Welcome to all not wanting to vote, not able to vote or just annoyed by the US presidential election taking over Lemmy and other social media.

Coming here to argue about voting will result in a ban.

Be kind to each other & follow the server rules.

Be specifically aware that not everyone here is from the so called USA.

Text: screenshot of a Tumblr thread reading:

Every day I am forced to confront that the the Democratic Party won the White House and Congress in 2020 and instead of doing the smart thing and ending the filibuster, packing the court, and going scorched Earth on the GOP which, mind you, had just tried to overthrow the election, they kicked back and proceeded to do absolutely nothing of note except cut a blank check for the most televised genocide of the last 30 years.

A disciplined party could have un-fucked everything trump did in the span of a few month, but they chose not to. They chose not to, and now we're all paying for it.

The purpose of a system is what it does.

If I wanted to waste my money- it put it towards supporting untested and unproven 3rd party candidates...

Yet you are more than willing to waste your money on supporting a party that has proven that they are't willing to defeat a corrupt administration, even when they have all the power?

What’s Jill Stein been up to lately? Anyone know? Cornell West? Anyone?

Giving speeches, teaching, doing interviews and debates. I know, because I saw them. It turns out, that when you don't pay attention to someone, you end up not knowing what they are doing.

Sure ya did.

And if only speeches moved mountains, eh? She’s every bit as ineffective as any establishment democrat you could name.

But you do you.

Best of luck!

I don't disagree. But here you are, shitting on people who actually want fascism to stop.

But you do you.

Lol. What would you do if you couldn’t argue against your own rewritten revision of someone else’s argument?
