You people are literally posting campaign ads as memes, calling everyone with any concerns about electing a racist cop that supports genocide a Republican, and have this weird complex where you think anyone that isnt a Republican but is still not in total agreement with you is a Russian Chinese super intelligent AI trying to steal your 'democracy.'

And you people have the nerve to call anyone else desperate?

I hoped you people would have left the country like you threatened to when Clinton lost by cultivating toxic humans like yourself, hopefully you do when Harris rightfully loses and we can all stop pretending the US was ever a good idea and tear it all down.

hahhahaha you're here to prove your point with horseshit accelerationist theory..

I did my best to show you the door.

Go ahead, tell me what policies you want that will change my mind.

EDIT: Starting with "you people" has never been a good idea

You people really are this dense. I used to want healthcare , like any person in all developed nations has. I used to want a higher minimum wage. I used to want a lot of things the Dems promised, had a majority for, and then did nothing about.

Now I just want an end to the genocide we started and are still directly involved in.

This is effectively untrue. Sure, there were a couple of times where there were more people with Ds in front of their names in both houses, but the reality is (and any genuine objective person who pays attention knows this) it's been razor thin, and there have always been a couple of "moderates" who oppose these things (2 of whom have even left the party, showing how much they were even part of it to begin with) and thus making it impossible to pass. Throw in stupid shit like the filibuster and it's no wonder democrats can't get sweeping legislation through.

If you want these things, and you're instead voting third party, you're acting against your best interests and simply casting a vanity vote. That's your choice, but don't pretend that you actually are working for change.
