@kivuraw@BritBongFlop@hutchinson BLM was a once in a generation opportunity to make some real, meaningful changes to our police and prison system, and the left fucked it up because we can't say no to obviously insane and ridiculous ideas like defund the police and ACAB
@kivuraw@BritBongFlop@hutchinson This is it, it's this right here ☝️ The perfect microcosm of why the left is seen as a bunch of loser crybabies that can't defend their ideas and lose elections over and over
@PiscoLitty Indistinguishable from MAGA "criticisms" of Trump. "I'm not in a cult! I criticize Trump all the time! I said J6 was a bad look!" Criticisms can't look like "Yeah X policy isn't my favorite." Critique DSA types just like you would MAGA. Certain positions just can't be tolerated
@reset_by_peer Delusional. If you told the average dem voter their party supports genocide, 99% would respond, "Wtf are you talking about? That's the most insane thing I've ever heard."
@kivuraw@BritBongFlop@hutchinson This is always the excuse from the far left. Your ideas are somehow super amazing and everyone would support it, but no one understands it. Maybe you're ideas are way too radical and insane and that's why no one supports it
@kivuraw@BritBongFlop@hutchinson BLM is heavily associated with riots, defunding the police and ACAB thanks to the far left and it accomplished virtually nothing because of it. Wasted one of if not the biggest protest in American history. Abolish prisons is the same story, we're so tired sane washing yalls ideas
@SleighbellsHoho@cenkuygur@mehdirhasan "Guys every time there's a fire... I see a fire truck! Is the government starting the fires??? I mean it's called a FIRE truck! It's right there in the name!"
@BritBongFlop@kivuraw@hutchinson Crazy how hard it is to pull this out of them. And btw the dems ALREADY support prison reform. Do they seriously think dems wouldn't want to divert funding to programs that help the mentally ill and drug addicted? Like jfc
@CityPlanner69@liberalishEngr@hutchinson It's "defund the police" and "ACAB" all over again. So weird that the faction that supposedly has all the answers and could so easily win if people gave them a chance in reality has such a terrible strategy that dems will use all their political capital trying to sane wash
@JohnDeweyCyborg@Mike_from_PA This is always the line of attack it seems. "The corporate corruption is SO obvious!" So it should be super easy to debunk me, no? Like what's the best example of a piece of legislation with real potential that was killed because of corporate interests?
@actingliketommy@hutchinson And just for the record, for the public option specifically, Lieberman wasn't even a Democrat! The dems DID primary him in '06, he ran as an independent, and he won the seat by appealing to Republicans. So to try and say the dems allowed him to sink it is demonstrably false
@actingliketommy@hutchinson You're reactionary style of politics, where one singular vote means "PriMary NOw!!!!!1!!", is exactly why the far left still has a big fat zero on the scoreboard for real, transformative legislation
@JohnDeweyCyborg@Mike_from_PA "Corporate interests" I don't even know what that means. Atp it's just a substitute for "thing I don't like." And idc if lefties wrong or criticize dems, just as long as the average voter understands we're not on the same team
