1/3 of the population thinks this is acceptable behavior for a leader. And another 1/3 can’t make up their mind either way. This is why we’re doomed as a country.
The middle 1/3rd are mad that Kamala didn't support the Israel enough, or didn't support Palestine enough, or didn't show up on enough $their_favorite_show.
There is also a substantial portion who just do not care or don't think it matters.
My favorites are the ones who would actually be good folks to get involved and run but just don't because it's setup to fuck over folks like that.
As you said, we're doomed as a country.
they made up a very small part of voters, most of them dint bother voting because they dint notice it or they said it doesnt affect them there and now.
Well kamala is brown and a female, and she's not even famous, how are Americans supposed to vote for her?
How dare people not vote for someone who supports a genocide?
gee you seem like such a fucking gem.
perhaps instead of getting teen-angsty about having to sign up for selective service and having the privilege and responsibility of participating in the democratic process you could lift poor emily up - but I guess seeing your example of it may have soured her on the entire thing.
I'm not trying to be mean, but the mind that votes for obama and clinton, but then types this out - maybe you've got some issues to work out. don't get me wrong, I've known insufferable people male and female that drove me up the wall - but I didn't take my anger out on an entire gender.
This isn't an attack, but like, "typical woman shit." makes me wonder about the honesty of everything else.
nah. typical asshole shit.
First off, maybe stop acting like you run the place. With her gone, you'd more than likely have to do thrice the work you do now. Second, maybe just be a decent human being? You do not get to decide to get another person to vote. You can talk with them, shwo them things you hate in the world, things you love in the world, and then bring that over into politics. But I suppose your retarded angry brain is too stupid to think of communication as a tool to progress to a better thought.
no, you dated a vapid person and indicted an entire fuckin' gender.
Tbh this sounds like an issue with you rather than with women in general. And what does this have to do with voting???
Gee, I've given it some thought and the verdict seems to be: typical asshole shit.
This, but genuinely. If you think your "lived experience" (cute) gives you a rational position from which to denigrate half of the people on the entire planet with transparently fragile misogyny, you're just broken.
TL;DR
Hi, I'm lost. Where is anyone defending not voting?
Also, where did she post on Lemmy so I can yell at her?
Oh, also also, you should be nicer to people, especially women.
Do we look like your therapist? How embarrassing this should be for you. How fortunate for you that you cannot feel it. How unfortunate for us.
LOL, I got here after the comment was removed so I've no idea what they said, but immediately recognized the username from them being a dick and their posts being removed by a mod on another thread.
Amusingly (or perhaps despairingly) I notice they're also a mod themselves in another community...
