TIL polar bears are fucking _massive_

Would they have called that constellation Ursa Major if not for the presence of bears in that direction? Maybe the constellation naming was like, "don't go too far towards bear country if you don't want to deal with bears that think of humans as food." "Bears this way. Bears ahead."

When a normal, rational person encounters many people ('you are all saying...') behaving the same way, that rational person has the self awareness to reconsider their position. For example, "Hmm. If all these people are behaving this way, could I be the outlier?" You are incapable of such introspection.

You suck at being a citizen and you don't know what fascism is. You (yes you!) are the reason the USA has a fascism problem and none of the other liberal democracies in the world do. What the actual fuck is wrong with you? All you have to do is vote for not-fascism and then promote actual-leftism come primary season, and you can't even do that.

I hope you know you're responsible for hundreds of millions of dead poor people.

This wasn't much of an argument. I think you need to calm down. Support your thesis with examples, explain them, draw conclusions, etc. You sound hysterical and condescending at the same time, which is an interesting juxtaposition.

A month before an election!? BlooMAGA, amirite???

lmao I got called "Blue MAGA" for encouraging strategic voting just yesterday. I was a card carrying member of DSA before it was cool.

You can tell an election is coming up because all the bots and shills crawl out of the woodwork to start arguments between centrist Democrats and progressive leftists. I'm often disappointed by Status Quo Democrats but I'll take a status quo that doesn't work well enough for everyone over a lurch towards fascism that intends to claw back every right we've secured since the 1860's and eagerly steal the territory and resources of middle powers... and do it all fucking incompetently.

Blue while in power:

Obama

Recovered from the largest economic crash since 1929, passed sweeping healthcare reform, saved the union-heavy domestic auto industry, established the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to protect borrowers from predatory lending practices and prevent another Great Recession...

Biden

Passed law to build infrastructure and green energy, funneled subsidies only to companies with organized labor, made it possible to negotiate the price of pharmaceuticals starting with insulin, enacted a measure to reduce GHG emissions by 40% by 2030, actually pulled out of Afghanistan, finally, passed healthcare and disability for service members and their families for injuries caused my toxic chemicals, stimulated domestic semiconductor manufacturing, appointed trans and BIPOC in his government, wielded antitrust action to get rid of junk fees and hidden fees, blocked several harmful corporate mergers, recovered the economy after COVID and brought down inflation without triggering a recession, which economists thought was impossible...

Yeah they don't do anything guys...

Both of these were in spans of two years because the people who elect Democrats are too lazy or stupid to vote in midterms.
