    Can you or anyone else tell me what “blue MAGA” is?

    Edit: It sounds like the term means centrist/center-right Democrats who want to uphold the status quo. How is that “MAGA” of any flavor? I thought the MAGA movement was just a bunch of Christofascists.

      It’s what the bOtH SiDeS knobs use to justify their apathy.

      I usually don’t use the term because it makes me sound like a tankie, but when I say blueMAGA it’s to describe the “hold your nose and vote Harris you fucking donkey” condescending pricks who that they’re both entitled to shut down all criticism of their preferred candidate and actually convincing anyone to vote by doing it. You know, the people now trying to convince themselves Harris only lost because Americans are sexist and racist and not at all because Harris’s campaign fucking sucked. How to tell: They’ll call anyone who criticizes Harris (they still do it but less often than before the election) MAGA, a Russian bot or a troll and seem convinced everyone who cares about Palestine is/was part of a Russian conspiracy to get Trump elected.

      Establishment democrats who are pro Israel, and anti Ukraine. They are concerned with the super rich, and stand in the way of progressive policies. They say they are democrats, but their actions sound much more republican

        So in response people let the literal republicans win. Who are more pro Israel, more anti Ukraine, more concerned with the super rich and more in the way of progressive policies.

        Smart.

          You guys keep doing that.

          You ask. You get the answer. Then you go “BuT tRuMp Is WoRsE!!!”

          Here is the thing. The conversation about killing 1 baby being better than killing 2 babies is pointless. YOU DON’T KILL BABIES.

          Baby killers don’t get left wing votes.

          Baby killers get fascist right wing votes.

          Republicans will ALWAYS get more right wing fascist votes.

          You lost. You fucking lost. You made this happen.

          LEARN SOMETHING FROM IT.

            Nah. Shut the actual fuck up. Everyone very clearly laid out the exact outcomes of these choices, you just felt the desire to be self-righteous instead of doing literally anything beneficial for anyone besides yourself.

            To make it clear I’m not mincing words: this is your fault.

            At the very least own it instead of whining like a kicked dog.

            The babies are getting killed anyway. Not voting for one is essentially a vote for 2. 2 babies won. So regardless 2 babies are now dying you did nothing but double the number.

            I’m not American. I didn’t do shit.

            The people in my country voted with the main opposition even if it wasn’t our first choice to kick out the shitty trump-lite right wing government we had.

            Any vote that wasn’t for the Dems helped trump end of. Yes the Dems are a bunch of idiots who didn’t help themselves. But the people chose Trump.

            I hope it’s not too bad for them. And I hope they learn from it.

            Throwing your vote away and getting the much shitter option is not a good thing and won’t change anything.

            This isn’t Dems Vs republicans. This was everyone Vs trump and they fucked it.

            Almost seems like you’re trying to convince yourself…

            Unfortunately for you, it’s a really bad argument.
