We have a lot of fucking liberal ass losers in here. Must be election season.

Liberals have pulled this "You'd better vote for us because the other guy will literally kill you if they win!" thing since the 60s, they've just shifted around the minority group they target with their threats.

Maybe if liberals wanted a coalition with leftists, they'd try to do more than piss on our heads and say it's raining. You wanna vote for genocide Joe, that's your prerogative. But don't come in here and try to guilt me into voting for your boy who's out here running guns to a fascist ethnostate, who has done NOTHING to protect those minority groups, who's still building a wall, who's still raising the military/ICE budgets, and try to act like you're some high and mighty, moralistic motherfucker.

You want blue team to win because you think it's "harm reduction" to wait 10-15 years to implement whatever terrible thing conservatives want to do today.

Don't believe me? How's that border wall thing going?

In the same vein, liberals always seem to forget that it was Biden, not Trump, who outlawed abortion.

It's honestly wild how often I've seen libs bring up protecting abortion rights as an argument to vote FOR Joe Biden The Guy Who Let Roe V Wade Get Overturned

I've been anticipating this since the court decision but it still pisses me off

How can they be so braindead? If Genocide Joe wanted to protect abortion rights he would have

Holy shit, this. It would be awesome if we got in a position where we could call liberals' bluff. They claim they're progressive like us but whenever its time to do anything they always worry about "what would the republicans think?" as if they're too worried they're going to end up in an SJW cringe compilation.

It reminds me of innuendo studios alt-right playbook. Liberals are too concerned with taking the moral high ground to use these underhanded, but effective tactics the right does against them. In particular, I want to shout out this part of Innuendo Studios called the Cost of doing business. Democrats may not have to agree with us on paper, but if they want money and power, they would have to put up with us. Here's Innuendo Studios explaining it from the right's machine.. If it's possible, I would point this out that alienating progressives costs elections instead of embracing progressives, look at the rising union movement: only a fool would never take advantage of that, and here come the right ready to explain to them to blame Jews.

The alt-right playbook is half of why I am a communism. When he said "If you want to fight fascism, move left." I know it seems obvious to us but it was a reaffirmation of decades of feelings I had but hadn't educated myself yet enough to put into words.

Anyone talking about harm reduction in the context of the Democratic Party needs to get a ban, cause that shit is straight up just fascist apologia at this late date

Makes about as much sense as some dork from 2012 talking about harm reduction by voting for Ron Paul

Speaking of the border wall which party did the person belong to who recently actually proposed ending the asylum program.

As someone in the demographics liberals say Trump will put in death camps:

Bring it. I've been psychologically prepared for this since the War on Terror made it clear that people like me can never be safe in America. I'm not bothered. You know who is? The fucking white liberals who are afraid Trump will take away the privileges they enjoy that normal people like me never had.

This is all projection on their part. That's why they're so upset when we say we won't be complicit in genocide. They know they can't admit they're worried about themselves because it looks bad, so they try to use us minorities as scapegoats for why they support genocide instead -- but when you peel back all their rhetoric, it's obvious that the White Liberal is too self-absorbed to care about anyone other than themself.
