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

Your point is amplifying troll messaging and rolling over to defeatism. It’s about as weak as discourse gets.

No, you’re just mad that I’m correct. You can’t appease people, and people will complain no matter what you do. Therefore, the obvious conclusion is that you shouldn’t vote to appease others, but you should vote in what you believe is right regardless of what others think.

Your “proof” is that there isn’t a position that will win approval with everyone?

Yeah wanting Americans not to massacre people is holding then to an impossible standard.

It’s not like they could even comprehend foreigners bring human beings

As a US citizen, yes my country sucks. It has sucked before and it’s sucking just about as hard as it has since the trail of tears. I am embarrassed by my nation’s leaders abetting genocide, defunding aid programs, putting people who live here in prison for the crime of existing, refusing to tax the rich or corporations, etc etc.

But there are a shit ton of us that aren’t like that. We have a totally fucked election system, a flawed and vague constitution, and fascists in every branch of government.

It’s really not all of us, I swear, and not by a long shot.

♥ sorry mate I didn’t mean to hurt you personally.

I’m just so enraged

What are you even talking about? Holding a position and voting are two different things, and my opinion is not something that requires proof. Boy, I’ve never people so mad at something so basic. It’s a reminder that Lemmy is an echo chamber that’s not reflective of reality.
