You fundamentally misunderstand why I used to care and now don't. I don't believe in virtue ethics, I don't even believe in free will.
Before it mattered if they won because it'd (maybe) prevent doom. Now I don't see a way out. Its consequences that matter and we're now signed up for the worst consequences regardless.
I already wasted 20 years of my life in sacrifice to politics. I want to be done and other than venting about how we're doomed I more or less am done, thank you.
I hope I'm wrong, and I earnestly wish her luck but I do not owe a population of people who chose Trump a single solitary fucking thing. I'm bitter, exhausted, and my patience is gone.
No you fucking ingrate. Democrats would have lost if they listened to them anyway. The tik tok voters were never going to vote for democrats, that would be against their sense of virtue. Harris fucked up a ton by not distancing herself from conservatives and Biden but even she tried to throw the Palestinian protesters a bone at one point and there wasn't a singular budge.
The reason the DNC lost is many. The blame for the end of US democracy is easily spread around because there are many people deserving of blame. It doesn't really matter anymore anyway though does it?
I say this as an autist who used to fucking loathe talking on the phone: Its that the phone takes up too much mental energy and time, yet has a time limit on your own responses. Its hellishly stressful when you are socially incompetent, and now a lot of even non-autistic people are becoming socially incompetent.
Now its funny, I hated phone calls back when everyone liked them. Now I'm pretty OK at them because I worked at a call center for a year and now it seems like everyone now hates phone calls. I kinda recognize that the one nice thing about phone calls is there is no "set up your account before ordering your food" type bullshit. There is a consistency to phone calls.
Its a mistaken desire to not have to actually work to live via turning hobbies into one's job. The phrase "If you enjoy what you do you'll never work again in your life" in application.
I am a leftist. I hate the DNC. I hate apolitical dimwits. And I hate virtue voters and protest voters. I canvassed for democrats in a delusional bid to maintain my sanity this election and I will never do that again. I don't care if the democrats ever "win again" now. It doesn't matter you imbecile, we're doomed.
I don't fathom how you don't understand this. Its fucking over. Are you not paying attention?
Emotionally I'm not inclined to place another iota of effort into politics. I feel like I've wasted 20 years of my life obsessing over it.
And with that I have zero desire to forgive anyone even slightly responsible for Trump's victory. I don't owe anyone shit, I did not choose to be born.
I'm sure you've heard this before but doing that under a first past the post voting system was painfully stupid.
And before you say I'm rude or causing a break down in leftist unity by calling you stupid: I'm not going to dance around my honest thoughts anymore. I don't care what happens anymore. My political tact has left my body because the world is probably fucking doomed now anyway so who cares.
Understandable.
