Liberals need to ask why the fuck their leaders are so keen on catching fascist flies, but so nakedly hostile to LGBTQ / Muslim / College Debtor / Migrant Laborer / M4A voters.
Because America is mostly a bunch of shit-eating flies and you don't win elections without them.
Because people are terrible.
Flies prefer the stinkiest turd.
After years of "we're the real patriots"... Still saying it.
Nationalism is a primary foundation of fascism.

"But they will just their heels in harder, so we can't do anything at all!"
Destroy Nazi's yes, but there are way more people who are more like middle right who you can still talk and compromise with. It is not for nothing that countries like NL have so many parties that you can vote for. There is more than just left or right. There isn't anything more than being a Nazi or a Nazi hater
One of the more infuriating things the Reich wing media does is conflate those two groups as well... We go after actual Nazis and then Faux News two minutes hate prime time cries all night about how "the left are attacking YOU! they're coming for YOU!"
it's so goddamn absurd but the Magoos lap it up and beg for more...
The far right media ecosystem has tens of billions of dollars in subsidies, in no small part thanks to the hundreds of billions of dollars in federal contracts that their sponsors are afforded.
Liberals periodically have the opportunity to cut these organizations off at the knees by defunding the massive privatization schemes that dominate the Federal Government - private prisons, military procurement, private rented real estate, SpaceX/Starlink, etc. But the folks who finally get into positions of power always think they can enrich themselves personally rather than risking their careers challenging Big Business financially.
Curiously, conservatives don't seem to have this problem. They'll butt heads with the business wing routinely, secure in their position thanks to Christian popularism and ethnic nativism. But because Liberals don't value their base voters, they prefer to pander to Big Business. This is also why the lose big elections, pandering hard to financial supporters while scolding any reluctant popular voter for not Voting Blue No Matter Who.
A lot of people on the internet do that as well. "If you are not with me, you are against me"!
In the middle. Between Authoritarians and their nazi troops and poor people going to work or going to immigration hearings or their kids graduation.
Fuck those people. Fuck them with every cactus in the mojave desert. Useless cowardly fence sitting cunts to a man. We don't need them. We don't want them. They chose their side. It's with the nazis. So fuck them too.
Edit - https://bsky.app/profile/iamthepaulina.bsky.social/post/3lrdi57lvok2y - This is what those cowards are supporting. Slavery.
Sorry that you don't have an option to vote for more than left and right and I do. Not being acceptable for others (again don't accept anything from the fucking nazi's). Will not help solve the issue and just push those in the middle towards the right.
