    You mean like the minorities that Kamala locked up in California . . . Or the ones being killed in Gaza?

    I’m fine with the mirror with voting for De La Cruz. I don’t think you are.

      Because as we can clearly see Trump did not in anyway act to increase the number incarcerated minorities or to speed up the genocide in Palestine

        So your answer is to vote for lots of crimes against minorities, as long as someone else does more?

          I like how by this statement you admit that there was a choice that was less crimes against minorities.

          Neat how that option doesn’t matter to you

            I like how you apparently don’t understand there’s more than one election over time, and so you’re demanding that you be recognized as moral (and those that disagree with your shit tactics as immoral) because you’re now set a permanent level of crimes against minorities. Which will continue to be increased each time you make this same bad choice.

            But yes dear, since it’s obvious like most liberals you’re only interested in your own self-image of morality, and not actual political power to stop the GOP, you’re the true holy one. I’m sure all the people at Liz Warren’s barbershop adore you.

              Yeah an image made in illustrator isn’t proof of that. Someone hasn’t been paying attention to US politics at all.

              Also, no you don’t have to be a liberal to realize that when presented 2 options you should pick one. We literally have concentration camps now because people are running with this BS you’ve presented.

              But yeah rattle on about Liz Warren, a strategy that clearly failed, one that I never supported, and that has harmed the establishment dems significantly. Their clear failures have lead to the DSA’s recent successes.

              Do I need to draw you a picture to make that clearer?

                You’re arguing against your own point. The DSA is succeeding because the center failed in 2024. It’s that same failure of people to vote for Kamala that is responsible for that. The same people you’re whining about.

                It’s not like we didn’t try your way - 2020 saw Biden elected with both houses. And he did . … nothing. The Democratic leadership used the opportunity to go after the left is all. And they were promptly defeated in 2024.

                So again, if you want to stop the GOP, your lesser evil strategy has been shown to be a failure multiple times. The only reason to follow it is if you’re trying to fill your own self-esteem at the cost of actual effective action.

                But yeah rattle on about Liz Cheney

                If you don’t know the difference between Liz Warren and Liz Cheney, you should learn a bit more about US politics.

                  My mistake, I dislike both Liz Warren and Liz Cheney. Both represent clear failures of the democrats. Feel free to rattle on about either while you ignore the real issues

                  Yeah sure Biden did absolutely nothing, eat up the Republican slop and ignore our brand new concentration camps and brownshirts running around

                    Hey, obviously I despise ICE.

                    Which is why I don’t vote for candidates that support it. You are angry that I’m not.

                    Your anger is valid. It is also misplaced.
