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.

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 @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.
