I voted for Booker but only because I bet someone like 5 years ago he'd become president and I want my $200

Solvent, I don't expect white people to give up anything. That's why I'm occasionally pleasantly surprised, but never disappointed. White people want to hold on to their privilege with an iron fist. Which is exactly the problem???

You motherfuckers have gone through the Irony Singularity and come out the other side with this bullshit. I can't even call this Galaxy Brain anymore. Trump's brainworms are clearly contagious.

There is also a huge amount of privilege thrown in a lot of those posts holy moly

Especially dude from MI who said he'd happily throw his vote away and let Trump win, as if that's going to teach anyone a lesson.

My people fought and died for the right to vote for people who didn't give a gently caress about us. There's a very strong part of me that just wants to be like "Poor thing, you don't like voting for the lesser of two evils? We've been doing it for nearly a century so put on your big boy pants and make sure the worse guy doesn't win and remember we're still going to get hosed more than you"

But that's the point. They can afford the protest vote or to stay home. Some people can't.

And you shouted them all down and they've left. That's how a forum works. Warren or Harris will make the news again and you'll shout down their supporters again and the thread will be in agreement again.

without a leftist like williamson or bernie in 2020, we will only get a fascist-lite president like warren or full-on fascist president like biden or harris. And that only sets us up for a competent fascist in 2024.

Sounds like you should support Bernie instead tbh

What kind of reparations though? Are they generational? Her Artpop could mean anything.

The supposed Warren and Harris supporters on this forum are largely mythical. We don't have Warren "supporters" here, we just have bernie-or-busters and then a (shrinking) group of people willing to discuss second choice options and/or trying to discuss the practicalities of who might win rather than the moralities of who should. I have yet to see anyone actually post "I think Harris should win" just a few tentative steps towards "I fear Harris might win" which usually get shouted down.

I agree to a certain length with “Vote Blue No Matter Who”. There’s just two problems that that kind of thinking can lead to.

One, it can lead to a serious level of uncritical thinking towards the primary candidates. I see it on message boards when a negative Biden article pops up. “Hey, a cheese sandwich would be better than Trump. I’ll support whoever isn’t Trump in the general.” The problem is that the entire field of Dem candidates are “not Trump”, so focus your efforts on picking the best one and really examine their pros and cons.

Two, it can lead to apathy. “We did it! Trump lost! Now I can go back to not thinking about politics. See you in four years!” Even If Bernie or Warren won the general, we all need to keep fighting and not slack when it comes to this poo poo.

I’m ok with “Vote Blue No Matter Who” as long as we don’t fall into the traps I stated above.

This is exactly how I feel tbh

Cerebral Bore posted:

Well, that's fair, but the problem is that the status quo is literally unsustainable. This naturally will lead to people not caring if they're presented with two choices that won't actually fix things, because if you're hosed either way, then why bother? Regardless of the morality of it all, this is what is happening and will continue to happen unless an avenue for fixing poo poo presents itself.

That's one of those lazy thought traps though. Again, black folks have been voting for yts who don't really care about us since we've been allowed to vote, that doesn't mean we stop trying to make things better or advocate for better people. Never stop fighting.
