Beating students into accepting support of a genocidal ethnostate is how you radicalize your population.
When Biden loses in November liberals will only have themselves to blame, but of course they’ll blame “the radical left” the same way MAGA fascism does — It couldn’t possibly be own commitment to “nothing will fundamentally change”.
State cops don’t take orders from the president, fwiw. I’m sure there’s steps Biden could take to respond to this sort of thing and his silence is certainly problematic, but he’s not personally sending in forces here, unlike certain other presidents.
I know what should happen instead.
Everyone should just stay home so when trump gets elected, all these protesters will be swept off to gulags, so we never have to have or hear about any of these pesky protests ever again.
That will fix everything!
Its amazing how shortsighted many progressives are. Fuck.
Trump would treat them better?
Nobody’s suggesting they’ll switch their vote to Trump.
There are only yep options in us voting…
Lack of enthusiasm lowers turnout. People don’t have to think Trump is better to stay home, they just have to be unmotivated. I’m not saying it’s a good decision — I think it’ll destroy the country —but it’s reality.
It doesn’t matter whether the single-issue “punish Biden for genocide” voters’ attitudes are stupid and self-defeating; they exist and the Democratic Party has to either acknowledge that and capitulate by finally doing the right thing (shock, horror!), or suffer the consequences of losing and plunging the country into fascist dictatorship.
Edit: I thought of a better way to put it: the Democratic Party delusion of blaming the leftists for its own failure is ultimately even more stupid and self-defeating.
Seriously… How much of a fucked up dystopia do you have to live in that “If you want people to vote for you, don’t support a fascist genocide” is considered a radical leftist agenda?
