    Wow it’s almost like leading the mobilisation of a working class party only to then disarm it by capitulating to the capitalist duopoly makes your supporters hate you.

    A majority of american hexbear users are former Bernie bros from r/chapotraphouse who now hate him for giving in to the dems. Look where that got us.

      For all the things he and the “social” dems have said, all they’ve done in practice over the last 8 years is defang the labor movement by absorbing populist left into the dems.

      I might take you folks lot more seriously if you put in even some tiny percentage of the effort into fighting against and yelling about the actually destructive and evil shit that the current admin and his buddies around the world are up to as you do about the Democrats and anyone who makes any effort at progress in America.

        The first part of the comment is correct, and I’m pretty sure most HB users who can are organizing and arming themselves (not just “yelling”). If not, I agree they should be.

        The second part implies that half of the genocidal duopoly is “progressive”, which is kinda funny.
