Why are libs so determined to make Americans accept their dog shit platform? I hate it so much, stop guilt tripping non voters for wanting out of your fucked dystopic shit hole political system. It's not the non voters fault any of this is happening.

"Guilt tripping" I don't give a shit how guilty they are.

I simply I hate them, they are shitty people. There is no amount of guilt they could feel that would change that. They have done incredible damage through their apathy or abstemiousness, hurt countless people immediately and in the future. They've hurt millions of people. They've hurt people I love. They've hurt me.

FUCK THEM.

The idea that "not voting" is them doing anything to "get out of our dystopic shit hole political system" is aggressively fucking stupid.

It doesn't matter if I convince them that they were wrong now. We already got the bad result. Us getting democrats in office (or hell, even someone actually progressive) in the midterms and even the presidency in the future will barely put a dent into the massive damage that has been done. They've successfully dragged people into a sea of shit and we're probably all going to drown in it.

Damn, all that hate is better saved for people actually committing harm. If all the dems can offer is 'yeah but they're way worse' then don't get mad when people stay at home. If the Dems want votes, maybe stop blaming non voters and I don't know, motivate them with something?

You don't understand. The harm is coming. There isn't much we can do now. It hardly even matters who wins in future elections at this point, the amount even the most progressive admin could do for decades is a tiny dent. All progressivism can achieve now is hospice care. Give us a metaphorically better drug as things get progressively worse.

The environment is collapsing. We've alienated all of our allies. We've allowed AI corporations to capture massive amounts of value with a direct threat to the working person's employment. America's aging demographics and newly massively expanded debt is going to cripple any kind of ability for a progressive government to make the average person's life worth living. Trump and his fascist buddies are going to get mostly away with it, submitting our country to future grifters who realize they'll suffer no consequences. They very core of our government structure now in a iron grip of fascist judges spread across ever nook and cranny, virtually impossible to remove. Dooming us to conservative social policy for the rest of our miserable fucking lives.

And for what? Palestine is as hellish as ever, if not far worse. And now we're at war with Iran.

We lost, and you are just coping. We will both burn slowly and painfully. And I'll know I tried to avoid this and know people like yourself did not.

I am disgusted at rightwing and zionist democrats, and I tell them such. I tell them I hate them as well. On the internet at least. But they aren't here and I also hate non-voters. And non-voting people are actually all around me. I'm reminded of their petulant stupidity constantly. They're all over Lemmy. They fill my small city's bar's with their bullshit "Both sides bad" rhetoric. I talk to them in person frequently, though I'd be a pariah if I admitted to them what I think of either group, but the vast majority of the stupidity is from the non-voters.

Spoken like Putin's footstool.

If you're going to hide on a .world account, don't give the game away with a shitty tankie username.

My username is an obvious oxymoron mate... Come on now.
