The Delusion of this guy is he thinks not voting is going to help him.
Hey Einstein, you've got a pedophile for president whose policy resulted in millions of deaths by starvation after USAID was cut, environmental policy which is literally decided by oil companies, dismantling of public land protections, gutting of SNAP and Medicaid, the foreign policy stance of "if I can kill people and take it I will", all because more than 6 Million People who voted for a Democrat in 2020 decided NOT to show up in 2024.
You're about as socialist as a hooker on crack.
OP's quote doesn't talk about voting except ONLY in saying that 'liberals' think voting in a Democrat will fix things.
It says nothing about what the 'correct' answer is for them, and your angst is aimed very poorly.
I think getting semantic here is a trap, it's still serving the purpose of casting doubt on the system. Great most days, but when an election is looming this is wrecker shit.
Think the usual 'Democrats are terrible too' schtick doesn't actually work well on Lemmy broadly but now we're going to see things like this where people will start picking apart the words of the text and claiming it isn't what it is.
We're all, mostly, at least a good decent number of us, adults who have seen all this shit before. Yes they said liberals, liberals are centerist poo-poo-ers who want their status quo and don't want to be associated with bad press but not much else, fuck em. But also, Capitalism isn't going to be fixed any time soon, in the meantime, however, one party plays host to at least some number of people trying to actually improve the lives of their constituency and for fucks sake you can't tell me they're just as bad as the partyconsisting exclusively of people openly looting and pillaging the entirety of the nation for personal gain and bald faced cruelty.
Just downvote OP and keep an eye out for people trying to bait.
Again, OP's post says nothing about what the "correct" answer is.
They do not even specify something along the lines of voting for the lesser of two evils. It's a nothing-burger but insulting idiots that act like idiots, and ya'll read what ever the hell you want into it... Sad.
The only people who deserve downvotes are those reading things that are not written there.
There is the strong implication that people who vote DNC thinking things will improve by doing so are all Liberals.
No there isn't. All it says is, "think it will make capitalism work again". Not, "anyone who votes Democrat must agree with liberals."
I swear, reading comprehension is shit these days...
It's either:
The implication is there.
The user depicted is dumb enough to simultaneously support the DNC and talk nothing but shit about them and their constituents.
But the end result is the same: they treat the DNC and Liberals as their enemies.
Not all people voting DNC are liberals. How the fuck is this difficult to understand??
The comment DOES NOT say, "voting for Democrats bad." It says, ONLY that, "liberals will think voting in a Democrat will magically fix capitalism". That's it. That's all.
Again, reading comprehension. Get some.
lmao cope
