Yeah and all of the fuck law enforcement crowd (myself included) is gonna begrudgingly vote for her.
Yeah ACAB for life but I hate fascists more.
I'd take bastards over fascists any day.
Police is a fascist institution.
I hate to break it to you... but Harris is schooled in the nuts and bolts of fascism - unlike Trump, who is merely good at cosplaying as a fascist.
I'm not telling you not to vote for her - you don't really have a choice - but know that everything the libs do at this point is just going to empower the fascists more. It's been a positive feedback loop for a while now.
Try harder troll, your leader is a child rapist.
Liberal, try to think critically.
Has any of the Dems conveyed to you the plans they have of dealing with the whole "inexorable-slide-to-fascism" problem other than telling you to kick the can four years down the road?
I would kinda agree with you if Biden didn't step down. I was thinking Biden is running his campaign so bad that he must be controlled opposition in order to make Trump look better.
But now? Really? Kamala is going to bring us to fascism? She has people around her that would call her out. Trump doesn't. That's the problem.
FTFY. I guess that means you don't actually know what role fascism plays in maintaining the liberal order?
Oh, absolutely. It's part and parcel of Trump's generalized incompetence. Liberals want the POTUS to do what the US has always done - do fascism outside US borders. Fascists want the POTUS to do fascism inside US borders. Trump is too incompetent to do either. Harris is perfectly competent to do the former - ie, business as usual - which means more colonialism coming home to roost as fascism (as the leftists like to point out) which will find rapid utility protecting the rampant and unrestricted parasitism of runaway "free market" capitalism at the expense of the US working class.
A perfect feedback loop that is delivering predictable results.
ACAB. Nevertheless...
(A)ACAB?
To borrow from the mob boss Eddie Valentine at the end of Rocketeer
at least she has redeeming qualities, even in the law enforcement front. she supported budget cuts for LAPD for example.
And then the administration she was apart of had a massive increase in police funding, it's almost like politicians say whatever is convenient at the moment & do what benefits the power structures that they're connected to later.
funny how you were against Biden and now you're against Harris. it sounds like you just want republicans to win.
I'm against all of them.
Edit: I'm an anarchist & I became an anarchist because of my experience as an activist in electoral politics.
yeah everybody knows the best way to achieve anarchy is to let the fascist win. solid strat; keep going.
When did I fucking say that?
never. i don't think you're saying anything at all really. just talking without purpose.
"I don't think..."
Edit: Convincing yourself Harris is a good person isn't tactical voting.
the fuck are you even talking about
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategic_voting
i know what strategic voting is, genius. where did pretending anyone is a good person or whatever that fever dream of yours come from is what I'm asking
When you suggested that Harris wasn't being opportunistic during the largest & most sustained anti police protest in US history.
who gives a shit? i care what people do, not why. you go look into their hearts and judge them against a feather, and I'll look at what they do in their political careers.
That's the thing, saying isn't doing. Politicians constantly say things & don't follow through or they do it in a way that sounds good in headlines without making a subsistent difference & Harris has a history of doing fucked up things like denying trans prisoners affirming care, denying parol to hundred of prisoners who had volunteered to fight wild fires literally because she wanted to continue to use them, & the two different times Harris hid evidence that the person she was trying to get the death penalty for was innocent. ACAB applies to her just as much as any cop.
first of all, i don't give a shit if the alternative is fascism.
second of all, "saying isn't doing", her "doing" record is better than most democrats
Yes like a typical neo liberal you don't give a fuck about trans people or criminal justice reform.
lol yeah, i forgot the criminal justice reform and trans rights that will get implemented first day under a republican president.
