Vote for Republicans = You’re an evil Nazi

Vote for Democrats = You’re an evil liberal, an liberals are just veiled fascist

Vote for third party = You’re wasting your vote, you’re probably just a foreign asset

Vote for progressives = You support neoliberalism that masquerades as milquetoast socialism

Don’t vote at all = You’re a privileged asshole who caused all these issues by not voting

It literally doesn’t matter what you do or who you vote for, you simply can’t win with these people. There’s no appeasing them, they will forever complain about how you vote.

You forgot someone on your list. You. How would you describe yourself, I wonder? I know how I would.

Let me guess, am I nazi too?

No, you are a propagandist, trying to spread apathy amongst voters who could make a difference. You aren’t trying to get fewer people to vote for the Republican fascists, your goal is to spread apathy among the people who might vote against them.

I see my point is being proven already

It’s literally what you are doing, and the best you can counter with is with pre-school sandbox logic?

My point is very obvious and straightforward. You cannot appease everybody no matter what you do, and that includes voting, and therefore you should do what you believe is right regardless of what others think, whether that’s voting for something or not voting at all… but I suppose this is just a part of some grand propaganda conspiracy to help boost the Republican party by sowing discourse on Lemmy. Do you even hear yourself?

Because the only imaginable positive outcome is appeasing everyone of course.

How about trying to minimize harm to as many people as possible?

That’s stupid, of course it isn’t. But the whole point of posts like this one is try to shame people for voting or not voting. These are the types of people who expect appeasement. MAGA isn’t the only thing our political landscape that wants appeasement. Either way, this type of thing never works. People like OP will never be pleased no matter what. People don’t vote to appease others nor should they. Everybody wants to minimize harm, but what that means is something that’s entirely subjective.

It’s not subjective. That’s an obvious lie. Everyone is being harmed more under Trump than they would be under Harris.
