The oligarchy is assuming Final Form.

no

it's only fair

That is the precise sum and substance of this video.

Does working as an auto mechanic at a luxury car dealer count?

I'll allow it.

Yeah, you morons!

Make sure to lump the Inner Party in with that accusation, Bort.

SERVES US RIGHT FOR DRESSING ALL PROVOCATIVE AMIRITE?

No O_Z you are wrong. On Election Day, the people get to decide who will run the country. Only 28% of eligible voters voted for Hillary, and in this place I'd say it was probably half that. Everyone else was willing to chance a Trump presidency.

If you don't understand that voting matters and elections have consequences, perhaps you should live in a country run by a tyrant. Though the way things are going, it might not even require moving.

"On Election Day, the people get to decide who will run the country."



Man, I wish I'd spent the last 40 years living in the world where this is even vaguely accurate.

And that's leaving aside the vast, complex sociopolitical context including segregationist zoning practices, the decades long process of gutting public education that has left us with multiple generations of people who haven't recieved any meaningful education in civics, the effects of OMFG ECONOMIC ANXIETY which is actually a real thing as much as you like to pretend it isn't, more subtle forms of racism than the on-the-sleeve variety that a lot of Trump's base exhibits, gerrymandering, straight up voter suppression, the technologically driven breakdown of consensus reality, the effects of foreign, domestic and corporate propaganda from Russian funded Facebook ads to Bannon & Co. bamboozling the press to the point where even a lot of left leaning media sources were credulously popularizing literal white supremacist talking points in the years leading up to 2016, pervasive classism, sexism and racism among Liberal elites (the GOP certainly has the biggest markt share here but they don't have it cornered), the corporate appropriation of the language and superficial trappings of social justice movements and discredited them by turning them into marketing tools, the effects of social media on public discourse, and on and on and on.

And yes, that includes people who voted for Jill Stein.

The thing is, you consistently ignore every factor that doesn't fit your personal narrative, and as far as I've been able to tell from your posts here that narrative is entirely designed to externalize any and all culpability for the way things turned out last year.

One day soon now, these kinds of conversations, and conversations the alt-reich and reich-left are having every day will look like this...

"504 error"

So it's not all bad!

Hmmm, Bort sure does hate Stein and Sanders.

WHAT'S THE (((CONNECTION)))?????

Bernie would have won, and yes, the DNC DID tip the scales against him.

Fuck you Bort, you're everything that's wrong with libshits.

"And that's leaving aside the vast, complex sociopolitical context including"

tl/dr You stupid fuckers didn't vote for the only candidate capable of stopping Trump. Be adult enough to take responsibility for your choices.

Now, now, Bort has a point. I myself deeply regret not voting for the candidate who could have beaten Trump. I voted for Hillary.

Bort, you're better than your suggestion here that 'we' didn't vote for Clinton. Many of us did.

Maybe if the people you've chatted with here for years are trying to tell you that you're wrong about part of how you look at the Dems, maybe we're not dogpiling, and maybe you should think about changing part of your point of view on the Dems?

Hillary's a retarded cunt and I had no intention of voting for her UNTIL it became her vs trump. I didn't write in Bernie because as satisfying as that might feel for 20 minutes after doing it the ultimate goal is to prevent disaster - this is the case for every single election.

We didn't prevent it this time.

You're still a dumbass if you were a hillary supporter from the start when she and bernie were both in the race.

The 2020 election really should put the "Bernie would have won" myth to rest.

If "defund the police" mobilized enough conservatives to vote in record numbers, imagine their poll turnout if Bernie had ran.

If Biden managed to get 7 million more votes than Trump's record turnout, it should probably prove they don't need the impossible to please purity pity party of #NoOneButBernie. And gosh golly, turns out it DOES pay off to appeal to suburban moderates which ended up being the demographic that sunk Trump.

and thanks for all the fish

It's "sock it to me" in the digital age, basically.

What an ajit-prop thing to say!

I needed a word exactly like "ajitpai", only a few hours ago.

"Coming up after Gameo f Thrones, LITTLE BIG LIES"

gulp

It was over 100K dislikes last time I checked. Ajit Fail
