    This is like being smug because you let the dog shit inside to make a point about how you never wanted a dog in the first place.

    At least your purity is intact, and that’s what matters most.

      Nobody let a dog shit anywhere. Trump gained like 3 million votes compared to last time, and Harris/Biden lost like 6 million. You want to blame someone, blame the 77 million openly fascist voters, not the < 1 million third party voters who didn’t make up a sixth of the difference that your genocidal candidate lost by. The fact that you want to go online and pontificate about how the real activists cost the election, when they didn’t, just shows that for you this is all about your ego and has nothing to do with justice or making a better world. You can’t even take responsibility for the absolute monster you did vote for. You can’t even get the facts of the situation straight, that’s how much you really care.

        Bruh I am not the one going into every thread whining about centrists. Right or wrong, acting smug isn’t helpful to all the actual vulnerable people who are about to eat shit. I get that y’all are privileged enough that it doesn’t matter, but how about a bit of empathy for those who aren’t.

          Oh yeah, the old “the only people in the US pointing out that it’s an empire that kills millions of people are privileged” line.

            My point is largely that the hallmark of an internet troll is that they don’t ever engage on any other topics and then change the subject early and often. We are talking about whether it’s productive to come into every thread about US politics and be smug that Donald Trump won, and whether this serves any productive political endgame besides some kind of juvenile accelerationism.

            I’m not sure what empire has to do with it or how you think Donald Trump is going to change that.

            Well of course! You’re privileged to be American! Now pick up that rifle, American Exceptionalism needs to be enforced by violent colonization under the guise of nation building. That IPhone was made in China after all.
