It's impossible to have a conversation here without a half dozen people chiming in with "ackshually!
I, and every other neuro-normal person knew what you meant. I'd wager the commenter did too they just didn't know how to contribute because the social skills thing.
Seriously if anything good can come from this the U.S. needs to stop fucking around with other countries sovereignty and handle it's own affairs for a few decades.
It’s certainly easy for people who want the status quo to never change to demand an endgame from those that want it to change.
That's an incorrect assumption and doesn't answer the question.
You want constructive? Ok. Gee, it’s great how the “good” party is supporting genocide. Best shit ever. Glad they were willing to go to bat for Netanyahu even though it meant losing to Trump.
Your candidate (remember you said you voted Harris) supported that so gtfo with your righteous indignation. If you want to play that game you're to blame as well.
I don’t expect her to be exempt from criticism, and I don’t scream that anyone who doesn’t love genocide and only genocide like you do is a Russian like you did in our other conversation.
OK? Criticize all you like, that's what I was doing before you decided that somehow YOUR support for Harris was different than every other persons on lemmy.
So I'll ask again, how did you support Harris but aren't a genocide supporting democratic voter but think others are?
The republican party is constantly able to dominate the conversation. Every election cycle they decide whether immigration/economics/war/whatever is what will be discussed and the democrats try to play defense instead of just calling them out.
"Death panels already exist do you want them to be purely for-profit?" it's not even that hard they're just incompetent.
I see you talking a lot of shit but you don't actually have anything constructive to say. Makes it look like you're just arguing in bad faith or worse.
I have a question for you: how is your support of Harris any different than anyone elses?
YOUR party lost by trying to be Republican-lite and not running on more progressive policies. I don't care what you consider yourself (any more than you care about me).
It'd be cool if we could have productive conversations here but I think it's becoming very apparent why the Democratic party lost and especially why "the left" will never make any progress in the U.S., the only firing squad the left can muster forms in a circle.
I don't disagree with anything you've said except.
Continuing to try and shame voters for not supporting your candidate isn’t going to accomplish anything
Who was MY candidate? I had to vote for the same milquetoast dem every other functional adult did. I weighed the options and made a decision. If some hypothetical non-voters think they have a better solution let's see it, they should be ashamed. Sitting in basements screeching online doesn't accomplish anything so let's fucking go.
I'm just waiting for the revolution to start, that's what we all want right?
I'm not sure those voters exist. Lemmy thinks that they do but i don't see any evidence that they're real people.
At any rate there's little difference between not-voting and not-existing in the grand scheme so now we get to see what happens when an unashamed fascist wins and surrounds himself with yes men.
Unless those principled non-voters are ready to arm themselves and actually agitate, they might as well not exist and we can proceed accordingly.
"other reasons I’ve heard that don’t involve the economy and low information voters."
Seems pretty obvious, lemmy is just a weird toxic place where everyone jumps at the chance to argue with any comment even though we all agree about 90% of this stuff.
