Some of yall have forgotten that we already tried the ‘let the fascists win’ thing in 2016. We didn’t get a revolution or socialism; all we got was a far right Supreme Court, a botched pandemic response, and crashed economy. Only stupid people would want to try that again.
This is a lesson for all Black and POC leftists. White leftists will hype you up on social media and protest with you, but when the consequences start raining down they will abandon you. Notice how none of them are even talking about this lady.

Joe Biden cancelled that guy’s entire student loan debt, freeing up tens of thousands of dollars for him and his family. Trump staged a fake visit to a fast food restaurant, ordered 30 milkshakes, didn’t pay, took a photo with a someone pretending to a supporter, and then left.
Only democrats would be asked to dump a winning ticket that got the most votes ever in history and are currently at the height of a seven year winning streak. Trump has cost republicans everything and not a single media figure is demanding that he not run.
Bernie did us a real disservice by convincing almost an entire age group that passing legislation is easy and that things like universal health care, a $15 minimum wage, and forgiving student loan debt are easy endeavors that can all be accomplished in a matter of months.
The media is full of shit. When democrats don’t back a republican bill we get blamed for holding it up and not cooperating; when republicans don’t back a democratic bill WE get blamed for not having bipartisan support while republicans skate by being a do nothing party.
Maybe communicate to your mom that Biden doesn’t control city level local police departments instead of advertising her and your ignorance for the world to see??
Liberals are framing Aaron Bushnell’s self-immolation as “self-harm” or a cautionary tale of “mental health crisis” because they cannot fathom the concept of martyrdom. They cannot understand someone giving their lives for a cause they believe in. To put their bodies on the line.
“I’m not voting” is why we’re stuck with a conservative Supreme Court for the next 20 years. “I’m not voting” has taken so much from us that I have to question the mental capacity of those who want to try that again.
Last time yall didn’t vote a republican president appointed 3 conservative Supreme Court judges and they blocked Biden from canceling student loans. And because of this yall are threatening to not vote again?? This is why conservatives get what they want and we don’t.
who would’ve thought biden failing to do student loan forgiveness but finding billions to bomb gaza would make his re-election difficult amongst the youth
Never in a million years would the Civil Rights movement have allowed someone to get on camera and say something this stupid, and also allow the counter imagery to be a couple of guys holding up an American flag, preventing it from being torn down. ZERO media literacy.
I’ll say it…and I know this will make some people mad…but I just think someone 80+ years old is too old to be President.
There has to be better options
I absolutely despise this country and I really don’t care what happens to us in November. I hate to say that, but after funding this genocide we truly deserve nothing
The press has mocked Biden for visiting his son’s grave “too often”, they have made fun of his speech, they have spread right wing lies and conspiracies about his family. They even once asked him if he was going to have his dog put down. I’m glad he’s giving you the cold shoulder
Biden hasn't given a single in-depth interview in 3 1/2 years to the New York Times, Washington Post or Wall Street Journal. Trump's no better. This isn't normal.
BREAKING: Activists in South Carolina just took over Biden's speech to call for a ceasefire.
"20,000 dead Palestinians; their blood is on your hands."
Biden was shaken. He's starting to understand the reality: his war on Gaza is horrifically unpopular, and people are fed up.
The idea that we are going to somehow usurp the nomination and presidency from Biden, bypass Kamala entirely, choose a whole new ticket in some back room at the convention in AUGUST, and be able to assemble a winning coalition by November is insane and frankly stupid.
Leftists wanted democrats to lose the 2016 election, the 2018 midterms, the 2020 election, the 2022 midterms, and now to lose the 2024 election. If they had their way, republicans would’ve had complete control of the government for the past 8 yrs. Stop entertaining them.
Leftists: “you stupid idiot, you goddamn moron, you can’t stop fascists by beating them in elections and denying them positions of power. You stop fascists by letting them win and then you protest and chant slogans, dumbass”.
The real underlying issue is that they don’t want Kamala to become president in Biden’s second term. They don’t think she deserves to become president that way. They want to be able to undermine her through a primary & general like they did Hillary. They don’t want her running as…
I don’t think the protesters have realized that the more Biden distances himself from them, the better his reelection chances are. There is no upside for him going to bat for people who have already decided to sabotage him.
Republican voters never go on an “I’m not voting” tour and that’s exactly why abortion is gone and you don’t have student loan forgiveness. But what do I know 🤷🏽♂️
Notice how anti-dem leftists never tell us their plan. Let’s say democrats lose, like they want, and republicans have complete control of the government. Now what? How do you take power back from them? The democrats are gone and it’s you vs republicans; what’s the plan?
Leftists swear they didn’t sabotage Hillary while simultaneously threatening to sabotage Biden
They say their votes are ungettable while simultaneously being upset that democrats aren’t courting them for their votes
Do you want to be ignored or not?? Make up your mind
Leftists will gladly give up their entire legislative agenda, they’ll give up protecting marginalized communities—there’s nothing or no one they won’t give to republicans all in exchange for “punishing” or embarrassing democrats.
This type of hyperbolic nonsense cheapens and downplays what a dictatorship actually is. The fact that she can freely and safely say this without any fear of retaliation disproves her claim entirely.
Blue state leftist telling marginalized communities to prepare for the fascist, white supremacist regime she’s “looking forward” to inflicting on us. Nice
It’s hilarious how leftists helped republicans take over the Supreme Court in 2020 and seem weirdly excited about the prospect of republicans winning again in 2024.
“Enjoy November”???? Go fuck yourself
Leftists will gentrify a movement, make it toxic, then drop it and move on to the next shiny new social cause —leaving the people in need worse off than before.
I don’t understand the logic of someone who wants student loan forgiveness but also didn’t vote for Hillary in 2016 and didn’t vote for Biden in 2020. Your vote indicates that you didn’t want student loan forgiveness to happen. So why are upset?
Democrats keep losing elections because liberals are more happy to partner with conservatives to defeat progressives than to partner with progressives to defeat conservatives.
Leftists patting themselves on the back because some guy burned himself alive over a war that we are not fighting in, is sick and deranged actually. Their movement is not well—they are not well.
Please stop doing this. Civil rights protesters were fighting for civil rights for themselves, their families, and their descendants. They weren’t fighting for a terrorist organization on the other side of the world.
Just an FYI for people referencing the Civil Rights Movement as the ideal and legal means of protesting, students sitting in at lunch counters, in movie theaters, in bus terminals and marching in public parks were violating laws and ordinances and agents of the state were also…
Leftists sacrificed all of their political aspirations to help republicans defeat Hillary. To them, defeating Hillary was more important than universal healthcare, or climate change or student loan forgiveness. The Supreme Court is gone for a generation. Maybe their kids can try.
Leftists are attacking Dems right now b/c they don’t want a galvanized coalition to win the midterms for dems. They DESPERATELY want democrats to lose the midterms and in order to do that they must convince enough people that democrats are equally at fault for Roe.
Conservatives are hating on this because there are Black people dancing in the White House, and leftists are hating on this because they hate seeing happiness because they’ve made performative misery their entire personality.
I'm not cheering for Trump to win. I'm cheering for Biden to lose. The fact Democrats are attempting to normalize genocide as a non-issue this election makes them just as evil as any right-wing authoritarian.
Why is no one dropping out?? If I believed in my heart that my university was directly engaged in funding a genocide, I would stop giving them tens of thousands of dollars a year and find another school that isn’t funding a genocide.
Leftists believe that if they can help republicans inflict enough pain and suffering on us, that we’ll then turn to them as saviors out of pure desperation. Sick stuff
“A gallon of milk hasn’t been under $2 in over 20 years, but I’ve noticed it now because we have a Democrat as President and I need something to be upset about”.
We need to talk about how leftist movements use and hide behind Black and brown faces and voices. Leaving them to bare the brunt of the consequences for their violent rhetoric while they themselves escape unscathed.
What's happening in Gaza wouldn't be happening if Biden wasn't enabling it.
If Trump were the one enabling the genocide of Palestinians, at least liberals and Democrats would then oppose it.
To the liberals saying I need to vote for Biden:
I see you. I hear you.
But now is not the time for us to throw away votes on vanity candidates like Biden. The incrementalism, genocide, forever wars, and economic austerity will have to wait until the next election cycle.
Dear Black students, please do not crash out like this over a terrorist organization on the other side of the world that doesn’t give a damn about you. Your friends’ futures and careers can survive a terrorist supporting phase, but you cannot.
“Be glad — be grateful — that I’m not just going out and murdering Zionists. I’ve never murdered anyone in my life, and I *hope* to keep it that way.” This is a top leader of

Activism is supposed to garner support for your cause, this is doing the opposite. This is anti-activism, this is sabotage. The Palestinian people deserve better allies.
The same people screaming “expand the court” are the exact same people that refuse to vote to give democrats a large enough majority for that to be even remotely possible
Slowly but surely, these “protests” will become less and less about Palestinians and Gaza, and more about their socialist wish list. They’re actually moving pretty fast with it.
If progressives had aligned with democrats in 2016 instead of stabbing us in the back, we would probably be in the process of nominating one of them right this very moment. Their inability to secure a partnership with the largest, most diverse voting coalition in American history…
Democrats keep losing elections because liberals are more happy to partner with conservatives to defeat progressives than to partner with progressives to defeat conservatives.
What’s happening in Gaza is a tragedy; Bibi has vastly overstepped; he should resign and be held accountable. Now what I want you and your friends to explain to me is why would that be reason enough for us to hand over the reigns of power to fascists here in this country.
Palestinians are so marginalized that they are actively being genocided, but you have already decided that they are not important enough to take into account.
I’ve gotten student loan forgiveness, a climate bill, a gun bill, over a hundred federal court judges, a Supreme Court appointment, and thanks to the infrastructure bill, my small town has all new roads, sidewalks, and lighting.
What does the Democratic Party even stand for anymore?
They aren't even bothering to run on the issues at all. It's just "Trump is bad."
I don't understand how Biden voters aren't alarmed by this! Don't democratic voters care about the issues?
You admitted to purposefully writing negative stories about him as revenge for him not interviewing with you. Your entire editorial board should resign immediately.
A couple billion dollars in foreign aid is not the reason why we don’t have universal health coverage or a $15 min wage, republicans are the reason why, and until y’all are serious about removing them from power and keeping them out of power, it’s just a bunch of talk.
It’s actually kinda impressive how not interested leftists are in amassing or wielding political power. They just flat out don’t want to do anything really.
Helping republicans defeat Hillary is the far left’s biggest and only accomplishment. Of course Roe is gone for the foreseeable future and the Supreme Court is lost for the next 30 years but at least they helped defeat cringe Hillary right?
👨🏻💼:Biden is old
👨🏾💼:yea we know

Leftists calling everyone a “genocider” doesn’t hit like they expected because they spent 2015-2020 calling everyone who didn’t support Medicare for All a murderer.
