Too lazy to go agitate for the change they want

Were you not agitated by the result of the 2016 election?

It's like you didn't even read what I said and just saw the word "agitate" and typed the first snarky comment that popped into your head.

Okay. Give me examples of what you mean when you say "go agitate".

Go agitate Deez nutz

Tell me you're not left leaning (or... not a native English speaker) without telling me you're not

I also see "Democrat party" a couple times in your comment history, which is another thing I have literally never heard outside the conservativaverse

Summer 2020 was nice.

Where'd all the Bernie fans go? There was supposedly this huge grassroots movement behind him but when the DNC didn't want him (surprise right?) they all just took their ball and went home.

That I have to explain what "agitate" is, is pretty telling.

Great. Can you name any material outcomes from those agitations?

Yes and?

I understand the term just fine. Plenty of people were agitated by their loss in 2016. If they want to win in 2024 they should be begging for our votes.

Well, basically the entire world is aware that cops in the U.S. disproportionately murder black men, that's something at least.

Ah, I see you don't understand the term or completely misunderstood my point. Have a nice day.

That's not a material outcome.

I think you're just mad I understood your point too well. See, I look at the January 6th riot and think, why would I need to do anything when the situation is perfectly clear: compromise with leftists and progressives or deal with MAGA.

This may come as a shock to you but given the right tools we can take care of MAGA. But we're not about to fight a crowd fueled primarily by the very economic injustice moderates and liberals seem so eager to defend with other people's lives. Cut off the economic injustice and leftist and progressives will do the work to handle or rehabilitate the MAGA crowd. That's a good deal.

But if moderates and liberals are so egotistical they think they can handle it on their own: go nuts.

The problem is moderates and liberals (and actual progressives with half a wit) will have to handle it because "the left" doesn't exist in the U.S., it's just some scattered angry people online who can't agree on how to accomplish things.

Lol good luck then. You all have been doing a terrible job so far.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

And good luck getting leftist policies enacted by... sitting at home and complaining online I guess.

Oh I'll be there voting. Just not for Biden or Trump. 👍
