Enjoy watching the Palestinian people get eradicated because you couldn't vote against it.

It's not just lemmy, it's something I've seen on other sites as well as traditional media (repeated by news anchors, commentators and even politicians). It's just weird to me that the focus is on such a small number of voters instead of those who simply didn't care enough/were prevented from voting/weren't successfully convinced by the democrats.

I want to say I'm amazed at the shit fucking takes to justify awful choices that directly lead to a fascist overthrow in response to your comment. But these types love to justify their choices even though they directly lead to an open fascist takeover of our country because BoTh SiDeS bAd because they couldn't be bothered to engage in harm reduction and are ok with Gaza getting glassed and a probable trans genocide at home.

Fuck anyone who uses genocide to justify the situation where we now get more genocide, they never actually cared about it in the first place aside from talking points. Either that, or talk is more important than action. Either way, their opinions are meaningless to me as I help my trans homies survive.

We are 16 days in the Trump presidency and he has announced that he will clean the Gaza Strip from Palestinians. So within the first 16 days he has proven that the GOP has a radically different Middle East policy than Democrats, and you still continue to lie and state that both sides are the same. I am guessing you will keep this BoTH SiDeS conviction even if Trump nukes Gaza.

Perhaps I'm just unlucky enough to stumble mostly on comments focusing on them. I was however lucky enough I didn't have to read explanations like the one you've quoted here yet.

There is a lot of blame to be shared.

That's for sure.

Inaction is still a choice, so not voting means you're ok with this. Voting or not voting, you still made your choice in November and here we are.

People saying and persuading others to vote for murderers with blood on their hands are much bigger spineless coward with no morals.

That's the most bullshit argument to justify your shitty choices and is textbook DARVO. Not voting for the lesser murderer means we get an even bigger one who will actively increase the suffering, and it's hilarious to me how you're trying to pretend that voting to prevent more genocide is cowardly. But cowards love to pretend they're not cowards and blame others when they don't have the stones to make hard decisions. And lol, using morality to justify letting trump genocide people home and abroad shows you have none.

Silence is consent when it comes to politics. Always has been; always will be.

Minor ways? Are you fucking serious?

[email protected]

You’re still running around shouting at people?

Stop it and let’s focus on what we are going to do now.

Now respond to the rest of my comment. You didn't even read it, did you.

He's never going to love you no matter how hard you simp for him.

Sitting out was a choice as so was voting for murderers with blood on their hands.

So instead you get to keep your spotless morals while many, many more people die than would have if you made a realistic choice instead of throwing the voter equivalent of a tantrum

If you always make the good choice you will have no regrets because that is what you are supposed to do.

If you have no regrets with the way this turned out, I question the contents or existence of your morals.

I voted Kamala and have no regrets with my choice, only regrets aimed at the people who claim to be my compatriots condemning millions to suffering while being high and mighty about it.

Nah. We had to listen to "gEnOcIDe jOe!!!1!" for the better part of a goddamn year from these people. I've got a LOT more "we fucking told you so" to get out of my system before I'm ready to move on let alone begin to forgive. The threat that is now reality was fully apparent, and these single-issue people still decided to hold the country hostage to "teach the dems a lesson". Fuck them.

[email protected]

and by not picking either "evil" you allowed the worse one to win causing additional harm and suffering, and you're comfortable with that

you chose nothing thinking your inaction was the start of the great revolution that will fix the world

i'm thinking logic is not your strong suit

Bold to presume that they were telling the truth when they said that they thought that BoTh SiDeS sAmE.

For me personally, I believe that they just might have been lying, and did not - in fact - believe their own BS at all.

Like this one from you-can-guess-who on Lemmy.ml:

They spoke, some people did not think critically and believed it, and now here we are. Lemmy is minor leagues, but the sAmE happening in the major leagues like X & Facebook etc. seem to have carried the day. Perhaps now people will start to think strategically. Or... probably not even now. Sad.:-(

You are nuts. The election was in November and you are still shouting at a little minority of potential allies who you can’t even be sure have voted for Trump. Like someone else said: It’s like you’re hoping for things to get worse just to be able to say “I told you so” over and over again.

Great band! Awesome to see them mentioned.🤩

I'm not saying they voted for Trump, but they were certainly sowing division against the only candidate likely to defeat him at the polls.

"Not Trump" was NOT a choice on the ballot, and the single, actual candidate with the most votes wins. Any vote not FOR Harris was a tacit vote for Trump. No third party was going to win, and abstaining is effectively saying "BoTh SiDeZ aRE tHe SAmE!".

They had a chance to help stop this and chose to do anything but. Again, fuck them.

Like someone else said: It’s like you’re hoping for things to get worse just to be able to say “I told you so” over and over again.

That person is an idiot (I say this not even reading their comment).

I am.

Biden's presidency was so similar to the prior one that millions of workers who'd voted previously didn't even see the point in going to the polls.

[email protected]

Were people saying Biden was too old also sowing division or were they just criticising?

It doesn’t matter. We’re in this shit now. And have to somehow act together to get out of it again.
