These people always appealing to harm reduction and yet I've never seen a decrease in harm, even when they get what they want.

Even if you tease out the liberals from the democratic party, when has the dems ever delivered on a single thing they claim to support? Liberals are reprehensible and vile but the fact they support a party that obviously fails to represent them in any way is insane to me. Either the libs don't believe what they claim to and the democrats are doing their bidding in which case they should be written off as scum or they continue to support the democrats despite them ignoring their wishes in which case they should be written off as too stupid to live. In either case, gently caress liberals.

The party does represent them, because what the liberals care about is "a certain cultural presentation of intelligence." The only thing they truly believe in is "the concept of competent cosmopolitan professionals running things." I say "the concept" because obviously this doesn't match reality, but something as simple as "having a woman with a 'neutral' accent announcing things" basically gives them what they want.

Basically they're just scum, yeah. They don't actually believe anything of substance.

The libs in GBS told me Trump would nuke Palestine and the middle east while simultaneously extending the Israeli genocide to all LGBT, minority, and immigrant populations in the United States. So they have to vote for Biden’s (1) Genocide because that’s less genocides than Trump’s (5 to infinity) genocides. very simple moral math try to keep up

Why didn't he do all that his first term? Was he worried about getting reelected?

They embarked on a Middle East adventure, and their regime changes are considered to be victories.

The Peoples of Middle-earth posted:

But the other two Istari were sent for a different purpose. Morinehtar and Romestamo. Darkness-slayer and East-helper. Their task was to circumvent Sauron: to bring help to the few tribes of Men that had rebelled from Melkor-worship, to stir-up rebellion … and after his first fall to search out his hiding (in which they failed) and to cause dissension and disarray among the dark East … They must have had very great influence on the history of the Second Age and Third Age in weakening and disarraying the forces of the East … who would both in the Second and Third Age otherwise have … outnumbered the West.

that's to be expected from a regime that does nothing. do you expect them to erode slower or faster when there's a regime in power dedicated to doing something?

Ohio and other states sorta show that if there's an actual referendum abortion is popular, who knew? Dems are doing a coastal strategy where they have incentive to not codify abortion so they can keep using it as a soundbite. There's seemingly no other social issues they aren't in lockstep with Republicans

endorsing and enabling them for doing nothing supports the cyclical erosion of abortion rights as power is traded back and forth between parties, doing nothing is a definitive choice to lose in any competition where the other side always gets their turn to push for their victory

the democrat party repeatedly blocks any possibility of a real fight to undo said erosion, while funneling all the time, energy, and money of activism minded folks into an electoral dead end, because they remain as the only secondary option when doing nothing is treated as a valid political tactic

the dems truly are the accelerationist death cult party

Yeah, the correct framing of the Democrats isn't "they do nothing*" but instead "they actively work to prevent anyone else from doing anything." They have a very active and effective role and aren't just some neutral "harm reduction" choice.

* on abortion specifically, obviously they actively do a bunch of other terrible stuff

Honestly just watching how effectively the DNC and the other candidates routinely shut down candidates who were more willing to do good things for poor people was extremely awe inspiring and creepy at the same time. They're like a brotherhood of wicked magicians who want you to die.
