someguy3This is what you voted for protest-non-voters.
lumpenproletariatDamn, really sounds like some sort of political party should have tried to capture voters interest instead of pushing the status quo that has been suffocating folks for their whole life.
This shit is so fucking lazy.
Biden enacted plenty of progressive asks during his term. Harris outlined plenty of progressive asks in her campaign as well.
Just because it wasn’t 100% of what YOU personally wanted doesn’t mean it wasn’t good legislation.
Hope none of your family dies because of this, because if they do it’s on you, mr protest voter.
The percentage of people who don’t vote hasn’t changed much in 100 years. Call them lazy, uneducated, apathetic, etc, it makes no difference. They don’t vote and that’s all there is to be said about it. If you’re waiting around for them to start voting for your preferred candidate you’re going to be waiting for the rest of your life. Stop talking about them and start making other plans.
Like another plan like move out of the country to somewhere smart ?
so only non voters and MAGATS shoot them selves in the foot
I think they are already doing that.
There is plenty of discussion how this last election people didn’t move rightwards, they moved couchwards.
Because Joe “nothing would fundamentally change” Biden was so progressive.
Hope none of your family died in the years before Trump like the hundreds of thousands of others who die each year from easily fixable causes but weren’t because they lived in status quo America.
Quick question, do you in any way shape or form hold the Democratic party responsible for their performance at the polls?
How many billions of dollars in student loan debt did Biden cancel? How much more would have been cancelled if the supreme court didn’t act in a blatantly partisan manner?
Yeah, I do hold them responsible. Shumer shouldn’t be in leadership and AOC should be on every high profile committee there is.
Not voting solves nothing. You know how you get more progressive legislation passed? By voting for the party that has progressives in it. That’s how. More democrats means more people like AOC. It doesn’t fucking matter if your personal rep is a god damned blue dog if it means there’s one less republican in congress.
How many billions in student load debt did Biden create by helping establish the predatory stydent-loan system as it currently exists?
Oh so a person helps fix a problem they were part of, and for you that’s not enough.
God you people are so tiring.
If your dog vomit’s on the floor and eats a small part of that vomit before looking at you for approval, do you reward them for partiall cleaning the mess they made?
Ah the Reddit AI Russia bots are infecting here I see.
queermunist she/herWhat the fuck are you talking about lol
DarkFutureBecause Joe “nothing would fundamentally change” Biden was so progressive.
Are you stupid? His legislation was VERY progressive. Guy was even the first president IN HISTORY to forgive student loans and to stand on a picket line with striking workers.
do you in any way shape or form hold the Democratic party responsible for their performance at the polls?
Yes, but not even close to as responsible as I hold American voters for failing their civic duty.
Biden butchered children by the tens of thousands. I want to fucking die because I voted for that monster.
Yeah, he personally turned 26487 children into various meat products for the whit house barbecue. He’s a surprisingly good chef, though. Those spare ribs were the best I ever had.
He personally ensured Israel had the bombs and international legal protection necessary to murder all those children. He did everything he could to guarantee those children died in twisted shieking agony. In fact, many of them did burn to death and he his personally responsible for cooking them alive.
Let me put it this way: I don’t feel like I deserve to live anymore for my role in the genocide.
Do you feel innocent?
Well aren’t you mentally insane…dude go see a psychiatrist.
Do you dispute that the US armed Israel for their genocide?
Did I say otherwise? You fucking moron can’t read eh?
So, what was so insane? Feeling guilty over contributing to it?
Do you feel innocent?
Yes. Because our 2 options were a fascist, and a Liberal. Liberals may suck, but they can be worked with, and reasoned with. Fascists don’t have that perk.
Liberals are just fascists with better PR. They absolutely cannot be reasoned with, as evidenced by the democrats being exactly as complicit in the genocide as the republicans. No reasoning has managed to convince that party that Palestine deserves to exist.
Just admit what you really mean:
“The democrats may be just as genocidal outside of our country, but at least they’re not genociding me like the republicans would”.
Or, put simply, “the democrats are evil in a way that doesn’t impact me”.
You’re not very smart, are you?
Smart enough to not fall for such an obvious deflection, at any rate.
Hard to “fall” for something that isn’t there. You’re just making the statement that Liberals=Fascists, when you’re factually wrong. Please go to any Poli-sci course, and you will learn. Alternatively, you could just not comment when you’re uninformed. Sorry to hear about your TBE.
If you’re gonna say anything other than “but but they’re literally not the same, so therefore they can’t be compared”, get back to me. Go talk to some actual humans and learn how we speak, learn the nuance in language required to understand that “liberals are fascist” is not saying “the definition of liberalism is identical to that of fascists”.
Liberals support and prop up fascists, both materially by carrying their policies through without challenge, and also ideologically by giving a false vision of “The Left”, while edging further and further right, limiting the horizon of what politics can be. If the “good guy” is barely different from the “bad guy”, surely the bad guy can’t really be that bad… right?
They are both bourgeois parties serving the same corporate and imperial interests. Liberals are just smarter and like to throw in some welfare and pander to progressive causes so their outright villainy is less obvious.
“Liberals are just fascists with better PR.”
You’re delusional. You literally are saying yourself they are exactly the same. Go to lemmy.ml- they love dumbass tankie takes.
Liberals and fascists share core beliefs and assumptions about scoeity, particularly the role of the state.
The state exists only as a tool to oppress the working class, and must be demolished, along with its corporate overlords. Find a talkie that would say that, but after first getting fucked.
Liberals are just fascists with better PR.
Can you type more stupid clown comments so I can put them on my Wall of Stupid Clown Comments?
democrats being exactly as complicit in the genocide as the republicans
Weird. I remember Biden repeatedly expressing that he didn’t like Netanyahu’s tactics, then threatening to stop arms shipments and impose sanctions. I also remember Trump regularly fellating Netanyahu and saying he wants to kick Palestinians out to build a fucking resort.
Herp derp, both duh same.
but at least they’re not genociding inside our country like the republicans would”.
Yeah, I would actually very much prefer a party that doesn’t genocide in our own country. That sounds way preferential than genocide in our country.
Of course it’s preferable, but don’t pretend like it’s a good choice in any respect other than not literally being the worst
You’re the whiniest drama queen I’ve come across so far on Lemmy.
Being against genocide is nothing more than “whining” to you? You see someone upset that innocent men, women and children are being killed, and you call them a DRAMA QUEEN? WTF is wrong with you? Doesn’t death and destruction bother you?
lol the weird Facebook propaganda gets weirder by the day.
Go back to Reddit.
To huff your own farts, bot.
Clearly I’m a Russian agent sent to sow dissent on this underwater basket weaving forum. 🙄
Do… Do you think I’m pro-US?
I hate this demon shit hole country.
“Queermunist”, implying you are both queer and communist.
Mate you… you know you are the first group of people the turd wants to get rid of?
You deserve what’s coming for you, because you are the one asking for it, so when they come for you (because, unless there’s a very significant change, it’s not an if but a when), remember that you voted for it.
Imagine telling a minority “you deserve to be killed by fascists because you didn’t vote for my preferred candidate.”
It’s like they say! Scratch a liberal…
Imagine being part of a minority that a president has vowed to hunt and actively or passively help that president come to power so he can hunt you.
I live in a red state, my vote doesn’t even fucking count in this shit hole country.
Don’t be so modest, you’re excited for me to get murdered for being disobedient. That’s why you won’t lift a finger to resist fascism. Voting is the limit of your participation in politics and you aren’t going to be allowed to vote fascist away.
I won’t be surprised when volunteer to be one of the camp guards because you think you can change the system from the inside.
I live in a red state, my vote doesn’t even fucking count in this shit hole country.
Loser attitude.
Don’t be so modest, you’re excited for me to get murdered for being disobedient.
Whiny bitch attitude.
That’s why you won’t lift a finger to resist fascism.
We voted against it, dipshit. Stop trying to goad others into taking physical action when you’re too much of a pussy to do it yourself.
Stop typing. The more you type, the more of a fool you make yourself out to be.
You did not vote against fascism, you voted for quieter, slower fascism.
I’m not even american. And every time I can vote, I do against fascism. Because if I have to choose between a literal nazi and someone who’s imperfect but it’s not a nazi, I kinda prefer to be governed by the one that’s not a nazi.
And since we are talking about genocide: remember that the turd YOU helped putting in the white house is allowing the zionazi to run wild and even think of annexing Gaza (after “cleansing” it).
It’s called self preservation and acknowledging that America’s voting system is fundamentally flawed. You vote for harm reduction not perfection.
It’s easier to fight against the genocide in Israel when you’re not under a fascist government in your own country
I refuse to choose genocide for self preservation.
In fact, I kind of want to die just for my role as a passive participant in the genocide. I think about Aaron Bushnell a lot.
I refuse to choose genocide for self preservation.
Then you’ll get fascism at home. And did.
I kind of want to die just for my role as a passive participant in the genocide.
You sound like kind of a fool.
Imagine voting for genocide and thinking you have the moral high ground because you voted for the genocide that doesn’t personally harm you.
So by not wanting to be complicit in one genocide you allowed fascism to rise and now are unwilling complicit in more crimes against humanity.
Harm reduction is a simple concept
Imagine telling someone you’re fine with queer people being killed at home, because you’re so entitled that you sat out to defend those people.
Did I say I was fine with this? I just believe we can do things other than wait for the next election to stop it from happening. Get organized, get a gun, and get ready.
Are you going to act? Or are you going to sit on your ass and wait for another election that is never going to come?
Because if you’re waiting for the next election to stop fascism you are going to lose.
There’s this nice little thing called OPSEC and talking about such things just makes you a target.
Talking about what? Owning a gun is a right! I certainly would never use it for anything other than paper target shooting on a gun range.
That’s all paper ballots are good for - target practice.
But it’s not bad opsec to tell people to buy guns. That’s just sensible. The people without guns are the ones that are targeted first .
It’s like they say! Scratch a liberal…
It’s not like “they” say. It’s what idiots say.
Please tell me how Trump is any measure in comparison to Biden, go ahead, I’ll wait, you’re so full of shit. It’s leaking out your ears.
Take your clown nonsense elsewhere, clown. 🤡
Literally thousands of families have been wiped off the earth because of Biden’s genocide.

How do prescription drug costs in the United States compare to other countries? - Peterson-KFF Health System Tracker
More than three in four adults in the United States think the costs of prescription drugs are unaffordable and nearly one in three adults say they haven’t taken their medications as prescribed due to costs. In 2019, the U.S. spent more than $1,000 per person on prescribed medicines, an amount higher than any peer nation. […]
