And I can tell you you will continue to support the increasingly right wing Democrats, and in 20 years, if Leftists save the world, you'll look back on your right-wing support with disgust.

They move right when they lose. So that they can win again.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If they move right, you'll still support that until the end of the world. You would vote for Hitler if Hitler+ was the opponent, instead of lifting a finger against the system.

Well, unlike you, I can tell the difference between Hitler and the democratic party. You're so full of false equivalence.

If they move left, you'll still not vote for them because you're too pure to compromise and you will forever throw your supposedly leftist ideals on the dustbin of throwing what tiny tiny tiny power you have away and convincing anyone that shares your views to do the same.

Where is the red line for you to stop supporting the increasingly right-wing Democrats? It certainly isn't genocide, you're voting for that this time around, so is there a meaningful point of no return? If not, you would vote for Hitler.

I have been advocating for revolution this entire thread. I am advocating for people to stop supporting the genocidal US Empire and do something other than legitimizing the US Terrorist State.

Like I said, you're an accelerationist who wants it to get as bad as possible as far as possible because you think revolution will come sooner that way, and you don't care how bad the world gets in the meanwhile.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I haven't said anything of the sort, you just make up whatever strawman stances you want to attack because it's more convenient for you than confronting the fact that you support genocide.

[–] davidagain@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I agree that you didn't admit it.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You didn't admit to being a genocide enthusiast either, but more than anything your "lesser evil" rhetoric shows that you'd goosestep with the Democrats right into Hell.

Your greater evil rhetoric puts the actual fascists in charge of America. Did you read project 2025 yet? Or even a summary?

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Of course I have, I go for the "no evil" option and implore you to do so as well.

[–] davidagain@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The fascists winning doesn't trouble you at all, though, which is weird for a leftist, no? I smell republicans in disguise.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Of course the dems or reps winning is troubling for me, the fact that you want the dems to win is troubling. We have established that you're far-right though, which is par for the course I suppose.
