    I was saying that the press is admitting that it’s a genocide now that the president is a republican. Of course you know this, but you’re dishonest.

    I literally called you out as an accelerationist. Or have you forgotten what that word means already? Perhaps your memory is going the route of Trump’s.

    After all, you’re calling me a fascist for being to your left on genocide. And cancer, evidently.

    You supported the election of Trump. You are far to the right of me on the ongoing Israeli genocide, not to mention the ongoing Ukrainian genocide.

    Very telling that you can’t answer how the Dems were “getting worse”, though, typical of the quality of shit you shovel.

    Tell me more about how Dems in 2024 were worse than they were in 2000, 2004, 2008, 2012, 2016, and 2020. Please. Go ahead. Say something that isn’t a regurgitation of alt-right talking points fed to gullible performative leftists like you who don’t give a single solitary fuck about the lives of marginalized groups.

      I literally called you out as an accelerationist.

      And a fascist and anything you thought would stick.

      You supported the election of Trump.

      I did not. You assume that about anyone who has any criticism at all of biden before he got cancer and joined your lengthy shit list.

      in 2009, they were actually willing to pass a minimum wage increase and at least pretended to pursue a public option. Something they haven’t done since.

        And a fascist and anything you thought would stick.

        So now that you acknowledge that you’ve been called an accelerationist in the past, are you just pretending to not remember what an accelerationist is?

        I did not.

        lmao

        I suppose that would require some small amount of introspection for you to realize, and that’s too horrible for you to contemplate.

        in 2009, they were actually willing to pass a minimum wage increase

        … would you like to remind me what the Harris platform was on the minimum wage? Go on. Remind us all.

        and at least pretended to pursue a public option. Something they haven’t done since.

        Both Clinton and Biden supported a public option. But hey, anything to spread misinformation in service to suppressing liberal turnout, right? You have fascists that you want to win.

          I’m saying that you will say anything to demonize your left and only your left.

          … would you like to remind me what the Harris platform was on the minimum wage? Go on. Remind us all.

          And now you’re trying to pivot from the actions of democrats to the campaign promises of one democrat.

          Both Clinton and Biden supported a public option.

          And biden promised to pursue it when in office. Then didn’t. It was a lie.

            Fascists aren’t to my left, and neither are their supporters.

            And now you’re trying to pivot from the actions of democrats to the campaign promises of one democrat.

            Okay, would you like to remind me what the Dem party platform in 2024 was on the minimum wage? Go on. Remind us all.

            And biden promised to pursue it when in office. Then didn’t. It was a lie.

            Jesus fucking Christ.

              You scream “fascist” at anyone to your left.

              A lie, same as it was in 2020.

                You scream “fascist” at anyone to your left.

                No, I accuse people who materially contribute to the victory of fascists as being fascist supporters, which they are. Sorry that’s too complex for you to parse.

                A lie, same as it was in 2020.

                Oh, okay, so it doesn’t actually matter what left positions the Dems ran on, you’d just assert that it was all lies anyway.

                What a surprise. This is my shocked face.

                  And by an astounding coincidence, you identify anyone to your left as “materially contributing to the victory of fascists.”

                  I mean, I’m not the one who promised to revisit the public option and then didn’t.

                  This has become a slapfight. I’m out.

                    lmao

                    Believe it or not, you and the rest of the “Sink the Dems at any cost” brigade are not the entirety of the left. Shocking, I know.

                    I mean, I’m not the one who promised to revisit the public option and then didn’t.

                    Wow, why didn’t the Dems use their 50-50 ‘majority’ to pass a deeply contentious bill that would have been unable to get all 50 Dems onboard regardless of the compromises involved, yet would need a 60-40 majority to pass???

                    Of course, if they’d tried, you would have condemned them for trying and wasting time on a meaningless gesture (which would be true) instead of doing real work.

                    The only thing you care about is making sure “the LIBS” lose and the fascists win. Because if the fascists are in power, you feel heroic when you roleplay as a leftist. The blood of minorities makes for great cosplay makeup, it would seem.
