    Buddy, if you knew the stakes and still chose not to vote because of some moral quandary or, and this is my favorite excuse that I’ve heard so many times here on Lemmy, because the Dems need to “learn a lesson,” you hold just as much blame as anyone. Waiting out Trump’s ancient ass in a world that isn’t on fire before trying to force change was just too good for you, and now we’re all gonna fucking burn for your idealism and need for immediate gratification.


  • In both instances, they relegated Sanders to the background. Don’t get me wrong, his ideals are more extreme for sure. Better without a doubt, but extreme enough to potentially split the vote with uninformed voters. The other candidate was generally a safer choice, and so they were the candidate everyone heard about, while Sanders was largely kept out of the public eye.

    That said, a leftist with a braincell would understand that even the worst Dem is better than Trump, and that the destruction Trump could cause far outweighs the need for the Dems to learn a lesson. Keep things at least fucking livable until Trump’s ancient, clogged up heart gives in, and then make a fucking point, don’t burn the whole world down.

    Simple, because those are the people it should matter to. Those are the people with the most to lose. Those are the people who are more likely to have LGBTQ+ friends and family. The moderates don’t give a shit and should never have been catered to in the first place, but these people tossed aside the people and things they claim to love in order to make a stand. That’s why I expect more from them, because they’re in a position to be more hurt by it.

    I would urge you to remember that this post itself is a meme. Of course “a few leftists making memes” isn’t the root cause, it’s just one that I personally witnessed swaying people and that particularly pisses me off.

    And yes, the Dems could’ve and should’ve done better, but I would like to be able to believe that people are smart enough to not commit suicide by apathy, and I feel justified in being pissed off at those who dragged the whole country down by failing to show a little self-preservation instinct.

    I find it amazing that no one seems to have any sense of… well, really, fucking anything anymore. Self-preservation, empathy, pragmatism, whatever. It amazes me that people can sit by and let the place burn around them, and then turn around and say, “Hey, maybe you should’ve made me want to save myself and my neighbors.”




  • It was a statement and yours was crying, tone defines how people take it.

    It’s called accusing, as in calling you out for your blatant hypocrisy.

    Dk what you mean by projecting cause I’m neither in America nor Palestine.

    Surely you can’t be this dense? You can’t actually believe that’s what I meant, can you? That’s plainly stupid. You’re projecting because you show the exact lack of empathy you accuse others of.

    Were all american lgbt people exiled in 2016?

    Were there bounties on trans people prior to 2016? Were there blanket bans on abortion? Were there calls to bring back fucking asbestos? It’s called escalation.

    What stance did I take that increases the genocide?

    The same one that drove 20 million more people to abstain from voting than four years ago, leading to Trump’s win.

    Are libs so brainwashed, that they can’t comprehend anything except voting any one of the two?

    Don’t comment on things that you’re this clueless about.

    Can you reference any climate change policies biden govt implemented that may reap benifits?

    Nope, but you know what I can reference? Trump policies that had detrimental effects on the clime, such as withdrawing from the Paris agreement. Didn’t see that kind of shit under Biden.

    All I’m saying people should unite to end this stupid capitalist capitalist world.

    “All I’m saying is that the half of the US that gives a shit should stand up against both the other half and the government itself!” It’s not 1793, we can’t just behead our leader and start fresh. Besides, you sure as shit said a lot more than just that.



  • They don’t care as long as it doesn’t affect them.

    That’s you one post ago. Looks like someone was projecting.

    Lets clarify your stance here. Dems are brainwashed and don’t care about Gaza because it doesn’t affect them… but you don’t care about what happens to Americans because it doesn’t affect you… 🤔
    You’re taking a stance against genocide in Gaza… but that same stance indirectly extends the genocide… 🤔

    And that’s not to mention the longer term affects caused by Trump’s stance on things like fossil fuels and climate change.
