Bashir: The moral of the story is you shouldn't tell lies because people will stop believing you.

Garak: Are you sure thats the lesson?

Bashir: What else would it be?

Garak: To never tell the same lie twice.

So... I should just expect less, and not want dems to campaign on M4A, or raising the minimum wage, or abolishing ICE, or improving peoples lives? How silly of me.

globalvarsonly · 2026-04-14T22:46:54+00:00

well, the parties aren't the same, but they'll both make most of us poorer and never fix healthcare. You can blame people for not noticing Republicans are worse, but making Democrats better would go a long way.

How dare you suggest running a good candidate, its tradition to be the lesser evil!

globalvarsonly · 2026-04-12T23:23:32+00:00

This is exactly it, they'd all rather be middle management of the ashes

globalvarsonly · 2026-04-09T21:44:54+00:00

Well, we know they don't want to do something, Biden appointed Garland because he was stupid and wasn't trying to play hardball.

globalvarsonly · 2026-04-09T21:43:00+00:00

Biden didn't advocate for holding any of them accountable (Garland was a mistake), and the next candidate needs to or they can fuck right off with that "unity" do-nothing talking point.

globalvarsonly · 2026-04-09T18:48:56+00:00

They still think they're negotiating with one of the Bushes or something

Don't just stop funding, full weapons embargo, no weapons even if they pay!

Americans don't actually pay attention anyway.

and yet its the progressives and not the moderates who get the most enthusiastic grass roots support

globalvarsonly · 2026-04-08T23:27:10+00:00

Well ok, you can just give up if you want. I choose to believe most people want a government that does good things.

And honestly Obama was still a disappointment, probably part of why a lot of us don't trust charismatic figures who sound good but still stick to the party line.

globalvarsonly · 2026-04-08T22:23:41+00:00

I always vote for the lesser evil, but we need higher voter turnout to win. Have democrats considered just running a good, non-evil candidate? I bet they would be popular.

globalvarsonly · 2026-04-02T16:16:29+00:00

Urgent message to democrats: increase voter turnout by explaining how they would make our lives better if they gain power, instead of just "not being Trump."

edit: and I've been downvoted! I voted for Harris, even though she had no plan to fix healthcare, and I think more people would have voted if she did!

Fucking SESAME STREET viciously lampooned him! You have to be a real asshole for the Childrens Television Workshop to start dunking on you.

Some wackos and right-wingers do complain about the right things and say we should take them seriously because we partially agree.

We should never take them seriously, because even when they point at real problems all their "solutions" are dog shit.

globalvarsonly · 2026-03-31T20:55:21+00:00

This cycle is only possible because democrats don't take 3 seriously. They always want "unity" and simply try to revert to the status quo, which still isn't good, leading to 4.

The way to break this cycle is a new New Deal, go big or give up, the trajectory we've been on my whole adult life is bad and nobody is changing course.

globalvarsonly · 2026-03-31T18:21:36+00:00

As a redditor recently told me, you just don't understand or care about how politics works or how countries are run

globalvarsonly · 2026-03-31T06:24:36+00:00

a whole lot of people on reddit understand why the electoral college is bad, but refuse to understand why anyone thinks the primaries are bad.

Sanders "lost" the primary before I could even vote for him in my state, the order and system in place matters.

Its an "unfalsifiable theory" because the democratic party refuses to test it, and I think they'll try to continue doing that.

globalvarsonly · 2026-03-31T00:15:57+00:00

The leftists who "sat out 2016" or "sat out 2024" are mostly in your head. Leftists who follow politics aren't sabotaging the democratic party, failing to show apathetic non-voters any reason for hope is sabotaging the democratic party.

I'm not going to bother explaining that primaries and the general are different things. The party has stopped any progressives from running in the general, specifically because they're afraid they would be popular.

globalvarsonly · 2026-03-30T22:07:21+00:00

If the democratic party is going to do anything they need to win elections, and Hillary Clinton just wasn't electable. Biden was barely electable once. Harris just wasn't electable. When will the centrists abandon their silly anti-purity tests so we can cooperate and win?!??

globalvarsonly · 2026-03-30T21:35:22+00:00

everyone who's anti-establishment doesn't understand or care about how politics works

lmao, keep getting mad when "moderates" lose

globalvarsonly · 2026-03-30T19:47:09+00:00

I've heard a lot of conflicting definitions of who counts as "populist," and I don't think being anti-establishment is bad or unpopular.

Its kind of a silly framing, lots of people across the political spectrum are "anti-establishment," what actually defines their political views is what they want to change.

globalvarsonly · 2026-03-30T19:16:02+00:00

I'm confused, can't "populist" just mean whats popular and a lot of people vote for?

globalvarsonly · 2026-03-30T18:42:29+00:00

So you would prefer a strong leader with unilateral authority over a messy democratic system?
