Lemmings in blue states, are you scared that you might get at the national level what you keep callously saying we deserve?

Because maybe if you had some fucking solidarity, there would be fewer red states. We're doing shitty, thank you for all the nothing, and you'll be right there with us soon.

Is this meant to be from the perspective of a right winger or a communist critique on class solidarity?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 hours ago

This is from the perspective of a blue voter in a red state. As long as something is a Red State Problem, Democrats in blue states figure that everyone in the state likes things as they are and deserves it.

If there was some solidarity with workers nationwide and not just in your own states. If there was solidarity with trans people instead of Democratic candidates parroting rightwing hate about "boys in girls sports." If there was solidarity on cannabis or abortion. If there were tangible benefits Democrats could point to that people in red states actually experienced, there would be fewer red states.

But no. Everyone in a red state deserves to be abandoned, regardless of how they vote.

They get it, you deserve it.

Of course they're getting it, because they have been made the boogie man that made your state vote hate to harm them

I suspect because of envy

Have you considered that not everyone in red states are Republicans?

I don't believe you after that statement. That's at least two deadly sins.
