After Biden’s meltdown, the Democrats are hoping to reenergize people with a supposedly “progressive” pick for Kamala Harris’ running mate.

    At best this post is letting perfection be the enemy of “not ceding to a fascist narcissist that aims to be a dictator and will do incalculable damage whether he manages to overthrow democracy or not”.

    At worst this post is bait from a Russian troll farm that’s trying to demoralize leftists so we act against our own interests by making shallow ideological appeals.

    Either way, get bent.

    Nice attack ad. Love how that url has nothing to show about these claims but instead just pushes someone else in your face who literally has zero chance of anything.

    Love the “he’s an Israel fanboi” statement, as if that is a relevant argument when you look at the GOP’s prime cut of meat. Don’t forget Trump moved the US diplomatic mission to Jerusalem, opened it as a fully -fledged embassy and recognised Jerusalem as the Israeli capital, despite Jerusalem having the status of being shared between Israel and Palestine. One of the biggest dick-moves imaginable and hampering any and all attempts at a resolution of a long-lasting conflict.

    Build dual power. The state will persist until capitalism inevitably destroys itself and the state that props it up.

    We must have strong and well-networked communities that can survive and thrive when that happens.

    In the meantime, it’s easier to have a liberal squishy government in power than a fascist one. The libs will attempt to placate and pander to us with little concessions here and there.

    That’s better than fascists who will do as much as possible to crush us into oblivion and suppress any rumblings that sound even slightly left-wing.

    Both parties are statist and against any true vision of socialist structures, but don’t pretend the republicans and dems are equally bad. Dems are bad, but the right-wingers are Satan. I’d much rather fight the mini-boss than the main boss if I had the choice.

    Wikipedia is also not a reliable source. And most of what is sourced about Walz is hearsay from defectors. Truthful sources about Walz are not easily found on the west. The majority of them are altered fascist propaganda.

    Bro, this you? Yes, yes it is - because I found it in your post history.

    Suffice to say, you don’t seem like a ACoolDude, but AWeirdDude.

    Tankies gonna tank. Sorry we can’t get one of your authoritarians elected here instead… Harris/Walz are going to be elected because Americans actually like them, and they will improve this country!

    Ok sure, I’ll ask you the question then, OP: Who should it have been?

    Caveat: you must be politically pragmatic and realistic about the American electorate.

    And because I suspect you don’t have a coherent answer to that: gtfo with your agitprop.
