Get out and vote! - Lemmy

To all the burn it down and rebuild leftists (by protesting and not voting for the lesser of 2 evils) tell me how well that went for the Communists in Germany and Italy the last time mask off fascism rose to power there…

Edit: Not one of these “Self-righteous leftists” have addressed my question about what happened to leftists in Germany or Italy when fascist took power there. Its almost like they dont give a shit about the Prolitariat and would rather engage in purity politics rather than support the working class or marginalized communities. Absolutely pathetic astroturfing, or simply a complete disregard for the Materical Conditions on the ground in America.

Not voting for the lesser of two evils is the most childish shit. People like to bring up that Geralt quote, as if the situation in that story wasn’t made a hell of a lot worse by his decision not to choose.
Want Biden supposed to be the lesser of two evils last time? How’s that working out for you?
A hell of alot better than if 45 was still in office.

Two major wars with nuclear armed states, one with an actual genocide.

Are you proud of yourself for supporting genocide?

And 45 being in power would have made it all better and would have supprorted Freeing Palestine. /s Give me a fuxking break. Implying that i support Genocide is ridiculous, I’ve attended 2 Free Palestine marches in D.C. so far, have written the president to voice my opposition to the funding of Israel, and contacted my Representative. What have you done besides engaging in whataboutism on the internet? Biden sucks, but implying that voting for him and/or supporting dems in the midterms is supporting Genocide is assinine especially when you factor the right wanting to commit Genocide on trans folk in the US. You are supporting Genocide by not voting for the lesser of 2 evils you self-righteous internet sjw. Touch grass and engage in Praxis if you actually care.

Implying that i support Genocide is ridiculous

Anyone who supports Genocide Jim Crow Joe Biden is a genocide supporter. It’s that simple.

I’ve attended 2 Free Palestine marches in D.C. so far, have written the president to voice my opposition to the funding of Israel, and contacted my Representative.

And then supported him regardless. This is just performative bullshit for you to attempt to salve your conscience. You are complicit in genocide by directly supporting Joe Biden.

Biden sucks, but implying that voting for him and/or supporting dems in the midterms is supporting Genocide is assinine especially when you factor the right wanting to commit Genocide on trans folk in the US.

The right? Are you trying to claim that the Dems are not “the right”? So your concern is for a tiny fraction of a tiny percentage of the world’s population, rather than the millions who are murdered by America worldwide? At least you admit it. American lives are worth multiples of other humans, right? Scumbag.

So I would love to know. Would voting for either no one or a third party be a big “fuck you joe!” with no real world consequences? Is that seriously your belief?

Voting for one of two given candidates is far from actually directly supporting someone. You do not know what they did before the generals. Who they supported in the primaries. Unless you are literally out there plotting the coup to outdo all the coups of mankind and not idly sitting complaining online, then you have zero room to attack someone for voting for the less of two evils.

Unless, of course, you believe Trump would have somehow done better or prevented this. The guy saying he would remove all the Palestinians from the US. The guy that the creators and backers of Project 2025 wants to be their guy

And quit it with the “a tiny percentage of people is better than _____”. For one, well over a million people is not just some group to throw to the side to support another group and you’re literally doing the same thing you’re accusing this person of doing. Second, if you think that trans people by themselves are the only target of all that nonsense, then you are seriously incorrect.

th no real world consequences?

Your hands would be clean of blood and you can say you didn’t participate in the charade that led to the deaths of millions.

Voting for one of two given candidates is far from actually directly supporting someone.

It’s literally supporting one of them. That’s what it is. Participating in the American regime’s phony processes legitimises them.

Unless, of course, you believe Trump would have somehow done better or prevented this.

I don’t care. There’s no air between them. Biden took all of Trump’s policies and made them worse. You don’t care about the policies, just the personalities.

For one, well over a million people is not just some group to throw to the side to support another group

This is literally your logic, remember? The lesser of two evils?

Second, if you think that trans people by themselves are the only target of all that nonsense, then you are seriously incorrect.

Are the other targets Americans too? If so, fuck them, the vast majority of Americans support its continued existence.

Alright, continue believing this nonsense. Again, unless you are actively working on a massive coup to destroy this system, then all of your talk and nonsense is going to do nothing to help anyone.

There isn’t one major political group in the entire world that you standing up by doing nothing does anything about. Not one.

And again, you call for the attack of other people in order to save another, which is exactly what you accused him of.

They have no desire to accomplish anything other than being ideologically pure and zero desire to engage in good faith dialogue, i blocked em.
