100%, anybody who has unironically used the term “vibecession” or similar terms will need their time spent in the re-education camps doubled, because they display such a catastrophic disconnection with basic reality. you either have to have not stepped foot in a store for the last year or two, or are so rich that you don’t pay attention to the price tags and just buy things

and then goes on to insist that while he agrees that “we need to get organised” it’s important to remember that it “doesn’t have to mean joining an organisation” and can just be personal little things.

I’m starting a union consisting of just myself, and will start “collective” bargaining within weeks

Harris and the rest of the Democrats were and are way too dismissive of real economic issues; there’s examples in this very thread of them still doing the whole “Ignore the voters: the economy is actually the best it’s ever been, and here’s why: (1/942)” charade.

I’m genuinely unsure if this incompetence is on purpose or on accident - do they actually believe that the average American is doing really well because they’re just in delusional bubbles of rich friends, or are they knowingly trying to sell a false image to try and convince people in lieu of - gasp - doing something that doesn’t benefit the top 0.01% for the first time in ~250 years? Regardless, I think that a Democrat who ran on solving genuine economic issues and disconnected from Biden’s terrible management could have won. But such a figure would never have been tolerated in the election. In fact, I think they’d be Corbyn’d and they’d just tank their own campaign to ensure that the Republicans win, so in that sense, Bernie also would not have won in this environment.

So in that sense, saying “any democrat running nationally in this environment was just fucked no matter what” is correct, but not on their own merits, but because somebody who could win would not be allowed to win. The Venn diagram is two separated circles.

If Harris even pretended that she didn’t enjoy murdering children by the thousands then maybe she would have got some more goddamn votes. She didn’t even have to do anything in practice! She just had to lie and say that she thinks murdering civilians is bad! She couldn’t even manage that!

In 10 years: “Our program to deport every single person with a greater-than-average concentration of melanin in their skin, and exterminate everybody who isn’t cis and heterosexual, is facing some real opposition from these delusional cultural marxist tankies and we need to STOP listening to them if we wanna win the next election. Sometimes change has to be incremental; perhaps in 50 years when our 9-0 Supreme Court is brought back to 5-4 or better, we can consider allowing non-whites to exist in this country. We have to RESIST fascism in all its forms.”

I think left organizing will become more prevalent under Trump than it was under Biden/would be under Harris, but the Resistance Libs are not even remotely part of that discussion, they’re an irrelevant and useless political bloc. A thousand #resistance libs are worth a single disaffected Harris voter becoming radicalized and entering into left-wing politics. We’re gonna have to be patient with them as they arrive to various left spaces, including Hexbear, seeking answers. Just as many of us turned from Bernie/Corbyn libs into outright internationalist communists

ermmmmm, actually, Harris wouldn’t have been geriatric.

socialist tankies owned epic style

I’ve told the modchat about it, that’s about as much as I can do

Putin could be on vacation in the conquered ruins of Madrid and Russian telegram would be dooming because his hotel service was a little subpar that morning
