    I’ve made my point about you people supposedly not being numerous enough to matter. A few hundred thousand votes is easily enough to matter if the election is close enough. And you never know how close an election will be before it happens.

    So maybe the party should start treating us as though we’re people with agency whose votes they need.

      Maybe you should be informed and invested enough in your own well being not to shoot us all collectively in the foot over misplaced principles.

        I voted for harris. I wasn’t expecting second worst to be good enough to win, and I shouldn’t have expected the genocide wing to not blame everyone to the left of netanyahu, regardless of how they voted. It’s not the votes you have a problem with. You hate the idea of anyone ever being allowed to utter an unkind word about the perpetrators of genocide under any circumstances.

          You’re out here actively trying to convince people not to vote. You’re either a republican or an accelerationist because your rhetoric is accelerationist rhetoric that elects republicans. Short of a violent revolution in which you and I and everything you love dies or total societal collapse in which you and I and everything you love dies violently the only actual option is the democratic party, by primarying incumbents with progressives at every level in every area. So either we get on with the full tilt collapse of the US or we start dragging the democratic party left. What you’re doing here gets republicans elected.

            No, I’m not. You just interpret all discontent with the genocide wing as such.

              What do you think you’re doing when you’re all over this thread with every comment declaring democrats are worse than republicans?

                You imagined that. Democrats need to improve and you don’t want them to because they sell weapons to your favorite person for your favorite activity, so you hallucinated a position that isn’t there.

                  Fuck you and netanyahu and Israel. Talk about imagining bullshit. I’m here saying make the Dem party into the progressive party, with instructions how, and you’re here carrying water for republicans with your rhetoric.
