    “Everybody who doesn’t obey the party is a foreign threat” just doesn’t hit the way you think it does, bud.

      It’s been that way for years. Everyone not contributing to the prescribed echo chamber is a bot, Russian bot, paid by Putin, a child that needs to sit down and shut up, or MAGA. Many times all of the above.

        I’d imagine these people would vote for democrats and are trying to push them to be “right” so they can feel more comfortable voting for them. They have no connection to, or desire to vote for The Right as far as I can tell. They more than likely know there is no changing them so they focus their efforts where they feel they can make a difference.

          That’s a dangerous assumption in an election year where even if they do not vote R, they may not vote at all (this is a position voiced by many, and prevalent in pop culture) which could hand the election to “America’s Hitler”.

          This year, criticism should be levied against both parties, and that’s not happening. Republicans in congress literally just applauded the genocide.

          Next year, assuming Harris wins, continue to protest their position.

            It’s always ‘do it our way this time because it’s the most important election of our lifetimes, and we can do it your way next time,’ next time never comes because they will always provide a big scary monster under the bed to keep you terrified. Keeping you terrified of what might happen prevents you from focusing on how shitty things are right now and fighting against it

              Did I say “do it our way”? No, I said be critical where it is deserved, both parties. These protests target the Democrats.

              Both parties are on the wrong side of this issue.

        You are facing a great stone cube and a great stone sphere both of equal weight. Moving either of them will open a door freeing you from a tomb. Which do you push?

          This is an oversimplification that ignores important context. Pushing the sphere doesn’t open the door if the sphere is not in power.
