        Tbf, our two party system is truly awful. We need to fight for a modern multiparty democracy with proportional representation

          I don’t know what was said above, why was it removed? Was it extreme or are we now censoring divergent comments on DB0?

          I feel like that is a bit antithetical to the politics of this page and my own.

          Just checking. I’ve noticed the walls of the fediverse closing a bit and I don’t like it

            Comments have been removed from this post for a few reasons, including a few Rule 3s. FYI when folks come into a leftist space and start criticizing our users for refusing to vote for a party that supports genocide, that’s electoralism, which is a Rule 3 violation in this community.

              Interesting. So it is a closed space. Can’t say I agree with that approach - but not my place to decide either.

              Thanks for clarifying.

            Okay, that’s fair. No one should be forced to vote for a genocide ever. And any system that tries to force people to vote for genocide to defeat fascism is not worth saving… But even on the issue of genocide, Democrats were the lesser evil. Democrats protested genocide while Republicans proudly cheer for it.

              And now that we’re done with the shit you don’t mean, here comes the capital-B “But.”

              But even on the issue of genocide, Democrats were the lesser evil.

              By as thin a margin as they mistakenly thought they could get away with.

              Democrats protested genocide while Republicans proudly cheer for it.

              some democrats protested genocide. centrist democrats screamed abuse at us when we did.

              They didn’t do shit to protest it other than say they felt bad about still having to send Israel bombs while giving Ukraine a small handful of bullets and some flowers. Actions speak louder than words. If they actually cared, they’d give Israel nothing but the middle finger and give Ukraine and Palestine everything they want.
