    That is just a lie. I am a socialist.

    I’m also a realist. I don’t expect to get my pony.

    As W.C. Fields once said, “I never vote for, only against.”

      You’re the type of yuppie, out-to-brunch, poser “socialists” that consistently posts hundreds of articles in full throated support of anti-single payer, genocidal, pro-police militarization, racist, brazenly corrupt, hyper-capitalist demagogues with a D next to their name. Just because you’re anti-Trump doesn’t mean you DESERVE that pony.

      I’m actually a socialist and I might have cast a vote for Harris if I lived in Texas (but probably not since I’m in an all blue state) and I have some advice for you: The best way to not look like a fake socialist, hypocrite is not to voice your support for this sham two party system. Don’t support the absolute mockery of democracy that the DNC just forced down our throats, running out the clock on the possibility of a primary in order to force us to support either a candidate with obvious, severe dementia or a politically impotent liar with a career filled with pandering and corruption over Trump. For the record: You clearly fell right in line if we look back at the posts you made before they switched to Kamala. You were like, “I know he has dementia but we have to band together and vote for this puppet made of barely-animated bones and flesh lest we get TRRRRRUMP.”

      You could have just avoided posting these identity politics drenched articles but you did post them. Then you went on to defend the article and fight with fellow socialists (like myself) telling the truth, calling the Dems corrupt in the comments.
