It appears the US congress has just proposed (edited) a bill that declares “Antifa” a terrorist organization.

This doesn’t even make sense as Antifa isn’t an organization, but just a shared name for anyone that self-identifies as a person opposed to and willing to fight fascism 🤦‍♂️

Stay safe out there!

Note: SLRPNK is an EU based service and we are openly Antifa here, and proudly so!

    I don’t really care how people voted. But to blame the system for an obvious choice they should have made is a fucking cop out. Own your choices. You did. I’m talking about all the people who didn’t vote and are now surprised the country is becoming what they said it’d become. There is never an ideal choice. They should grow up and quit whining when the thing they could have stopped but didn’t because it wasn’t ideal happened. It’s like an incel waiting for a perfect mate and whining why no one will give you the time of day.

      the blame lies squarely within the system. democrats wouldnt have stopped it and it was a matter of time.

      if they expected a higher turnout, they would have just gamed it harder to win.

      an obvious choice they should have made

      Why have elections at all when you’re going to present people with “obvious” choices?

      Biden should have simply cooronated his heir apparent. Seems like the whole election process was the mistake.

      They should grow up and quit whining when the thing they could have stopped but didn’t because it wasn’t ideal happened

      The deeply depressing part of this delusion is still believing Biden/Haris would have ended the Gaza genocide in the face of mountains of evidence to the contrary.

      Trump landed a ceasefire day one, because he pushed back on Netanyahu ever so slightly.

      Not only was ending the genocide possible, it was incredibly easy. Biden’s team just didn’t want to do it.

        I’m very sure they’re satisfied now. Aid to Israel and plans to ship the Palestinians out. Well done!

        Oh and obligatory fuck off

        What, Biden wasn’t genociding hard enough so they voted for the orange fascist who everyone knew would be several orders of magnitude worse…?
