Huh. So what's your conclusion then? They should keep voting for people that actively hurt them?

I hear your anger and yeah all politicians treat us like we're tools to advance their power. I'm not going to "fix" my views by embracing people that want me and mine to be lesser up to death just because that was the "will of the people".

The two party system sucks. I don't think people here are 100% saying the dems will fix everything tho. There is a lot of legitimate criticism for dem candidates here and a lot of people saying they want things to be better. I think that's the right side of history when we're seeing secret police disappearing people in the name of the gop.

My conclusion is that the arrogant view of the left that it decides what good policy/culture entails, and from there tries to contrive ways to impose that upon genpop, denigrating the parts of it that show resistance to it, has severely backfired over the decades. You see this attitude rampantly on this forum.

Why would I, or anybody else, accept that some third party gets to decide what my motivations are, what I want out of life, what I'm allowed to say/think, and by extension how I "should" (lol) vote? Yes, leftists in this very thread have leaned into doing all of the above.

Leftists in America today, by and large, have this idea in their head that there could be no possible good reason to have non-leftist views, especially on social issues. How could you want to ban abortion? How could you not want affirmative action/DEI? How could you oppose trans rights? How could you want to mass exile immigrants, or be racially homogenous? And so on.

Leftists behave as though it's a foregone conclusion that their opinions on these topics are closer to moral facts than they are to mere opinions. There's no integrative complexity; it's not a question of if you're right, but how best to convince people that you are, and if that fails, how to coerce them to acquiesce to you.

You literally and openly discuss imposing "consequences" on people for disagreeing with your politics, often going as far as to insist that your political opinions and moral decency are basically the same thing, and once the left forms an internal consensus on much of anything, you act as though the public debate on the topic is essentially over. Comply or else.

If one has the option to not be subject to such a regime, why shouldn't they?

EDIT:

The title is kind of misleading, it should say Democracy is killing us, the world is falling apart because Democracy doesn't work when the hateful embeciles will always pick the wrong candidate and always be in power, why should people who oppose the give a shit when it's quickly losing battle?

Case in point. It's "imbeciles," by the way.

They're already hoping Netflix will cancel the "wizard TV series"! As if it being on Netflix with their reach doesn't mean it will even reach more people worldwide. (why do they keep calling it wizard this and that? do they think it sounds cool or what?)

Well, at least hopefully the wizard TV series will get cancelled after one season?

You think a HP show wouldn't be popular enough to keep going? Really?

How is that a troll? Nepenthe was just going on about how liberals need to stop thinking that everyone right of them is an animal. 

Or was it the magic trick that Nepenthe said "white liberals" ?

Yeah I never said she was a Trumper or MAGA or even conservative to my recollection. Though it would be funny to me after this that we found out she was. But here she just seems to be chastising the Trump administration and deployment of ICE. Unless you have info about her denouncing Trump and his actions towards women? In which case, my bad about that and I was wrong.

Otherwise though, people do get the context here right?

She said about Newsom: ""...he has overlooked women, half the population, by devaluing us in midlife, he probably should not be our next president either,"
While the current American president, well I don't think I need to go over anything he has said and done to women in the many years we know him, there was nothing said about him and his acts/attitudes toward women. And this is nothing to say of the crew he runs in and courts in regard to this either.

This is like chastising the college frat boy for whistling at women and slapping their butts as they walk past. But then in the background we have an elderly black dad in colourfully knitted sweaters personally serving drinks to the college girls and then personally escorting them upstairs when they seem sleepy.

By all means, go in on the college dude, he deserves it, especially when he slapped your ass, but you not calling out Mr puddin pops in the background is gonna get a side eye from me.

But as I keep saying, you guys do you in how you want to interpret this. I'll wait for more information, especially from a more trusted source who will investigate deeper and has receipts. Just because I agree with someone on something, doesn't mean I won't question their motives as to why they are doing it.

How could you want to ban abortion? How could you not want affirmative action/DEI? How could you oppose trans rights? How could you want to mass exile immigrants, or be racially homogenous? And so on.

That's the problem people like Nepenthe have and that's why they'll never understand the right. Are there people who hold those believes purely out of hate or racism? Sure, but there are also people who legitimately believe that abortion is baby murder, how do you reach those people if you can't even conceive that this is their belief? Same with DEI, what makes you think that this is literally the only way to fix inequality? Maybe we can hire more minorities without banning the word "guys" from the slack chat.

But no, the mere implication that someone might have reasons other than hate to dislike these policies instantly means you need to get banned. Amazing outreach Nepenthe.

Trump is not dying just old. He has the mentality of a 10 year old bully, so he doesn’t want to look bad. That’s it.

Given that I don’t care that much about theaters, I don’t mind Netflix buying WB. Better than the Saudis and Quatar having more control on popular media.

I checked LSF out of curiosity. They are living in another reality fr.

In the real world, Hasan is having the time of his life in Ireland, greeting countless fans after getting a prestigious award.

In the world fabricated by Sexpestiny/H3/Asmeinkampf stans, this loser's Ireland vacation was derailed after a based Kaya fan deftly pranks him. Look at how he ran away! Also, how dare he compare what he went through with Emiru's assault. What a baby!

When you look at these dipshits it dawns on you that Rush Limbaugh and Jim Bakker actually had charisma.  It was the same goo-goo, gah-gah but they knew how to not come off

Part of the issue is that the liberal whites are so embarrassed, ashamed, and hateful towards the conservative whites that they're not actually in a position to help them because helping someone requires, to some degree, some level of genuine interest in one's well being and outcomes, some level of ability to humanize the person in front of them.
Liberals do not care about conservatives in that manner and make it clear they don't every time they're in power. If they all died tomorrow from some cosmic force, that'd be just fine with them.

I figured out why she does this.  She ran out of minorities to champion for and become the leader of one day so now she's adding poor misguided white conservatives to her roster.

Okay but I'm not the whole of the Internet. I'm one anti-capitalist who has been consistent on this principle since coming into the current level of knowledge I have at my disposal. If you haven't read any of my screeds against not just other billionaires but capitalism and imperialism as a whole, that's your problem, not mine. My post history is open to you to search through.

Dude goes full conspiracy nut but people are mad that he goes both sides.

The both siding is why it's hard for me to take these GN editorial videos seriously. The same thing happened in his tariff video, he refused to say anything bad about Trump or the administration and just focused on saying "Tariffs are bad". It's beyond silly.

How hard is it to say "The tariffs imposed by the Trump administration are having a negative effect on the PC market"

Because anyone with a brain knows that the tariffs are imposed by Trump? What are we even doing here

There is a lot of stuff he would probably enjoy if he wasn’t a real cunt and trapped in his narcissistic act.
