to accomplish nothing….

Seriously, if you don’t like the Democrats then fucking vote for Democrats who will steer the party left. That’s what the neo-cons, tea party, maga did to change the Republican Party (and change it they did).

This notion of a progressive third party is just a waste of time by self-absorbed clique-ish people who fancy themselves too good for “the mainstream”. Grow the fuck up and work with your fellow country-persons instead of this weird romantic fantasy of third party revolution by the superior left…

I look forward to your scathing responses and down arrows. Just know that the fascists don’t care what you think because in all likelihood, that down arrow is the most you are willing to actually do….

Thank you!

Yeah. Very well said. To add, take note of how the candidates they were screaming at us to vote for have disappeared into a cloud of irrelevance.

They’ve entirely abandoned their little handful of supporters.

But don’t worry 3rd Party’ers, they will be back in 2028 to promise a heck of a lot more fun and games for all! Boy howdy!

not american but wondering which good politicians you have

Summer Lee in the democrats seems awesome

Im convinced posts like this are pro trump propaganda

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 16 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

It is possible, and encouraged, to call your party out on their bullshit. Criticism is a very important tool in democracy.

[–] krashmo@lemmy.world 14 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

Did you miss the whole debacle of "we'll never cave without ACA subsidies being extended" immediately preceding caving without extended ACA subsidies? That's far from the only example of such behavior. In fact, I'd say the only anamoly in that situation was the strong stance Dems took before reverting to their usual cowardly selves.

All I see is that you guys complain that democrats don’t fight back against trump and the moment one does, you guys tear them down and shit on them. I see Trump being a dictator and you guys still blaming democrats, the Dems you refused to vote for. All I saw was you guys demand the old white man step down, and the moment you saw him replaced with a black woman you all went “eeew I rather have trump” And these posts just say “I still prefer trump”

[–] krashmo@lemmy.world 5 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

The people you're talking about in this post are all different people with different points of view. You're the only one combining them into a single nebulous idea of a person.

[–] But_my_mom_says_im_cool@lemmy.world 5 points 8 hours ago

Im ok with combining all Americans into a single nebulous moron, i accept that

[–] Rhoeri@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

Spot-fucking-on!

[–] nymnympseudonym@piefed.social 3 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

TBF... it's looking like there will in fact be a vote to extend, which will likely pass thanks to some R that are not fully MAGA

[–] TheFogan@programming.dev 2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

am I missing this article, last I heard, trump was talking about extending the cuts... followed by Mike Johnson saying no we aren't interested in that at all.

Which then I guess further follows up the question, does Mike Johnson even need to bring it up to a vote at all? Like hypothetically even if they whip the votes and get 10 republicans to defect... would anything actually force johnson to bring it to a vote at all?

My gift, fellow Fedizen

Once Foes of Obamacare, Some Republicans Push to Protect It Nov. 25, 2025

A small cadre of politically vulnerable Republicans in Congress is breaking with the party to push for the extension of health care tax credits for a program the G.O.P. reviles.

[–] Rhoeri@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

Yeah. Same. We saw a lot of this during the election. MAGAbots were posting like crazy!

[–] Rhoeri@lemmy.world 11 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago) (1 children)

Yeah… they suck… but-

They’re visible. Which is better than what any third party “candidate” has been doing. Speaking of, what’s Mr. West and Mrs. Stein been up to since November?

I guess all those important issues only mattered if they got elected.

[–] Endymion_Mallorn@kbin.melroy.org 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

That's a fair point about the minor parties. Then again, I have seen Libertarians try to do valuable things at the local or state level in various places. I've never seen a Green Party candidate for school board or city council.

[–] Rhoeri@lemmy.world 5 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (1 children)

Nope. I haven’t either. Last I heard, Stein was cashing in on a few dinner speeches.

What’s funny though? We tried to warn all the freshmen that this has been done before by the exact same clowns in the exact same makeup in elections past…

They were too busy calling us names to bother listening. And apparently, now- they expect us to kiss their asses while we work with them on their grassroots movement bullshit to bail us out of the problems they wouldn’t even do the bare minimum to help stop.

I made the mistake of voting for her in 2016, before I realized that Nader didn't really retire. He left in disgust at what the party became. Granted, I live in NJ, so my vote basically meant nothing, but it's still a mistake.

That was before Stein's theatrics about the debates, too. How anyone could seriously support her after that confounds me.

[–] Rhoeri@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

All it took was a movement they could all anger each other with. That’s all it takes every election. It’s something that gives them all a reason to be manipulated.

The right’s best tactic is dividing the left. They’d never win against a unified front.

Lucky for them there won’t ever be one. These clowns are already warming up their pitchforks and templating their “I won’t vote for [bLuEMaGA cAnDiDaTE]” memes. Hell, a lot of them are calling AOC a centrist. LMAO!

Officials are actively going against MAGA, esp. ICE, right now. It's not all just tweets. But Trump won twice with the help of social media; other parties embrace it, too. Hopefully in a better way (and I'm not sure Gavin Newsom's is it).

My favorite scathing TMBG snippet:

Where your eyes don't go a filthy scarecrow waves its broomstick arms
And does a parody of each unconscious thing you do
When you turn around to look it's gone behind you
On its face it's wearing your confused expression
Where your eyes don't go

Where your eyes don't go a part of you is hovering
It's a nightmare that you'll never be discovering

[–] nulluser@lemmy.world 5 points 10 hours ago

Sadly, DNC leaderships VCRs are still flashing 12:00, so it's unlikely they'll ever see stuff like this. The interwebs are a dog gone mystery to them.

"Don't, don't, don't let's start

This is the worst part

Could believe for all the world

That you're my precious little girl

But don't, don't, don't let's start

I've got a weak heart

And I don't get around how you get around"

[–] nymnympseudonym@piefed.social 4 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

came here for the TMBG

🎵 We die alone
We die afraid
We live in terror
We're naked and alone
And the grave is the lonliest place🎶

They’re still doing more than the progressives.

It might suck to hear that about your team but it’s true.

K eep

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

I like what you did there.

For what it's worth I am happy you're not taking me too seriously right now. Been a long thanksgiving weekend with family for this American. You don't deserve the blowback from that just becuase I dont agree so I am sorry, how ever feel free to keep that little wordplay in your back pocket, it does come in handy.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 3 points 8 hours ago

It won’t and it’s not clever but I do enjoy it.

Have a great thanksgiving!
