Alligator Auschwitz is something that has you pearl clutching?To piggyback off this point: lots of people didnt even die from gas chambers and shit. They died from poor conditions and a blatant disregard for their humanity and needs. Anne Frank died from typhus for fucks sake! I will not be surprised when we start getting news of prisoners dying from similarly poor conditions in this hellhole. Weve already heard whats going on so far.
I don't like extremist rhetoric, but there is nothing extreme about referring to what is a concentration camp as such. Just because it isn't a death camp doesn't mean it shouldn't be referred to as that, because the death campa weren't there day one, it took time for it to escalate to that point.
And we are a lot closer to many aspects of early Nazi Germany than you seem to think, and the idea is to call it out and keep it from progressing further towards that sort of endgame. If that means using strong words to draw a comparison that might make people uncomfortable, then so be it. Because people should be uncomfortable with something like that, on US soil or otherwise. And it needs to be addressed and discussed without mincing words or using polite language.
LightSnake isnt MAGA. Hes a liberal.
LS isnt MAGA. He is a centrist neoliberal who believes the establishment cant do any wrong. Hes had a personal grudge against me for years because of some anti Hillary jokes I made years ago.Same here. Asked that I drop it. For those who remember we remember.

I'm reminded of that scene from the Christopher Nolan Batman movies were a regular ass employee effectively discovers that Bruce Wayne is Batman and Lucius Fox points out that his plan is to Blackmail somebody rich and crazy enough to go out into the middle of the night and beat criminals unconscious.
Man I just dont think we should be using the holocaust to make catch phrases. Its objectively not cool and I dont see how thats a hot take.
Man I just dont think we should be using the holocaust to make catch phrases. Its objectively not cool and I dont see how thats a hot take.Brother, Trump has recently talked about selling captured migrants back to the farmers to make them work for them again. But as slaves. Be for real dude
What I feel a lot of people dont see is that type of rhetoric comes off as extreme. Every action is like the sky is falling. Yes I do agree we are in a humanitarian crisis. With that being said you have to understand how words will land in peoples mind. Is whats going on messed up and needs to stop? Yes. Is whats going on equal to the holocaust? Absolutely not.
Jews in 1940s Germany werent shipped to another country. They were tortured, forced to work and straight up killed. Its objectively not the same and to say it is is disingenuous.
It's not people trying to do edgy humour, it's people trying to get others to fucking see exactly how serious this shit is.
Jews in 1940s Germany werent shipped to another countryYes they were. Auschwitz was in occupied Poland.
Brother, Trump has recently talked about selling captured migrants back to the farmers to make them work for them again. But as slaves. Be for real dude
My guy Im not saying whats going on isnt on that track Im saying the messaging isnt working. Instead of making catch phrasesNobody is just fucking "making catch phrases". What the fuck is wrong with you?
Nobody is just fucking "making catch phrases". What the fuck is wrong with you?
Yes they were. Auschwitz was in occupied Poland.
I get it's just your opinion, it's just a bad opinion. We've been hearing that kind of talk since before 2016, civility doesn't do shit. You give the fascists an inch and they'll take a mile.
Yes they were. Auschwitz was in occupied Poland.Weren't all of them in occupied Poland?
Nobody is just fucking "making catch phrases". What the fuck is wrong with you?
I'm pretty convinced he thinks we're making comparisons to the Holocaust to be edgy and funny or some bullshit.
Weve also been hearing the rhetoric about how the sky is falling since 2016. You can say its a bad opinion all you want but why do you think Democrats lost the 2024 election? At some point you have to be real, face the facts and admit this strategy doesnt work and pivot.
Key word:occupied.Key word is that it was another fucking country
Weve also been hearing the rhetoric about how the sky is falling since 2016.BECAUSE IT FUCKING IS! Donald Trump and the MAGA cult is unequivocally the BIGGEST and most dire existential threat this country has faced since the Civil War. What do you not fucking understand about that?

Mind boggling to me how people have not even thought about why or how we got to this point. You have to adjust.

Calm down. Completely agree. The point is the MESSAGING IS NOT WORKING. That is a fact. Dems dont control any of the three branches.
Calm the fuck down and make a real strategy. Yelling into the void is not helpful. I get it. Now lets come up with a real strategy.

Calm down. Completely agree. The point is the MESSAGING IS NOT WORKING. That is a fact. Dems dont control any of the three branches.The messaging isn't working, as pointed out, because they're being too civil and one moment they will be like "the sky is falling" and then the next moment "Well JD Vance and I agree on most things."
Calm the fuck down and make a real strategy. Yelling into the void is not helpful. I get it. Now lets come up with a real strategy.
"The messaging is not working so we should all ease up and let the fascists control the framing like the Dems have been doing for decades, that surely will fix things!"
You're hopeless dude.
You are the one yelling into the void here
You are the one who has no real strategy other than "blame the left for everything"
you think its more effective to sit here and yell at peoplethat's what you are doing
that's what you are doing
When did I say ease up? I literally said we need boots on the ground and we need to SHOW people whats going on. Thats taking action. But you think its more effective to sit here and yell at people. Serves nobody but Im sure you can sleep better at night pretending you did something. I get the point, I always did. Youre mad for no reason.
I guess Ive never noticed their political takes. But Ive seen them calling nonsense users out on making light of political issues when posting about them in a jokey faux-concerned way so idek lolLightSnake is very far from maga, I don't know what trumble is talking about
Im not blaming anyone. Im pointing out something is factually not effective because it isnt.
Did I vote for Kamala? Yes. And I would again. Do I think she was the best candidate they could have put forth? FUCK NO. You can highlight mistakes and leave it at that.
You guys are ostracizing people with the same feelings as you because you insist on dying on this hill. The Democratic Party is not without fault and this is the time to correct course.
The Democratic Party does need to course correct, and that course correction is to stop letting pearl clutchers like you control them. It's absolutely laughable that you think they're being too divisive when they're still bending over backwards to show how willing to compromise they are even with everything that's happened.
Youre wrong but I really dont care. When this type of rhetoric gets you nowhere come back and we can talk. You guys are so far removed from what average Americans actually talk like and care about.
This is why I said Biden should have released the files. People dont give a shit how much you call everyone a Nazi.
The average American is calling them "woke and weak."
Again, Harris team was at their highest when calling them weird losers. The average American despises weakness and idolizes strength or perceived strength. That's why Trump is so popular. He is popular because he is rude, aggressive, and a bully.

Roast the fuck out of those bums. I just feel some people in that effort get close to acting like MAGA. Will say and do whatever to drive the point. At that point you are exactly what you despise.lmfao what an absolute fucking clownpost
The average American is calling them "woke and weak."B-b-but this poll says Americans didnt respond to that!*
