I decided to scroll through lemmy dot world and laughed out loud when I read this comment.
I didn’t vote from 2016 onwards and tbh I feel…well, not good, but when I look at the contortions of people like this I feel the distinct lack of this type of evil on my conscience
“as aoc said when arguing why you should vote for biden the first time: you’re not just voting for the person who already gives you everything you want. you’re voting for the person you will argue against, criticize, protest and try to convince to do what you want. out of the two, who do you think is less likely to respond to protests? who’s more likely to be open to dialogue, even if it’s an adversarial one? vote for Harris, then protest the fuck out of her positions you don’t like. maybe with enough pressure you can force some change. with mango mussolini you have no chance.”
My favorite lib strategy. Give up what little leverage you have, give the person you don’t like everything they want, and then complain about it from a position of zero political influence. Also, if you complain well enough to actually require an issue be addressed, you’ll get the full weight of the US legal and enforcement mechanisms on your ass.
who’s more likely to be open to dialogue, even if it’s an adversarial one?
Libs completely ignoring that both Trump and Harris are equally unlikely to listen to the average person. With a majority of the country opposing genocide, it’s still full steam ahead even though it might cost the dems the election.
Yes, both sides are complicit in genocide which should be a red line. Is there literally anything that the democrats could do that would result in you not voting for them? If Harris came out and openly said “I support the genocide of Palestinians”, would you still vote for her because Trump would be worse?
Bruh trump may have been effective in turning some arab states’ backs on palestine but biden and harris ran one of the most effective white washing of a genocide I’ve ever seen. I don’t think people contemplate how bad it is.

awe sweet cant wait to see some solidarity!
That isn’t on the ballot, you don’t understand first past the post do you?
how does it happen everytime!!!
you don’t understand first past the post do you?
I’m so sick of libs going on about “first past the post” and ranked choice voting. They always have a magic reform they obsess over. Before this every lib would thought terminate with “We need to overturn Citizens United!” It’s their magic smart person thing to say, that if this one thing changed then it will all be perfect.
they never have a plan beyond wishing for it. it’s just that oprah bullshit about thinking good thoughts, so good things come to them.
it just hurts that much more to see it coming from the username “Communist”…
Genocide is evil and I will oppose it by carrying out my prescribed role in the genocide machine. I’ve heard if you just work hard enough the machine will stop doing genocide and build a welfare state instead.
