"Four years ago, I was baffled as to why Hillary supporters and others would vote for her. I didn't understand why they didn't understand what's at stake and why they would support the political establishment crushing this country.
We keep yelling about capitalism, the crumbling state of America's unions, trans rights, police brutality, healthcare reform, and climate change to no avail. What I have recently realized, is that they don't share the same underlying goals and motivations as us.
I think it's safe to say that we see politics as a means to an end. To influence real life outcome because the people in power have effects [over] real peoples lives.
For the Hillary/Biden people, they don't share this. For them, politics is about affirming an identity. That identity is some morally superior, pro-establishment, support of capitalism. Voting for a third party doesn't allow them to do this.
They care about who everyone else thinks they are. They want to signal how "moderate", how "reasonable," how "righteous" they are to the rest of the world.
We want to make a difference. They want to make a point.
We care about what happens to people's lives. They care about how they feel about themselves.

That is why they don't care about winning."
This is a perfect rebuttal to that liberal vomit.
I’m going to post this in that thread and see what happens, wish me luck!
Had to post from my horny alt because my shitposting account was already banned I guess
"You can just replace "Berners" with " Hillary/Biden voters" and make it true.
It doesn't work that way, TROLL.
PS: keep fucking FAPPING."
About as weak a response as I expected
It’s literally not possible for a liberal to put forward a coherent argument against a leftist, so they just fight back like middle schoolers lol
