OP, stop blaming the victim. She got lied to and betrayed. She isn't voting for the rapist again.
This is a prime example when we, the actual leftists, say: Electoralism is fascist praxis.
Stop demanding justice in First Past the Post Representation.
I'd be a bit less mad at neutral voters if they did any direct action. Everyone I know who goes to protests and does arrestable actions also votes. But every non voter I know doesn't do anything of the sort. They think abstaining is the only thing they need to do. The voter abstinence movement is a distraction to keep people from doing direct action.
You haven't read? It's illegal to do both!
Now how will you directly act against Nazism?
Lied to by who? Everyone knew Donald and Jeff were bffs.
If she didn’t, she should have done some homework.
Don’t infantilize a grown woman.
To Jena Lisa Jones, the survivor of the child eating raping island, who only sought Trump as the only candidate that platformed releasing the files: Because Kamala Harris wouldn't.
You and I knew Trump was bfffne with Jeffrey, but she never connected the two, or the digressive victimhood of Trump. Only 15% of the 🇺🇲 population had the cognitive skills to connect Trump with her rapists.
When I say, you & I, I mean it: we are a minority.
Now you're expecting the abused to be able to read, and research.
Have you ever tried teaching an illiterate person how to read as a late adult‽
This is why I only very superficially engage with lemmy, I'm often reminded just how heartless and rigid people are here. It's so often worse than the reddit I left.
Anyone who has known a victim of child sexual assault will know just how deeply it can ruin a person, I can understand why she voted how she did regardless of how wrong she was. What's wrong with the people who can't understand this?
😭🫂🫂
I have to calisthenics the opposite, because I despise comrades getting killed.
Even against the odds, I speak out.
May our intersections solidify us stronger✊🏿
Wut.
wait, your reading comprehension is below mines‽
You win. There was definitely no way to know Donald was a pedophile rapist in 2016. Or 2020. Or 2024.
This isn't about winning you 🤬. If you can't teach the illiterate how to spot liars and rapists, you will get Donald Trumps over and over again.
This is a literacy problem, and you're blaming the illiterate for not knowing how to research.
