All of this… it could have been stopped. We don’t have to love (or even like) the Democrats, but it was such an important election, and everybody was screaming to vote against fascism. Well, a lot of people couldn’t be bothered, and it’s here now. Hope our country survives this administration…

It’s in part because Biden ran on opposing fascism, got elected, and then did nothing to oppose fascism. He sold himself as a dragonslayer, but once he got in, he didn’t want to upset the pro-dragon crowd.

So, yeah, when his protege ran the exact same campaign, it didn’t instill a lot of confidence.

That is a really stupid reason to let a fascist win though. Like, why should I respect or align myself with such a stupid group of people?

Like, why should I respect or align myself with such a stupid group of people?

Which is exactly the question they were asking. You want someone to blame, it’s the DNC.

You don’t have to align with someone you vote for in a FPTP system.

And no, your suggestion is based on a false dichotomy. I blame the DNC AND the non-voters. I can despise both and do.

So you have no care of causal relationships whatsoever so long as you get to spew your hate at everyone.

On lemmy? No. I’m not here to make friends. I’m here to scream into the void.

IRL, I have to hold in my thoughts usually unless I want to endanger my well being in multiple ways because pissing almost everyone you know off is a fast way to end up a homeless pariah.

Just because I’m not sure you understood, causal was not a typo. I did not mean casual.

Ooooh. Fair.

I used to care about causal relationships but now my brain has been damaged by the 2024 US election and I just can’t mentally produce the energy to thrust myself out of the black hole of disgust and resentment, yeah.

The thing is I kind of want to go back to caring I was happier then but I’d have to somehow rewrite reality to not be surrounded by worthless sociopaths and anti-intellectuals. If you can’t beat them, join them. I’m going to try and destroy my brain further with alcohol and ruthlessly make money now.
