Or maybe we should blame the Republicans for electing republicans? You know, the ones who caused this?
Why not both? Republicans lock the fuck in when it comes to voting in just enough locations to flip seats. They turn out to vote in the necessary areas, where democrats don't.
I might not be able to change any republican's mind by telling them they are stupid as hell for voting the way they do (or give them facts that they would just ignore), but I can show up and encourage all my friends and family to vote against a fascist in our red district.
Because @DarkFuture@lemmy.world argues in bad faith and never blames both.
Question.
Are you fucking stupid?
How do I "never" blame both?
I'm anti-conservative as fuck and you can see that in my comments.
There are no conservatives on Lemmy. Even the conservative sub is anti-conservative because we ran them out of that sub. And if there were, they're fucking cultists. Me calling them out isn't going to do anything. There's no point in directing any blame towards any specific conservative, because they don't fucking care.
So I'm going to continue calling out the fools that didn't vote or voted 3rd party because they're potentially redeemable.
Yes, I am the one who looks “fucking stupid” here.
You are, really. At least to me. How did Trump fucking running for president again not motivate Democrats to vote? Fucking stupid. Republicans are morons but damn, what a fuck up.
Yeah, play that victim narrative like a fiddle with one string.
Yeah. Sure. Blame them. They're felon rapist pedo supporters. I guarantee they don't care. They're lost causes. They're traitors to our nation. They have no shame, so blaming them doesn't do anything. You're literally just shouting into the wind.
So I'm going to speak to the people who aren't lost causes.
NO 3rd PARTY IS VIABLE AND NO 3rd PARTY IS TRYING TO BE
Our nation just got a crystal clear lesson in what happens when you don't vote or vote for a non-viable 3rd party.
Fascism. Fascism happens.
None of this crazy ass wild shit was happening when Dems were in control before January.
If you want to vote 3rd party, do it in local elections, not federal elections. It makes literally no sense to do so in federal elections. No 3rd party is putting in the work to become viable. The most popular 3rd party candidate shows up right before every election, loses, then disappears again. And she only got half of a single percent of the total votes cast.
A 3rd party president is not happening anytime soon, and probably not in our lifetimes.
So if you don't particularly like Dems either, how about you just vote AGAINST fascism?
I don't care about your feelings. I don't care about your ideals. Those don't mean anything when fascists take control. Do the intelligent thing and vote for a party that isn't bringing fascism to America and then reform it by voting out the members of that party that won't get onboard with progressive policies. Conservatives just reformed their party (into a fascist party) over the last decade or so. It's proof that parties can be reformed. And it's not the first time in American history.
Something I've wanted to convince people is that the Democrats take on a very modest role: Their job is to be slightly better than the other party; while taking money from rich donors.
When so many millions of Americans are actively okay with the Republican party being many levels of hell beyond "Dogshit terrible", then yeah, the Democrats have an extremely low bar to clear.
The ones who sat on their ass on election day have a part to play. Trump voter numbers were practically the same as 2020 but democrat votes plummeted
Not blaming anyone but Republicans but come on.
And why does that mean we shouldn’t blame all the people who did vote for him still?
Blaming them means nothing. They know what he is. Believe me, I work with a bunch of trumpers
