That's rich from a group calling everyone a Nazi in the last few months unless they fully agree with you on Gaza, and I'm a leftist and one that's been at this a while, and you Americans are toxic as fuck. You don't perceive that we around the world who are actually leftists are aghast at the stupidity of your country.
The right was always toxic, but the left really went with it this election too. Nobody was good enough for anyone and nobody was leftist enough for everyone. And if you saw someone you thought was less left, you shouted "Nazi" at them. Not just at the right wingers, but your own allies on the left.
Nailed it. The Dems didn't fail the voters, the voters failed themselves. Some fell in love with a con man and some sat on their purity pedestals and refused to help. America is full of all kinds of idiots.
oh so sanctimonious "purity pedestals" like, Stop abetting an exterminationist campaign
It was only broadly popular with most of the country and polled well in swing states; thank goodness party leadership had the stones to stick to their values and loose on this issue. Nobody to blame here but people who didn't make campaign choices and do not have access to the levers of power!
You have every right to be frustrated and angry, and if it helps you to direct that anger at me, then go for it. I want you to know that even though it feels like there are so many people against you, there are people around the world you've never met that are pulling for you. I sincerely wish you the best, and I hope that you're able to find happiness.
