The problem, of course, is that they have opted for the self-destructive course and lash out uselessly at people who want change but have been forced to look at the reality of the situation and try to reduce damage as much as possible.
What they are doing now, calling anyone who votes Democrat a genocide supporter, is a prime example of that useless lashing out, as it isn’t productive, particularly in a rather small online space.
That is the part that gets me. They are our side’s version of MAGA-stupid. Their end goals align with us and their heart is in the right place (for our views, as MAGA is for their side’s), but they run on pure emotion and ignorance of the systems the real world has to operate in. In their rush for change they are happy to destroy their country and demolish the party that would move to their ends.
Like going to a team checkers tournament and putting down chess pieces because they are stronger and give you more options, solid enough logic…then being disqualified and flipping the table and shitting on the others on your team trying to play good checkers. You still lose, your team is now down by one, and no one is playing chess…oh, and the other team promised to burn down the hall if they win.
Honestly, it has gotten to the point that I am certain most of them are just working for the other side. It is easier to believe and isn’t unrealistic by any stretch.
Yeah…at best they’re just useful idiots for the powers that be to exploit/point out as “look they are all crazy.”
Having dealt with them, they seem utterly committed to both parties being bad because they both serve capitalist ends and the ruling class (which is true tbh), but then fail to grasp that while both sides aren’t great, one side is at least doing SOMETHING positive while the other is actively trying to destroy things.
Just from a climate standpoint, at least the Dems are passing some kind of legislation about green energy and agree it exists, whereas the Republicans deny it and want to cut all remaining protections. This leaves us with two options: either these people want things to get worse out of some desire for change acceleration (yikes), or they really are just that stupid and can’t see any difference.
But also, you are literally killing Palestinians by saying these things - join me in waggling my finger at the government to feel better about yourself!
