None of that will help materially or capture the attention of the tiktok generation. Protests, shouting and cursing in the chamber could work though.

At least we’ve moved away from “I’m a proudly stupid voter” to “unfortunately, we have to cater to the stupid ones”. That’s progress. I can work with that.

Nah. That one quote is nice, but in general his philosophy on war was “kill everyone and destroy everything in front of you without reservation, and enjoy yourself while doing it”.

I’m not going to argue about any of that because even in the worst case where all of that is true it’s still ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE BETTER THAN TRUMP.

All you’ve done is shown that messaging matters.

So, first off: calling out someone for repeatedly doing the same thing that isn’t solving the problem doesn’t require having a better answer.

Fuck that shit. Tankie bastards are always criticizing Democrats but offering no alternatives. We should be demanding solutions purely as a shibboleth to weed out propagandists and their useful idiots.

Refuse to follow the rules of order Stop pretending that being civilized is getting them anywhere

Can you elaborate? This is pretty vague.

You “hey what should we do?”

Me “here are some options”

You “I don’t like em”

Me “those are really the only options”

You “no bring me more, also you are stupid”

Yeah I’m just gonna report you for trolling at this point.

I’ve had a bunch of curse words in there for months but they refuse to show up in swiping or predictive text

You’d rather have Trump than not-Trump?

We’re at the point where people would rather see Trump dismantle the entire federal government

Terminal stupidity.

Republicans come in and break the government, blame Democrats, and you stupid motherfuckers fall for it.

The system itself is only able to give you two options. It’s not an evil conspiracy, it’s a Prisoner’s Dilemma. If Democratic states, and Democratic states alone, eliminated first-past-the-post…we would be under permanent Republican rule. It’s political suicide.

Nonsensical. Circular reasoning. Why did Harris fail? Because she didn’t meet the low bar. How didn’t she meet the low bar? Because she failed.

Again, blame liberals for the atrocities of Republicans. Why is the bar in hell? Because Republicans have dragged us down there.

“We must act with vindictive earnestness against the Sioux, even to their extermination, men, women and children.”

This whole “avoid the censor by using euphemisms” thing that gen Z does is fucking annoying. Stop. Don’t use any platform that is censoring you.

Don’t forget, you’re subject to the same content manipulation here. Mods of many communities are biased if not outright propagandists. The echo chamber is very real. It just isn’t as centralized due to the nature of the technology.

Try the Civil War

They’ll just be told that Democrats, immigrants, and trans people are causing the hardship.

There is a tipping point when MAGA followers are forced into situations where they must rely on their neighbour and mutual aid.

By the time we reach that point, there won’t be an aisle. There won’t be a government.
