@katrinakatrinka @mastodonmigration
i blame nonvoters
the #DNC comes out against #Mamdani in the #primaries, people #vote anyways
the DNC comes out against Mamdani in the general, people vote anyways
that's how you do it
we can do that all across the #USA
who fucking cares about milquetoast dems
ah, but you do
because with that red herring, you can successfully suppress the vote and help the #GOP win by making it seem like nonvoters are virtuous
they are manipulated pieces of shit
@katrinakatrinka @mastodonmigration
the dems fucking suck on #israel
so we take over the #democrats from the #left
we can't do that with voices like yours suppressing the #vote, especially in the #primaries
nevermind the dems aren't as soft on israel as the GOP
from the #likud perspective that means getting their #trollfarm spouting "BoTh SiDeS tHe SaMe" easy psyop for cynics and perfectionists
#Netanyahu prefers the #Republicans. and look at you, suppressing the left vote
curious that
The Human CapybaraWorth reading just for the list of all the different factions on the left:
"Platner’s candidacy has become a kind of Rorschach test for every factional disagreement in the broad Democratic or center-left coalition."
As far as I'm concerned I just want to get rid of Susan Collins and the end justify the means.
That's how Republicans got to control everything but some on the left still don't get it.
