a lot of the #toxicIdealism you see on #mastodon in terms of "they're not perfect, so don't #vote" is the same as a russian #troll putting an american flag on their #twitter handle and goosing #kremlin narratives targeting #maga
fake #leftists on the #fediverse with lazy easy #left bonafides to do their #psyop
they do it, because it unfortunately works
toxic idealism is a real problem with #leftist rhetoric
they suppress the left vote and we get #trump
@benroyce @CStamp @RobotDiver @RegGuy THIS^^^ So many people are STILL defending their choice to stay home or vote for some crazy 3rd-party candidate. Their excuse? “Both sides are bad.”
Imagine feeling so privileged that when Nazis start rounding people up, they assume they won’t be among those in the camps!
Even today, I saw comments that Obama is just as bad as Trump, or that Harris is just Republican-Lite. WTF?
If people cannot even admit that voting against Harris (or not voting) was an unquestionable MISTAKE… then we are well and truly f-ed.

Yup and sexist too. These guys don't even know they are doing it. It's just a 'vibe' they get.
@ErickaSimone @mls14 @CStamp @RobotDiver @RegGuy
White people look at Trump and see themselves. They look at their black neighbors with similar struggles and concerns and they see "the other." And via this dynamic, the USA dies
@ErickaSimone @benroyce @CStamp @RobotDiver @RegGuy This guy has like 8000 followers, and is posting attacks on Obama and Harris like this:
Unbelievable. First, I am tired of people telling past leaders to come and save them after they didn’t vote for Harris. But this one gets bonus points for bigotry with the choices of what he whined about. He goes after Obama for posting about basketball, Biden for his Irish heritage, and Harris for being a woman. 👀 @[email protected] From: @[email protected] https://mastodon.social/@augieray/114202739168513320

It looked as if the misogyny was a bit larger than the racism from over here.
Neither absent, but a black man was elected, and a white woman was rejected.
Poor decisions in the two latter, female, cases.
@midgephoto @ErickaSimone @mls14 @CStamp @RobotDiver @RegGuy
one of the reasons the usa is currently dying under orange shitstain is because a black man was elected
the racist freakout is enormous
@midgephoto @mls14 @benroyce @CStamp @RobotDiver @RegGuy Half White half African man was elected. White woman was technically elected but lost the electoral. Half Desi half Black woman could not pull popular or electoral.
And don’t let them tell you it was Palestine either. Bullshit. Palestine has been an issue since the second war of Gaza 1899. To blame a black woman for an ongoing genocide she walked into? Misogynoir.
