    Lol. I’m talking about the party as a whole. The ones you speak of that use their power to put down revolution and progressive candidates like Bernie alike, but appear “powerless” to do anything else like “stop fascism”. What interest does that party have in stopping fascism?

    See, it’s not a dynamic where they are all-powerful in one aspect and powerless in another. It’s that their interests are very heavily weighted to the first aspect, and that informs their behavior.

    So tell me, why should they care? Why should they go out of their way? They won’t be the ones directly affected and in fact it’s a great campaign tool if their opponent is openly fascist. Not to mention the money being made off of it. If they get accused of allowing fascism to take root they can just say they were powerless to stop it, and you fuckers will believe them. Tell me how this isn’t a net positive for anybody, without an identity that lands them or their loved ones directly in the crosshairs (i.e. the vast majority), that has a ruling class position in society?

    I disagree strongly and I don’t think you get what I’m saying. It’s not a competition and there’s no need to dismiss the feelings of one side or the other. If you are a man, and especially if you are occupied by a specific focus on men, you cannot know the extent of women’s loneliness or the impact that it has on women. The same goes vice versa. The issue is too nebulous, too subjective and complexly intertwined with too many different aspects of our lives as humans. It’s a fool’s errand.

    It doesn’t matter who has it harder, because the root cause is the same. Addressing this root cause will help every person experiencing loneliness in the modern age regardless of gender. Any other solution is just treating the symptoms and will inevitably result in people being left out and marginalized. People who matter. It will inevitably result in division, which hurts our ability to unite and fight for a common cause.

    This stoking of a needless war between the genders is a counter-revolutionary tactic employed by the ruling class to keep us fighting amongst ourselves instead of challenging their power. They want us focused on pushing forward half-measures; measures that can be easily struck down, agitated against, that will keep us going in circles; measures that do not fundamentally challenge the systems that created these issues in the first place and, in fact, depend on the persistence of these issues.

    I don’t think the loneliness epidemic is uniquely male though. It’s an affliction of this entire generation. There is a specific subset of men that have been radicalized against women as a scapegoat for the loneliness they feel, but the true cause is increasing social alienation driven by capitalism. The specific mechanism not being limited to the commodification of our attention that has been enabled by the advent of high speed internet.

    So you understand that the Democrats willfully lost the election by supporting genocide; that that was the choice they made as a party, and the voters’ response to that decision was a very predictable one; but you still have energy to debate anyone who would dare to criticize and take the same principled position against them?

    Doesnt mean I want to bring genocide home.

    Oh, I see. It’s okay as long as it’s over there. Well then Trump’s genocide should be fine because you didn’t immigrate over the southern border. Resistance is not necessary, go home everybody. Everything will be fine as long as we all make sure to vote as hard as we can!!

    whether they understand it or not

    If such a thing can be done without understanding, how do you know that you aren’t the one who has been pushed to the right and that you aren’t doing the work of dragging others along with you?

    Surely nobody thought of this 20 years ago when George fucking Bush was in office. Or 40 years ago when Reagan was in office. This idea of pushing the liberal party left and running locally is a totally fresh and original idea and definitely isn’t a distraction from organizing the working class into a force of its own which demands concessions from the ruling class at the threat of upheaval.

    Hows it feel to simp for a party that can’t get a 3% advantage on donald fucking Trump? If that was our only option and we are effectively voting at gunpoint then there never was any “democracy” to protect.

    I love how democrats with no interest in catering to their base of voters are super effective at preventing third party and progress candidates from even getting on the ballot or in front of voters, so you can sit there keep saying they have no chance of winning. I love how liberals will excuse voting for the genocidal maniacs you’re convinced are your only option because you’re comfortable enough under this system that you’re willing to work within it and turn your cheek to all of the violence it commits at home and abroad.

    You only care when the genocide comes to your front door, what about your fucking neighbors who are getting evicted and thrown out of their homes because their housing is too valuable to somebody else’s monetary interests to just let them live there in peace? What about the homeless, the working poor, the food insecure, the largest prison population on the planet who coincidentally are legal to use as slave labor? Are they not worth fighting for as long as you aren’t the one on the streets, working for starvation wages, or in prison? In 20 years, are you going to get a “progressive” in office that will offer platitudes about actually treating those people like human beings as they do next to nothing about it? Capitalism requires us to live under the threat of homelessness, of imprisonment, of starvation. Our government is completely captured by capitalists who will not allow you to vote this away, because without this level of coercion their system will collapse. All they have to do is make you believe you are not being coerced, and if anyone is then they deserve it actually, and that is precisely the role played by our two parties.

    A better world is possible, but it sure as hell isn’t going to come about through any “solution” sold to us by those who collect vast power and profit within the world as it is. THAT is today’s problem, the refusal to recognize where power lies and what interests it has. Not the third party voters who already see the system for what it is and always has been. Not the ones who are struggling to bring an end to this system that is designed such that its only material interest is in finding new ways to remove our rights and boosting candidates who will carry that out.
