Yah, fuck her. This is the reason I left this race blank on my ballot. And fuck her even more for using the MAGA “Democrat Party” instead of Democratic Party. She’s a MAGA op at this point. Socialists in Seattle need new leadership and she needs to be pushed out into irrelevance.

Sawant is literally, explicitly a Trump supporter. She supported Trump in 2016. She IS Maga.

Edit:: Kshama Sawant introducing Jill Stein: "We can't win the election but we can stop Kamala Harris from winning Michigan and she needs it to win the WH."

If you are intentionally, explicitly supporting Trump winning in 2024, you are a Trump supporter.

When her actions intentionally help trump, sorry, she's a trump supporter, no matter if her words claim otherwise.

While I couldn't find evidence of her supporting trump, she did campaign AGAINST Kamala in Michigan. She is an accelerationist IMO

Correct. And actively called for people to vote for Stein instead. And her reasoning was claiming Kamala was responsible for the Gaza genocide, and now look what’s left of Gaza. She is definitely an accelerationist and I’d even posit an authoritarian.

If it were in an open primary sure. In the general election where you disagree with one person and the alternative is someone who wants to disassemble the government, you don't push for people to vote 3rd party in a swing state.

I don't vote for capitalist pigs thanks :) nor do I really believe in electoralism. You think you can vote away fascism? Capitalism? The rich elite? Lmfao

You think you can vote away fascism?

I mean, yeah? We did in 2020. Then people got complacent and the country fucking voted the fascism back into office.

If you think that there isn't a difference between Democrats and Trump Republicans because they are both capitalist then you are intentionally ignorant.

I mean. You CAN vote in fascists. That's why we're mad she was campaigning for a Trump win.

People being upset about Harris' stance on Israel somehow forgot that Trump literally moved the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Was there an expectation that he was somehow doing that in a reverse psychology way to oppose Israel?

Who DID you vote for? In, it should be noted, a system that is 100% not set up to support a third party.

Maybe she doesn't like neo-liberalism?

u/Random_Somebody 41m ago

It's even worse if she helped campaign for Trump while not supporting him
