Call me a conspiracy theorist, but I’m always rather suspicious of why these things tend to be so divisive without offering an alternative/call to action. Why would anyone bother to put these up? Especially in NYC, where they just elected Mayor Mamdani? https://todon.eu/@RadicalGraffiti/115914306222826028

For the record, I’m still mad about the “The Case For Not Voting” event by Firestorm Books (they’re on kolektiva.social, based in not-a-solid-blue-state NC), in September 2024. https://firestorm.coop/events/3265-the-case-for-not-voting.html

I hope they’re happy about their progressive or anarchist or whatever “values” and “the future of democracy hangs in the balance, we're told” attitude, seeing how things are going in Gaza, Ukraine, Venezuela, Greenland, etc. in 2026.

I suppose all the “Democrats and Republicans are the same” people are now saying “not bombing #Iran and bombing Iran are the same” with a straight face? (To be clear this was my sarcastic reply, but the cognitive dissonance truly boggles my mind.)

>> “#Democrats and #Republicans are the same" …
>> the cognitive dissonance truly boggles my mind.

Saying something out of context or without any context (as in the example you cited above) will do that to your mind.

Try this:

"Horses and fish are the same because they have eyes to see with and mouths to eat from, but a bird and a fish are not the same because one can fly while the other cannot."

Democrats and Republicans both grift.

Do you find #cognitiveDissonance in this too?
