That’s a generalization and infantilizing. Let’s try to not do that about groups of people here.

I’m trying to do low-touch moderation in this comm and haven’t had to really do anything yet, and I’d like to keep it that way. I think what I’m going to try to do is leave comments up that aren’t straight terrible and respond like this to steer conversation in a better direction when possible. I mostly don’t want to ban people, unless they’re repeatedly contributing nothing of value.

Your comment was the first one that’s on the edge since this still a pretty small comm, so don’t take it personally. This is just what’s been floating around in my head.

I also realize the irony of my complaining about “neolibs” as a group of people in another comment in this same thread. I could stand to do better there, but I also see a difference in generalization based on immutable characteristics vs political opinions

In a FPTP voting system, one party dicking around and fucking up is equivalent to giving you the other option. It’s not fun or cool, but it’s true.

Too lazy to make the meme, but you’re literally personifying the Principal Skinner meme. “Am I out of touch? No, it is the voters who are wrong.”

Hate the game all you want, the DNC still failed at convincing people that Trump was worse than their corporatist bullshit, because people are desperate for change

The answer is simple. It is not easy. The DNC needs to be replaced ground up with people that push for real change. The hard part is pushing out people in positions of power that don’t want to give it up because they benefit from the status quo.

Individual people worked hard for that. DNC leadership worked very hard to move to the right and reject progressive/leftist ideals. They proudly touted their endorsements from the Cheneys FFS.

The people voted for change, which Harris wasn’t offering.
