    Ahh yes just like how voting for Obama made sure the US didn’t continue its slide into fascism.

    Also don’t blame the voters for not supporting genocide, blame the politician for supporting genocide.

      The voters who sat out didn’t just support genocide, they super charged it. Anyone with a smidgen of understanding was screaming that trump would be significantly worse, but to spoiled Americans who are unaffected, those lives are a small price to pay to own the libs.

        be real with me, where’s the /c/meanwhileinleft address. There’s 0 ways your account pulled this anarchist meme in your feed.

          Lol, the confusion absolutely tracks.

          Part of being well informed and having a reasonable understanding of the world is to read and engage with things, perspectives and people with which you do not always agree.

          Strongly recommend!

            While I absolutely agree that “engage with things, perspectives and people with which you do not always agree” is “part of being well informed and having a reasonable understanding of the world,” you didn’t answer my immediate question:

            How did you retrieve this post?

              As part of my subscriptions.

              Edit: I’m a little confused. If you actually believe in the above, then why on Earth is this subscription in any way surprising?

                Generally, folks that subscribe to this /c/ do so to agitprop memes they’ll share elsewhere, not entertain neoliberal apologia. It’s surprising to me libs would actually go out of their way libgitate anarchist /c/s.

                It’s a trend I am seeing.

                  It’s the fediverse, lots of folks subscribe to lots of stuff. It’s a pretty small place so I generally do a round of seeing what’s on in my subscriptions, then hot/scaled all to find interesting new places.

                  Maybe we do need some sort of “this community prefers echo chamber” flag for communities where engagement of only one kind is desired, I dunno.

                  Cheers.

        If you wanted your candidate to get more votes they shouldn’t have been so unpopular. Not anyone’s fault Kamala supported genocide and lost because of it but hers. If she wanted to win she could have done the incredibly easy thing and not supported genocide.

        Your anger and blame should be placed on your leaders for failing you and not some nobodies you can’t even name. Your failure to recognize this is why they keep doing it too.
