“There is only one party in the United States, the Property Party … and it has two right wings: Republican and Democrat. Republicans are a bit stupider, more rigid, more doctrinaire in their laissez-faire capitalism than the Democrats, who are cuter, prettier, a bit more corrupt — until recently … and more willing than the Republicans to make small adjustments when the poor, the black, the anti-imperialists get out of hand. But, essentially, there is no difference between the two parties.”

    No they won’t, these are in fact further evidence that the millions of voters who sat out of the election were AT FAULT for refusing to vote for Kamala. They were the ones who RUINED the pristine functioning of the American democracy.

    Expect maximum smugness from the libs when minorities are threatened by fascist gangs, when immigrants are getting deported (“Latinos voted for Trump! Let’s see how they like it now!”), when Gaza is going to fare much worse under Trump’s plan etc.

    In fact, the more suffering there are, the more vindicated they will feel about themselves - a self-reinforcing loop that will make them double down on voting for the Democrats and bullying the people who refused to do so.

      I mean… Yeah? People who voted for the Leopards Eating Faces party getting their face eaten off by leopards is the definition of fairness. I only feel sorry for everyone who voted for Kamala.

        Nobody cares who you “feel sorry for” genocide lover, the dems embracing racism and nonsensical identity schadenfreude is guaranteed to lead to a fracturing of the democratic coalition, which is good for leftist radicalization and organizing in the long term

        We warned you dipshits what backing a genocide would get you and turns out we were correct, keep lashing out at minorities who didn’t cheer loud enough for genocide, every racist post like that is ammunition for us and you dumbasses aren’t gonna figure how damaging this “leopard” nonsense is until midterms when you all panic at the polls and pretend to be crusaders against racism again

        Stay mad blue MAGA :)

          As I already said in another comment, I strongly oppose how the democrats have been responding to Israel. To respond to the one part that applies to me, though:

          keep lashing out at minorities who didn’t cheer loud enough for genocide

          I still expect people to vote for the lesser evil. Anyway, it would be incredibly ironic for minorities to vote for Trump on that basis.

            Lesser evilism is still voting for, and by extension explicitly endorsing, evil.

            Evil that deliberately helped lay some groundwork for Trump by creating the law shutting down the border when crossings exceed a certain amount, and by sending Israel whatever it wanted among many other things. You cannot just vote for part of what they do.

            My sincerest apologies for not voting for team ‘We feel bad about killing babies but will keep doing it’.

              You voted for team “We don’t feel bad about killing adults and we will keep doing it”. I would argue that’s worse, but either way you’re also “explicitly endorsing evil”.

            If your “lesser evil” involves genocide, you’re a fascist, and if it’s somehow baffling or “iRoNiC” to you that minorities wouldn’t vote for the normalization of fuckin genocide, then you’re also a racist

            So stay mad, stay confused, and above all keep self-sabotaging the Democratic Party, it’s really helping us out with this whole radicalization thing we got going on :)

              Are you genuinely happy with everything that Trump is doing? If you could have chosen between George W. Bush or Trump, would you have chosen Trump over Bush?

        PIGPOOPBALLS

        I’m so fucking sick of the leopard shit. It started out as a joke about Brexit voters fucking around and then finding out that their sex arse business would be affected. Now it’s applied to minorities who are actually being fucked over in a much more significant way and by both parties. It’s just smug privileged people punching down and laughing at people’s misfortune for daring to step out of line.

          Maybe some people use it that way, but I don’t and I haven’t seen others using it that way, either. If you have a problem with my comment, feel free to criticize me. If you have a problem with the behavior of random other people, take it up with them.

          But yeah, if you’re a low-income person who voted for Trump and now your groceries become unaffordable because of his promised tariffs, you get what you fucking deserve.

          I thought the implied qualification was obvious, but I guess not. I only feel sorry for the ineligible voters and eligible voters who voted for Kamala. I was not, in fact, blaming 5 year olds and goldfish for the election of Trump.

            But people who voted against the person who murdered their entire family are explicitly the ones receiving your blame.

            You OBSERVABLY don’t have a problem with any of this. THE ONLY THING YOU’RE UPSET ABOUT IS LOSING.

            THE ONLY THING YOU’RE UPSET ABOUT IS THE FACT THAT YOU’RE NOT THE ONE DOING THE MURDERING ANYMORE. THAT’S how you can turn around and wield that death and despair as a cudgel against the people.

              Bro Trump wouldn’t have acted any differently, and so far he’s been doing the same thing.

                You are now officially worse than the republicans. I’m old enough to remember smug liberals distinguishing themselves from conservatives based on their supposed fidelity to an objective reality. Now look at you. You support a genocide with no limits. You lose because of it. A day zero ceasefire is put in place the second you let go of the wheel. And without missing a beat you say that Trump is “doing the same thing.”

                You are now to the right of the republicans. You are now more conspiracy brained and delusional than the worst right wing media.

                Do self criticism or shut the fuck up forever.
