Yeah, but if the dems aren’t progressive enough I won’t bother to get up off my ass to vote to stop fascism. It’ll be the dems fault for not enticing me to vote.
Seriously asking, what is progressive enough? Would you vote for AOC? Is it a matter of FPTP support, or genocide, or strike solidarity?
Call me naive but I think Mamdani is the shape of things to come and we’re going to start seeing much better candidates.
Edit: Rather than be sarcastic, perhaps listen to a gosh darn thing the left is saying. (inb4 “they’re not leftists” circular argument) They weren’t asking for unreasonable stuff and strawmanning never wins anyone over. Be mad that you have to do better and then do better anyways.
So you’re not willing to do the bare fucking minimum to oppose the current administration, and want to blame other politicians instead of using the best tool we currently have in a democracy. Got it.
Sure, you’re not wrong. But I think the way the language is used makes it at least possible, and if you look at their other comments, it makes it clear.
Saying outright “it’s the democrats fault that I won’t get off my ass to stop fascism” just really smacks of satire.
It alone won’t be enough. Motherfuckers still need to vote in the midterms.

Edit: really? /s ffs
Guys like you are gonna be real popular in the gulag
I suspect that was sarcasm
A perfect example of no matter how obvious you think the sarcasm might be, the “/s” tag should be included.
Interpretation of that message changes wildly with and without the tag.

Makes you a rotten sack of shit.

Then them being misunderstood is on them. There’s nothing in that comment that shows they’re being sarcastic. Poe’s law
Using the word fascism was my clue.
Poe’s law, man. Fascists are here, that word has lost its hyperbolic nature.

Progressive > fascism > moderate democrat
Got it
