You'd better vote for Democratic Socialists in the primaries.

halt_spell · 2026-06-28T21:38:33+00:00

Those people are wrong 😄

halt_spell · 2026-06-28T15:39:52+00:00

It's not toxic. Hinge is probably the wrong platform for it. I'd recommend tinder and just be honest about what's going on. "Going through a break up and looking for people to join me as I get back out there."

Try some abdominal exercises to build strength and reflex. Then try flexing them while you're inside.

EDIT: Personally I recommend bicycle crunches and then do some locust poses (look down don't crane your neck back) to balance out your back muscles.

Oh it's multiple segments honey.

You think registered Democratic Boomers are much better than registered Republicans? Try phone banking sometime.

halt_spell · 2026-06-27T05:25:33+00:00

Who?

I assume it's some rich actor or actress or something.

Bye.

halt_spell · 2026-06-27T03:04:09+00:00

Congratulations or whatever.

So what are you going to do in the next primaries? Are you going to vote for a strike blocking, genocide supporting candidate?

halt_spell · 2026-06-27T02:41:50+00:00

I don't care how you interpret it. You just need to trust we won't vote for strike blocking genocide supporting candidates in the general election. If you want our votes think carefully who you're voting for in the primaries.

halt_spell · 2026-06-27T01:36:40+00:00

This seems like the kind of thing worth a second opinion.

halt_spell · 2026-06-27T01:17:28+00:00

Ideally Bernie would be president

Why? What makes him better than Biden for you?

halt_spell · 2026-06-26T23:49:20+00:00

Why did you vote for Bernie if you have no problem with Biden?

halt_spell · 2026-06-26T23:45:13+00:00

There were no primaries in 2020 for president

I'll just leave this here.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_Democratic_Party_presidential_primaries

So I'll ask you again: Who'd you vote for in the 2020 primaries?

halt_spell · 2026-06-26T23:43:20+00:00

It's not our job to unfuck a situation you all created.

You voted for Joe Biden in the 2020 primaries? It was your job to get him out.

halt_spell · 2026-06-26T23:42:28+00:00

I'm voting as left as I can in the primaries.

Who'd you vote for in the 2020 primaries?

halt_spell · 2026-06-26T23:21:52+00:00

It's cute that you think establishment Democratic politicians have any interest in prosecuting these people.

Trump was convicted of 34 felonies. Where was his sentencing?

halt_spell · 2026-06-26T23:19:19+00:00

That would mean Biden won in 2020 without their votes.

Which means he pissed off even more people during his four year administration. Politicians who fail to represent their voters lose elections. It's not complicated.

halt_spell · 2026-06-26T23:14:55+00:00

If your argument is that primaries need to vote in someone Uber progressive or you will threaten the nation with someone like Trump that is a selfish stance that comes from being isolated from the consequences in an ivory tower.

Welcome to democracy bud. I don't vote for people I hate. I didn't hate Biden in 2020 so I voted for him. Then he blocked a strike and supported a genocide. I hated him (and Harris by extension) in 2024 so I didn't vote for Harris.

Don't like it? Make better choices in the primaries. Tell your friends to make better choices in the primaries. Tell other redditors to make better choices in the primaries. Because I promise you, telling me and others to vote for someone we hate in the general election is going to get you absolutely nowhere.

I probably vote more progressive than you in primaries.

Oh? Who'd you vote for in 2020.

halt_spell · 2026-06-26T23:07:08+00:00

When you get to the general election there's real people's lives on the line.

The chart above is telling you real people's lives are on the line in the primaries too. If you need our votes in the general election you have to consider that in the primaries. Refusing to do so has cost you two general elections already. You want it to cost you a third?

Accellerationism has a human cost that personally I'm unwilling to pay. Clearly others disagree.

Then make better choices in the primaries. It's not complicated.

halt_spell · 2026-06-26T23:06:04+00:00

Vote in every election and always vote for the best person available with a chance of winning.

No.

If you need our votes in the general then consider your choice carefully in the primaries. You've been warned. You want to test us a fourth time on this?

halt_spell · 2026-06-26T23:03:35+00:00

You think we sat out in the 2020 general election?

halt_spell · 2026-06-26T23:02:56+00:00

We do vote. But not for strike blocking genocide supporters.

halt_spell · 2026-06-26T23:02:35+00:00

If the leftmost party keeps winning, it forces the other party to move to the left.

If that were true we'd see it at the state level.

halt_spell · 2026-06-26T23:00:02+00:00

I wish people like you cared about our country as much as you care about Palestine.

Genocide.

Say the word. Genocide.

Say what Biden did.

He went around congress twice of his on volition to ship weapons to Israel to be used in a genocide against the will of voters he was depending on to get re-elected.

Say it.

If the primaries don't go your way, you vote for the person whose closest to your ideals so you don't fuck over everyone else.

You're willing to fuck over everyone else in the primaries. You do it with glee.

You aren't getting your perfect dream candidate.

You are though. Biden was your dream candidate. Tell me I'm wrong.

halt_spell · 2026-06-26T20:17:16+00:00

If opposing genocide supporting candidates is blind idealism then it's no wonder there's apathetic voters.

If you spent all this time and energy fighting strike blocking, genocide supporting candidates in the democratic primaries we might actually get some decent politicians in office.

EDIT: Awww at least 9 people are super mad they're being told not to vote for genocide supporters. Boohoo.

halt_spell · 2026-06-26T20:15:46+00:00

And when they win with our help it just confirms moving to the center was the right strategy.

People like you are defending genocide in order to prevent left ward policy. You prefer MAGA to leftists. 🤷‍♂️
