IDK, maybe when more people here are getting screwed over, libs will radicalize and get off their asses instead of trying to guilt us for not giving legitimacy unconditionally to their favorite “lesser evil” bourgeois party.

Of course, using their meager leverage to extract concessions from the people supposedly representing them never crosses their minds…

Also imagine having the audacity to call us privileged when you see what’s going on in Gaza as a “single issue” instead of an escalation of violence by the ruling class that can and will go back to us.

“well they might be killing arab babies but we have to vote for the party that will save the vulnerable minority groups back home” - someone who thinks that voting for the dems will save any of these groups

Tapping the sign again…

Half of the electorate does not vote, outnumbering all voters of any persuasion combined.

If you are scolding people about voting, start pounding pavement drumming up those votes. Doorknocking means actually listening to other people’s issues and being persuasive, not being a judgemental prick blasting others in yet another moral screed.

There is no one more privileged than people that treat genocide as a small issue

If I hear one more liberal say single issue, I’m gonna snap. It’s like saying, "Oh, you’re not gonna vote for hitler just because he wants to kill all the jews and communists, when he has so many other great things planned??? Well I’ve never been a single issue voter.

If genocide doesn’t count as an important enough deal-breaker to these people, they are soulless ghouls who don’t deserve rights.

What has the current administration done for queer, disabled, or homeless people?

Yeah. The people I know that fit these categories are near unanimously saying Free Palestine

And huge, accessible unemployment benefits. Crazy how easy it was for the US to just fix everyone’s problems temporarily!

Exactly what I was thinking. No, Republicans aren’t going to make things better for queer, disabled, and homeless people, but I was watching the Democrats with hope. My first presidential election I voted for Biden, hoping he could improve mental health care and LGBT+ rights. (and others, but these affect me personally) The party then proceeded to fail to deliver any of that. AND THEN they went to go fund and supply a genocide. Didn’t know the bar could go lower but damn if it didn’t get down.
