    Let's dunk on the fucking awful take that is "Democrats are not human in any meaningful sense."

    Do you want to piss and moan about horrific shit like child concentration camps, or do you want to close them? Do you want to complain, or do you want to win? There is no path to socialism in America that does not involve converting tens of millions of now-Democrats into leftists. You can't build a mass political movement without recruiting at least a significant chunk of politically active people, and we're sure as shit not going to see Trump chuds turning to socialism en masse. So why the fuck are you dehumanizing Democrats? What could possibly lead you to think that's helpful?

    Rip on individual Democratic ghouls all you want, but don't poison the lib-to-left pipeline while you do it.

        Liberals are not people. People have minds, people can think, people have a sense of right vs wrong. Liberals do not. They are categorically evil and non-human.

      There is no path to socialism where every Dem isn’t in prison. I dehumanize them because they are subhuman. They are the enemy of humanity, and they kill and impoverish without a thought. They are mindless killers. They have no conscience whatsoever. They are not people.

      Acknowledging reality is necessary before we can address the problems.

      As we as we pretend that Dems are potential allies, they will continue killing. We may be doomed anyway, but we are definitely doomed if we don’t face reality.
