@benroyce Ahh yes, "Diplomacy"

ᴮᵉⁿ ᴿᵒʸᶜᵉVOTE IN THE PRIMARIES Oct 29

@ShredderFeeder

my country is going rapidly down the toilet

partly because of #MAGA #fascist #bigots

and partly because of these cringe weak "but i want perfect" #nonvoters

yes, the #USA sucked before: that's a silly observation when you realize how much worse it can suck

you get better or worse in this life. that's all you will ever, ever, EVER get

perfect isn't on the menu. never will be

#vote you dumb motherfuckers

#politics

@benroyce @ShredderFeeder

Asking for people to be better than the least of two evils is before voting for them is hardly demanding perfection. People need a system that allows them to vote for who they want not just who they don't want least.

@the5thColumnist Wow, that sounds like people who regularly sit out municipal elections, where people you want are rarely if ever on the ballot. Those rare times you do find someone you want invariably end in disappointment because they *never* live up to your expectations. You vote for the least worst option anyway, otherwise you are letting a shockingly small number of people do it for you.

Choosing not to vote is a de facto vote.

"none of the above" should be an option on every ballot, and if None wins, the election must be held again, without the rejected candidates.

hell, even I'd vote.

Yes I too like to go on social media and proclaim how things should be, then not do a fucking thing to make it happen, even the easiest fucking thing

once again, for the people not paying attention -

i just spent 3 weeks at the ICE detention center, 24/7, being gassed and harassed, while you sat on your lazy ass at home.

i didn't get enough to eat most of that time.

i did this to stand up to fascists. as i have done my entire life.

If you voted, you fucking moron, you wouldn't have to do that

Unfollow me at least, a block is preferable

fuck yourself, you order-giving fascist wannabe.

Oh yeah, I'm a fascist because I want you to vote 🤣

@benroyce @dnkboston @the5thColumnist @ShredderFeeder

roblosricos Nov 1

no, you're a fascist because the US has been a fascist state since 1946, and you've voted to keep it that way your whole life.

@roblosricos @dnkboston @the5thColumnist @ShredderFeeder

Well yes the point is to vote and keep fascism out

What's failing us are the morons not voting and doing call of duty edgelord fantasy life of revolution. Having not the slightest fucking clue what that is really like. They are either violent idiots or agent provocateurs out to sabotage the left

@benroyce
Do you get a lot of blocks, Ben? Because my modest venture into this subject matter a few days ago got me an amazing harvest.
@roblosricos @dnkboston @the5thColumnist @ShredderFeeder

@benroyce @roblosricos @the5thColumnist @ShredderFeeder

@Eetschrijver I just got one!

@dnkboston
Let me guess: from a certain Celestial Mammal?
@benroyce @roblosricos @the5thColumnist @ShredderFeeder

@benroyce @roblosricos @the5thColumnist @ShredderFeeder

@Eetschrijver

You betcha! Ben is getting to me, so I engaged longer than I usually would, but I finally couldn't take it anymore. You too?

@dnkboston
Same here, indeed. They were among the first!
@benroyce @roblosricos @the5thColumnist @ShredderFeeder

@Eetschrijver They're all twelve, right? They have to be younger than high school and, like, on the same Discord server, because they all spew the same BS.
@benroyce @roblosricos @the5thColumnist @ShredderFeeder

@dnkboston
You might well be on to something there!

@Eetschrijver

I do not have you blocked, though I probably should.

SouprMatt Nov 3

@Eetschrijver @dnkboston @benroyce @roblosricos @the5thColumnist @ShredderFeeder That marsupial blocked me after I dared to question his assertion that the only solution to politics in the USA was to “buy guns” and not vote.

I actually got a MASSIVE amount of blocks on that topic. It turns out that America has a serious mental disease where they love guns more than anything else. And it’s not just right-wingers. Or maybe all those “anarchists” are actually just libertarians with hammer and sickle avatars.

@mls14 That love of guns has done nothing good for our suicide or dv murder rates @Eetschrijver @benroyce @roblosricos @the5thColumnist @ShredderFeeder

"Or maybe all those “anarchists” are actually just libertarians with hammer and sickle avatars."

bingo

@Eetschrijver @roblosricos @dnkboston @the5thColumnist @ShredderFeeder

i never block

(except those creeps that follow you around to harass you)

when i see posting behavior a normal person would just block, i mock them with an eye on getting them to block me- that's enjoyable. or such that i harvest enough of their behavior to get a server suspend, then i report them (behavior way over the line, like vatnik trolls with their kremlin disinfo, assorted racists, transphobes, etc)

@Eetschrijver @roblosricos @the5thColumnist @ShredderFeeder

@benroyce I commend you, but I lack that level of patience. I have to carve out time for arguing about important things, like egg cartons.

@dnkboston
Egg cartons! I trust you've seen my poll?
@benroyce @roblosricos @the5thColumnist @ShredderFeeder

@benroyce @roblosricos @the5thColumnist @ShredderFeeder

@Eetschrijver There's *another* poll?

@dnkboston
I *think* mine was actually the first!
@benroyce @roblosricos @the5thColumnist @ShredderFeeder

@benroyce @roblosricos @the5thColumnist @ShredderFeeder

@Eetschrijver four options? And the last one is the only correct one?

@dnkboston
I have as yet no opinion on which of the four is the correct option!
@benroyce @roblosricos @the5thColumnist @ShredderFeeder

@benroyce @roblosricos @the5thColumnist @ShredderFeeder

@Eetschrijver Are you going to tell me that you're also registered Independent? Because...wow

@dnkboston
I am, in fact, not registered at all. I'm a Dutch national currently living in France and I never claimed American citizenship in spite of insistent urging on behalf of my Californian ex. 😂
@benroyce @roblosricos @the5thColumnist @ShredderFeeder

@benroyce @roblosricos @the5thColumnist @ShredderFeeder

@Eetschrijver Well, that explains it then, doesn't it? (But seriously, hope you're voting somewhere.)

@dnkboston
I definitely vote whenever and wherever I have the right to vote. Never sat a single one out. And I'm actually on the municipal council of my French village.

@Eetschrijver @dnkboston @roblosricos @the5thColumnist @ShredderFeeder

oh wow

but you're going to lose your seat in an argument over the supriority of edam/ gouda over roquefort/ camembert

be careful

@benroyce
I'm willing to go out on a limb here!
@dnkboston @roblosricos @the5thColumnist @ShredderFeeder

@dnkboston @Eetschrijver @roblosricos @the5thColumnist @ShredderFeeder

there's no serenity, ie, patience, over here

it's anger

@benroyce If this is a good way to work it out, go for it. @Eetschrijver @roblosricos @the5thColumnist @ShredderFeeder

@dnkboston @Eetschrijver @roblosricos @the5thColumnist @ShredderFeeder

catharsis

@benroyce
Your patience is admirable and something I could not even realistically aspire to.
However, I meant getting blocked.
@roblosricos @dnkboston @the5thColumnist @ShredderFeeder

@Eetschrijver @roblosricos @dnkboston @the5thColumnist @ShredderFeeder

i get tons of blocks

i consider it a win considering the kind of people doing the blocking

everyone from polite society, who don't like my attitude. i view them with contempt, because polite society is happy to tolerate bigotry as long as its serene. they view someone angry as a problem. anger is what is really appropriate

to the entitled nonvoting shitbags themselves who are enraged i call out their self-serving bullshit
