Damn, all that hate is better saved for people actually committing harm. If all the dems can offer is ‘yeah but they’re way worse’ then don’t get mad when people stay at home. If the Dems want votes, maybe stop blaming non voters and I don’t know, motivate them with something?
You don’t understand. The harm is coming. There isn’t much we can do now. It hardly even matters who wins in future elections at this point, the amount even the most progressive admin could do for decades is a tiny dent. All progressivism can achieve now is hospice care. Give us a metaphorically better drug as things get progressively worse.
The environment is collapsing. We’ve alienated all of our allies. We’ve allowed AI corporations to capture massive amounts of value with a direct threat to the working person’s employment. America’s aging demographics and newly massively expanded debt is going to cripple any kind of ability for a progressive government to make the average person’s life worth living. Trump and his fascist buddies are going to get mostly away with it, submitting our country to future grifters who realize they’ll suffer no consequences. They very core of our government structure now in a iron grip of fascist judges spread across ever nook and cranny, virtually impossible to remove. Dooming us to conservative social policy for the rest of our miserable fucking lives.
And for what? Palestine is as hellish as ever, if not far worse. And now we’re at war with Iran.
We lost, and you are just coping. We will both burn slowly and painfully. And I’ll know I tried to avoid this and know people like yourself did not.
I am disgusted at rightwing and zionist democrats, and I tell them such. I tell them I hate them as well. On the internet at least. But they aren’t here and I also hate non-voters. And non-voting people are actually all around me. I’m reminded of their petulant stupidity constantly. They’re all over Lemmy. They fill my small city’s bar’s with their bullshit “Both sides bad” rhetoric. I talk to them in person frequently, though I’d be a pariah if I admitted to them what I think of either group, but the vast majority of the stupidity is from the non-voters.
Ok, don’t assume I’m a Seppo. I vote often, and in local, state, and federal elections. I don’t believe my vote is the be all and end all. I go to protests, I participate in my union and have used safety law to force my workplace into protecting its workers.
And you know what? The alt right continues to grow. This problem is bigger than a single vote every 4 years and the Americans are finding out far too late the damage caused by Reagan and Bush. The time to act was 20 to 40 years ago, it’s been far too late for decades and only now you blame voter apathy instead of how horrible the Dems are and how fundamentally broken the American system is. J6 should have been the wake up that votes no longer mattered and that direct action is required.
Maga figured this out, when will you?
