Summary
Fox News’s attempt to find support for Donald Trump in Greenland backfired, as most residents expressed disinterest in his proposals.
While one Trump supporter was found, the majority of Greenlanders interviewed criticized Trump’s comments and expressed a preference for remaining under Danish rule.
Despite these setbacks, Trump continues to advocate for acquiring Greenland, citing economic security concerns.
Non voters are self-defeating. that’s the fucking point. If someone voted, then they did what they could!
No. There’s all kinds of people that don’t vote because they’ve accurately assessed that the system resists changing to reflect their needs. People don’t believe in the message of the parties or the government anymore. That’s why we’re in this mess in the first place. Imo, the problem is that the DNC is leaving voters on the table by not giving people something to show up for. Not being Trump isn’t enough. You might think it’s enough, but for at least five million people-- and realistically much more than that-- this last election, it wasn’t. The Democratic party needs to get its shit together, stop blaming voters, stop feeling entitled to people’s votes just because they’re not the other guy, and get out there and really start swinging for the fences. No more insurance regulations, promise universal healthcare; no more homebuyers credits, promise to plunk down commie blocks until homelessness is ended; no more highly conditional student loan debt forgiveness, fuck that whole system up with a hammer so that nobody needs to go into five-or-more digit debt to get a job. Don’t give me excuses or reasons, I’m not interested, Trump is trying to buy/invade Greenland, I don’t give a single fuck about what the legislative horoscopes say, let’s get out there and do it.
That makes no sense. The system can only “reflect their needs” as a result of voting. By not voting you are setting yourself up to being a lifetime loser in political affairs. In the long term the system will always reflect what the majority of the VOTERS want, and not necessarily what he majority of the CITIZENS want. If Dems were routinely getting large victories, then politicians would be routinely competing against each other to demonstrate who is going the farthest and the fastest in achieving progress.
They’ve inaccurately assessed it because not voting is the one thing they can do that will help exactly zero people.
The DNC is famous for listening to idiots. It’s a fair point. but “not giving people something to show up for” is also wrong. See [everything that’s going to happen for four loooooooong goddamn years] for more information.
Every racist policy, every fascist federal judicial appointment, every foreign policy nightmare, every economic disaster, dog-forbid another global fucking pandemic - ALL would have been avoided.
So they didn’t show up to prevent that, and since that’s not enough for them - fuck them. They can fucking eat shit. Because the people who did show up to vote for a demented rapist will be shoving shit down on us the whole time.
Fools.
