The Democrats laundered the reich-wing narrative that immigration is bad and that there’s a “border crisis” when they put forward the far-right border bill that Trump thankfully tanked (for his own selfish reasons, but still good that it didn’t pass).

Now, months later, after the anti-immigrant narrative has been laundered and normalized, we get to hear about how immigrants are “eating your pets” and how Venezuelan gangs “are taking over apartment complexes”.

The ratchet effect is real. We need to stop demonizing people that were born on the other side of a border and Democrats need to grow a fucking spine and push back on these racist lies instead of enabling them.

God damn it.

The Green Party literally turned in a referrendum form instead of a ballot form. The judge approved what they turned in.

This fuckup is 1000000% the fault of the unserious members of the local Green Party. They may as well have signed it in crayon too.

Maybe next time, The Greens can take their jobs seriously and run a serious candidate and file the correct forms instead of whinging at the Democrats for their own mistake.

Now the question is: is Jill Stein 🤔?. The people will let democracy decide on their ballots.

She didn’t. She just said “as a Jewish American” and whomever transcribed it added the #, I guess for the engagement, which is good because the message that Jewish people stand against ethnostates and genocide is one that unfortunately many people still need to hear.

Eww… You’re right. What a waste.

So anyway, god bless Chase Oliver, Jo Jorgensen, Gary Johnson, Ron Paul, and all other right-wing spoiler candidates. We thank you for your service o7o7o7

Also, we had this exact same conversation a few weeks ago, and it’s …interesting… that it followed the exact same dialogue tree and not at all suspicious of the integrity of your account… 🤔

I never said anything about fairness. You keep fixating on it.

US electoral politics have nothing to do with fairness. They are downright anti-democratic. Gotta play the game and make as few tactical mistakes (like voting for Grifting Jill) as possible.

I support actual left-wing parties when they’re viable, but Jill Stein and Cornell West need to fuck right out of presidential elections and end their grift. The Greens and other third-parties that run in other elections they can actually win have my support and my vote.

Not a question of fairness for me. It’s a question of if it’s more likely to bring good things or bad things. Spoiler for repugs = good. Spoiler for dems = bad.

I wish the right-wing spoiler candidate the very best o7

The boss makes a dollar,

Why Haptic

We built Haptic to make markdown writing simpler and more accessible. We believe that many existing editors are too complex for simple use cases and day-to-day note writing, so we decided to fix that.

What Makes Haptic Special

1. Ready to Use: Open Haptic and start writing. No setup needed.

2. Simple Design: Clean interface so you can focus on your writing.

3. Write Anywhere: Use Haptic on any computer with internet. Great for public or work computers where you can’t download software.

4. Made for Everyone: If other editors feel overwhelming, you’ll like Haptic.

5. Open Source: Self-host your own instance, giving you full control over your setup.

Haptic is all about making writing easier. We’ve left out extra features to keep things simple and help you get your ideas down without fuss.

Note: If you’re looking for a markdown editor with plugin systems, complex setups, or feature-packed interfaces, Haptic might not be for you. But if you want something straightforward that just works, give Haptic a try!

The New York Times is a right-wing rag, and we should stop pretending it’s not.

I’d love to see him sporting an orange beanie to match his jumpsuit.

All US presidential race polls are fake, even the ones that agree with your preferred outcome. Never let them determine your actions.

Lula is so fucking great. He’s literally just backing up the courts that are applying the law fairly and as-written, which is more than I can say for most leaders.

Wtf is this stupid piece of shit bot doing?

It’s a waste of space normally, but it’s this is ridiculous 🙄

Harassing Protesting politicians that are enabling your genocide does not make being racist toward Palestinians okay. This is just anti-Palestinian racism.

…you don’t see the hypocrisy in laughing when it happens to republicans but being angry when it happens to democrats?!

Hypocrisy would require that I had some say in the anti-democratic system that we’re all subjected to, but I don’t, so when anti-democratic shit hurts fascists, I take it as a fortunate side-effect to an otherwise fucked up system.

But why are you so angry about left-leaning third parties then?

I’m not angry about left-leaning third-parties? I just wish more of the third-parties would put in the necessary work in down-ballot local elections. People like Jill Stein just show up in the presidential race to grift and detract from the total number of votes that the Democrats would get. I would encourage third-party candidates to in down-ballot elections, where they can actually win and make a difference. I vote for those candidates when they run in elections I can vote in. But Jill Stein and Cornell West are clearly just grifting in a race they’ll never win, and in doing so will take away some amount of potentially-Democratic voters.

You have every right to vote for whomever you want, but don’t delude yourself into thinking that voting third-party in a US presidential race is anything more than a virtue signal.

Would you shed a tear for when the spoiler effect happens to hurt fascists? I wouldn’t ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It is good when the most fascistic US political party occasionally suffers from the anti-democratic electoral system in the US, yes.

It’s unfortunate that actual left-leaning third-parties in the US contribute to the spoiler effect, and therefore rightfully catch flack for it, but I won’t stop myself from celebrating the fact that the Libertarian party ruins things for the Republicans.

Actual serious third-parties should be pushing hard in local and state elections, where they actually have some shot of winning. And props to the Green candidates and other nominally left-leaning politicians that actually do that. But Jill Stein and Cornell West only rearing their heads every four years to syphon off votes from the Democrats in presidential races that they will never win, without putting in the work in the local elections, is counter-productive and only aids the right-wing in gaining power.

Sorry, but the spoiler effect is real. And, yes, it’s good when it the Republican party suffers from it, and bad when Democrats suffer from it.
