In shock announcement, Trump says U.S. wants to take over Gaza Strip
-
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.🤩

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.

Trump doesn't speak for his citizens. "Trump" is the one who wants it
-
I don't simp for him, fuck that scumbag.
But I think issues are more complicated than that, because for example Democrats actively supported the genocide too, so it's not just 1 bad guy. -
Were people saying Biden was too old also sowing division or were they just criticising?
Yes and no. The people who did nothing but repeat and amplify that? Sowing division (see GiveSomeFucks, Return2Ozma, etc)
The people who made valid points but weren't beating that drum continuously? Legit criticism.
Either way, at the time, it was Biden or Trump, and the same two potential outcomes: Status quo or speedrun to fascism. There really shouldn't have been a dilemma.

Good luck to them then. I'll definitely be fighting, but I will absolutely not be working with the "oops, I accidentally helped bring fascism by completely failing to acknowledge the bigger picture" crowd - they're on their own
-
That is a shock. I expected him to just bomb it to dust and bulldoze it into the sea.

-
I don't know, definitely feels like the democrats passively supported, while Trump seems to want to participate.
Can't say the democrats were making the right choice, but Trumps stance is objectively worse.
-
We need systems where we vote for policies rather than parties.
Absolutely nothing will be fixed until we do.

Or you could stop and build a string coalition with an action plan.
-
Ah yes the black and white both sides bad argument. You do know it's possible for one side to be worse right? So much worse.
-
If you call a cease fire, hostage release, and two state solution as "supported the genocide" then... I guess?
I wouldn't call it that though. You do you I guess.
-
Nope. It is dead correct. If you were eligible to vote and you did not vote then you should feel horrible. You should feel attacked. You should feel like everyone hates you. They do. You decided that fascism wasn't important enough to vote against. You decided to go "Well both sides suck" when one side was actively planning genocide and destruction of the United States.
You do not get to have a say. Why? Because you didn't vote. You decided not to use your voice so guess what? You don't get to have one here.
