You want people to push for progressivism by... doing nothing.
Congratulations. You're a slactivist. This is why people in the democratic party refuse to take progressives seriously.
You don't get 100% of what you want, you huff your little noses, and take your ball and go home. Then you have the gall to snipe from the sidelines when you have no skin in the game.
People that act this way are just as guilty of our current situation as trump supporters.
I just skim stories and catch a general idea of what's going on for this reason.
'Is this something I can actionably do something about? No? Then don't worry about it.'
Yep. Israel pushed disinfo, Russia pushed disinfo, and the republicans all pushed the same shit, and people bought it hook, line, and sinker.
You're good man I'm having a vent fest about it too, haha.
It's just frustrating. It's usually people from privilege who do this, then they spread this shit and other people fucking buy it.
It's infuriating.
Broooo I know it's like... Fuck dude you need smacked across the mouth for talking like that.
How fucking lazy some of these people are, you know?
Exactly. I'm very liberal, but I'm also a pragmatist. If we get half of the shit we want, lets fucking go. The idea that every single promise Biden had given that wasn't fulfilled was a reason to sit out was fucking stupid. The biggest one was student loan forgiveness. He did something, and the fucking republicans played lawfare to stop it and even then he still forgave almost a quarter of a billion dollars in loan debt.
Like...
How fucking entitled, and spoiled are you, that you let perfect be the enemy of good? Get out of your privileged bubble, and actually pull the fucking dog sled with everyone, instead of standing off to the side preaching about how you'd do it better.
Oh I fully believe this. There is no progressive news sources in the US.
I voted for Clinton and Harris enthusiastically. Are they perfect candidates? No. No candidate is perfect, and that's the problem with online leftists. Seemingly, they will only get off the couch when they have 100% of what they want. This is also why the party doesn't court leftists in this country. Because even if they give them 80% of what they want, that 20% will keep them on the internet complaining they're not getting that 20.
That's not true at all. Online liberals would have found some other thing to crucify Harris over. The idea that some of you guys didn't support a candidate because of the actions of a foreign government, is simply baffling to me.
He never looked unbeatable. The US news refused to do any due diligence on his plans. Literally every major economist (or something like that) endorsed Harris.
Once again, the news media refuses to take responsibility for the fucking mess they helped create.
Almost like these people should have voted for Harris then or some shit. Who would have known, right? 🙄
Precisely.
