  • Bernie Fucking Sanders in 2020, and in my state at least, in 2018 it was Beto O’Rourke. Bernie was not unelectable but was cheated by the Democratic neoliberal establishment despite a comfortable majority of voter support, as you will recall. Beto was a victim of a concerted misinformation propaganda campaign by his competitor, and an incompetent pr campaign by his own staff.

    How are you gonna tell everyone "Yes, I know the neoliberals keep encouraging fascism, but if you just vote for them, fucking again, then next time, for realzies we can get the person who we actually want, is willing and able to fix things. address this contradiction, please.

    I note how you threw in corporate money right next to conspiracy views as if to equivalate the two. Also, as it turns out, there really was dark pedophile cabal, so.

    hey in 2026 and 2028, feel free to vote for whoever you want! but this time, it’s too important to give up your vote for the neoliberal enabling fascism, you might get the fascist in office if you do that.

    hey in 2022 and 2024, feel free to vote for whoever you want! but this time it’s too important…

    hey in 2018 and 2020, feel free to vote for whoever you want! but this time…

    ad nauseum

    you are ignoring the gaping contradiction in your argument. it isnt necessary to catch the subtle nuances of an argument that follow from a flawed premise. dont tell me “we gotta vote even harder” doesnt follow from anything said before, i will agree.

    “we need to encourage fascism with neoliberalism just a liiiitle while longer, then we totally got this bro” yeah youre right im missing it
