Also she wasn't pro palestine enough. I wonder how they're doing.

Teaching dems a lesson by not voting sure paid off

[โ€“] Awooooooga@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Plenty of morons on this website who still think like this. Willing to watch their country turn into a fascist dictatorship to own the libs (only more communist than most Americans are doing it)

But surely it'll work out in the end, because their specific ideology will be what will rise from the ashes, right?

Who said they were teaching Dems a lesson?

That would imply they thought the Dems didn't know why they lost, which seems pretty silly since it was quite obvious.

I really do wonder if any of those abstainers even understand how fucking stupid they are, two years into this shit storm.

Not that it matters, it all feels inevitable, the demos would just sell out their country too, just quieter, as loud ass idiots pull tantrums until their party is in and do this wrecking ball shit anyway. At least this way has kicked people in the ass about the state of the world, if we make it out the other end without too much injury, it might just be a better world...

The abstainers still feel every bit as smug as the 3rd party vote wasters.

No doubt, and I'm sure all of this is very vindicating for them.

Sigh

Well it looked like one of 'em downvoted you before I saw your response. So there you have it.

The ml folk are absolutists when it comes to compromise, I admire the conviction, but the rubber doesn't quite hit the road of reality when you look at the big picture, it's fine, maybe I'm the wrong one

It's funny because they are like, a living museum exhibit of why communism turns out the way it so often does.

I have some people tagged that were ferocious anti kamala, that are now criticizing Trump.

And seeming pretty reasonable whilst doing so.

I don't understand those people

They're both pretty awful, it's not that difficult to understand. Criticism of one is not praise for the other.

You don't understand how someone could be anti-genocide, or anti-empire, or anti-war no matter which candidate is pushing it?

I don't see how it's that hard, if you have principles that transcend parties.

[โ€“] FreeAZ@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If you were actually any of those things you would have voted for the candidate that lead to less genocide, less empire and less war.

I hated Kamala too for all the reasons you listed, but I held my fucking nose and voted for her anyway because I knew any conservative was going to be worse in all those categories and Kamala had the only chance of beating him.

Not voting was the pro-genocide vote. There would be less people dead and less people in fucking concentration camps if Kamala had won.

I did vote for that candidate.

Not voting was the pro-genocide vote.

No, it was the "genocide is fine, I don't care" choice. Voting for Kamala was the pro-genocide choice. She was very clear about that.

There would be less people dead and less people in fucking concentration camps if Kamala had won.

Citation needed. She fully supported Biden when he was bombing kids, and sending immigrants to torture camps. She also said Trump was too soft on Iran.

She wasn't? I wonder why?

I wonder how people defending genocide are doing.

Oh we already know, considering history, that you'd be perfectly fine with it. So there's that.

What is it that you think you have accomplished by doing literally nothing?
