    Over the last few months it’s become clear to me that Trump is the cudgel with which any leftist discourse is shut down. The ultimate free pass for corporate Democrats.

      Welcome to the two party system. If you want to change it’s gonna take a whole lot more than just voting, but if the left can’t even do that then we’re fucking doomed.

        Oh no, even when you vote you get cudgeled. No dissent is allowed. Which is frankly disappointing.

          I don’t know what you’re talking about. I mostly see people clapping back to tankies blatantly trying to convince leftists not to vote.

            Sure, that’s a pretty easy observation when you classify any attempt to hold politicians responsible as “blatantly trying to convince leftists not to vote.”
