Third party voters did not decide either of the elections that Trump won. That’s a lie the establishment Dems cooked up to obfuscate their responsibility for Trump, and there data absolutely does not support it.
But decades of bioartisan Neoliberal austerity policy did suppress turnout. Probably enough to affect the outcome, but that’s not something anybody measures since nobody with the money to find the study actually wants to know.
The “some reason” is because most educational text and all entertainment media are published by the same six corporations, all of whom are owned by billionaire parasites who profit greatly from that Neoliberal policy.
now we have a fascist rapist racist pedophile president who sucks israel’s cock.
Who only became a viable candidate because of thirty years of lesser-evil voters covering for the Democratic Party to shift from slightly right of center to right of Reagan, but just slightly left of the “fascist rapist racist pedophile”.
Nakedly fascist and white supremacist candidates have been in the Republic Primary forever. They never got the time of day from Republican voters until the bipartisan Neoliberal austerity had squeezed the working class so hard that a fascist strongman selling easy answers seemed attractive. And after the guy who ran on Hope and Change delivered Narratives and Crumbs instead, yeah a lot of disillusioned people who’d been first time voters during the Obama years went back to staying home. That’s not because of “both sides” messaging depressing turnout, that’s because of “both sides” reality showing them it didn’t matter. They voted for a Public Option and got United Healthcare denying their claims. They voted to codify Roe and end the Bush Tax Cuts and got open air slave markets in North Africa and the Space Program handed over to Billionaires to cannibalize.
Then after Trump’s first term, they watched the party push Biden from sixth to first without even trying to be subtle about it. And it was obvious even on Super Tuesday that Biden wasn’t being annointed because he could stop Trump, but because he could stop Bernie Sanders. So why on Earth would anyone who finds the status quo untenable continue to support a party so obviously and totally devoted to defending the status quo against any attempts to improve it? Voting for the ratchet because you fear the wheel isn’t going to motivate anyone. The only people still on your side are the ones too blind to see that ratchet effect policy and identity politics is the only thing the DNC has to offer.
Except for the humans with malabsorptive disorders, who can’t get enough protein from plant based foods, humans with Achlorhydria, who need more bioavailable nutrients than a plant based diet can provide, and people with any of several conditions affecting the liver or kidneys that prevent the absorption of several key vitamins from plant sources, and people with ARFID who can’t eat plant based foods.
Most humans don’t need to eat meat, but the minority who do need to eat meat is a much larger minority than most vegoon evangelists care to admit to.
Just say that you cum in your panties a bit when you pay for the torture of sentient beings
Just say you love huffing the smell of your own farts and that the malnutrition has left you with brain fog too severe to figure out how to operate a search engine.
And IMO “Blue No Matter Who” means “please vote for the polite imperialists, because I don’t care what happens to anyone I don’t know as long as I do have to hear about it on the news.”
It’s a call to just be ok with US funded genocide, concentration camps on US soil, constant war, no police accountability, and throwing trans rights under the bus because if you don’t the other guys will do all that same shit but the media will actually talk about it so you can’t pretend it isn’t happening.
The play needs to be what Lenin, Castro, and Mao all did, overthrow the disgusting ruling class and establish a government run by workers.
Then idk what to tell you. I’ve been hearing it IRL and online for more than a decade now used to refer to the “Blue No Matter Who” types that tried to say anyone with concerns about Copmala’s record as a crooked prosecutor or her enthusiastic support for a US funded genocide was secretly a Russian bot trying to boost Trump’s chances.
The argument is as old as time and yet yorie absolutely wrong about all of it.
is it ethical to kill?
Under many circumstances, yes it is.
do humans need meat to survive
Not all do, but approximately 1/3 humans have any one of half a dozen different conditions that make them unable to thrive on a vegan diet, even with the expensive supplements that price many working people out of veganism.
Is animal agriculture equivalent to slavery?
No, and you saying so is an insult to every enslaved human on Earth.
if you eat meat, deep down inside you know you’re supporting: murder, rape, entrapment, torture, and slavery. that includes eggs and milk.

And your salad has much more exploited human labor in it than my steak has exploited animal labor. Maybe work on ending the exploitation of your own species before trying to equate your fad diet with ethics?
Fair enough. I’m on board if we also don’t allow the purchase of any plant based products to anyone who hasn’t put in a season working in the fields. If I can’t exploit Porky for meat without having skin in the game, you can’t exploit Manuel for labor without doing the same.
Have you seen our healthcare system?
Lol
Well “one of the most liberal cities in the US” would be more likely to be full of Blue MAGA than people opposed to it. There isn’t really a way to determine the “most communist cities in the US”, but that’s where you’ll find people who’ve been using the term for years.
After the first time they did it and got to sleep comfortably in their own beds that night, it became everyone’s fault.
It’s been a thing since 2016, when it became patently obvious that both parties serve the same ruling class and that party loyalists from either party are fighting for the same future, and neither group understands what future they’re fighting for.
In any work set before 1985 this is likely to be accurate. Most states had laws on the books called “fleeing felon laws”, which specifically authorized law enforcement to shoot fleeing suspects in the back if they were suspected of a felony. SCOTUS deems that practice unconstitutional in 1985 (with some exceptions).
Cool. Then the Ohio Dems can suck an unwashed ass.
Nah. Trying to rehabilitate Nazis leads to Nazis taking over critical institutions and going underground to pop back up a couple of generations later. Unlike our grandparents, we don’t need to leave a bigger less for our grandkids to clean up.
And when most of us were “trapped in a propaganda echo chamber” the idea of cheering on masked secret police disappearing our neighbors for their skin tone or language would still have been a non-starter. Yes, they were made to believe absurdities in order to make them commit atrocities. That doesn’t excuse the atrocities, nor does it make the absurdities anything other than what they wanted to believe to begin with.
It was meant to be insulting to both of them and Hillary Clinton too
If you think there’s an option to vote to hold trump accountable your memory is incredibly short. If he doesn’t die in office, warm and cozy in his bed, he’ll die in Mar-A-Lago, warm and cozy in his bed.
Stephen Miller is the new Kissinger, in 30 years a Democratic Secretary of State will glaze him as “an incredible influence”.
Accountability isn’t on the menu until/unless the Democratic party is purged of all Clintonites/Third Way loyalists. And you don’t have time to do that before Trump dies of old age, never having known a moment of accountability in his worthless life.
It would be doing almost the same thingsz but it would be less in your face about them and the billionaire owned media would be quiet about them. We’d be just as hated and disgraced, but the average USian would be once again blissfully unaware of just how hated. At least until the reality inventing machine needed to gin up support for a war, then all the constant anti US sentiment in the places the empire has colonized will be shown in 4k as if it came out of nowhere while the public hoovers it up along with insipid platitudes like “they hate is for our freedumb”.
