Blue maga my ass. How about just being sick and tired of watching things be OBJECTIVELY WORSE now than they would've been under Harris?

So it wouldn't have been a wet-dream progressive paradise. We wouldn't have a paramilitary force with no oversight murdering people in the streets and putting people in cages, we wouldn't have women having to travel across state lines under threat of murder charges to get abortions...

But no, it's not about human dignity... it's because people really just want to bend over for the DNC. Your take is insane and disingenuous and I'm sick and tired of hearing it. Don't bother responding - I'm so sick and tired of the absolute nonsense from you people that I abandoned the country and moved out. Enjoy whatever the hell it is you think you're accomplishing.

The comic is not about making people not vote. The original context is Lucy yoinking the ball every time Charlie tries to kick it. They're calling out the DNC for being a manipulative dickhead that refuses to do their job and breaks promises despite trying to vote for them at every turn. Don't blame progressives for allegedly not voting, because they ARE voting. The DNC is the one who isn't doing SHIT despite being voted for to DO something.

Those of us who voted for her and tried to warn you that genocide was a losing issue are tired of being blamed for her loss.

No one is blaming you for her loss if you voted for her, dumbass.

You sound like a conservative with all the victimhood.

Have you considered that things get pretty complicated when one of your most valuable allies starts doing fucked up shit? Abandon them and lose the allegiance and MAYBE win an election? Remain an ally while voicing your disapproval and hope that voters grasp that a felon rapist and party of traitors is far worse for the nation?

Complicated.

But it's easy for you, just call everyone genociders. You voted for her dipshit. You're a genocider too as far as you're concerned. Go punish yourself.

Dude, read the thread you're in. We've got at least one person calling me a pedo because I had a problem with genocide.

Genocidal centrists: "You can vote for a candidate without supporting everything they stand for!"

Also genocidal centrists:

You voted for her dipshit. You’re a genocider too as far as you’re concerned. Go punish yourself.

You're carrying water for her. You don't have to. But she supported genocide and that's all you're about.

Everyone I disagree with loves genocide!

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world -1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

It's not unfair to say that people who carry water for candidates who support genocide long after the election is over support genocide, since they're still supporting genocidal candidates when nothing else is at stake.

[–] NerdyTimesOrWhatever@lemmy.today 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

This I can somewhat agree with. Thats why I said we need a new method of voting. Supporting someone for being "less murdery" is insane. It doesnt mean you or I, who voted for (despite having issues with) Harris, are evil or support genocide.

Undefined centrist democrats are also not a monolith, saying they all have the same opinions says a lot of weird stuff about you that Im sure arent true. You just havent thought about how youre classifying "enemies" or how you view groups who generally disagree with you.

Its like hating pizza because some of them have pineapples on them, or because some are too cheesy. Well, thats a chill version at least.

Unless supporting genocide and wanting to be represented by genocidal monsters is the only qualifier? Id agree with you there, but still say tone down the agressive "you must like genocide" meter.

The leaders of the centrist wing support genocide. Schumer, Biden, Harris, the entire group that caucuses with Republicans to spam money at Israel. Anyone who sticks with them doesn't have a problem with that.

lol all that whining and you didn’t even stay in the country.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone -4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I think they sat out or voted third party in 2024, and they are just not capable of facing the reality of the consequences of their action (or inaction).

I truly think it's a sort of defense mechanism. They cannot accept that they may be partially responsible, therefore they must be correct and everyone else is "blue MAGA" or whatever.

It's sad, actually. And super destructive.

Trump appreciates your support.

[–] Wakmrow@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

A vote for third parties is a vote for Trump?
