Jon Stewart examines the choice undecided voters are facing in the 2024 election: Kamala Harris, who has an impressive résumé and specific policy plans, versus Donald Trump, whose vision, consistency on issues, anti-labor ethos, and militaristic posturing are at odds with the caricature his followers have created for him.

You keep saying it every day to people who upvote you at a 100% rate. I don’t think your message is ever received by anyone who disagrees. My question is what’s the point? This is a waste of electricity.

p.s. also all trump supporters are quickly banned on lemmy

Is this true? I lean more conservative and will probably vote for Trump. If saying that gets me banned, that’s crazy but I doubt I would. I’ve followed the rules here

You mean you stated a personal opinion in good faith without arguing, misrepresenting, or just making things up? How dare you?

Weird to see a website actually uphold it’s rules on transphobia, homophobia, misinformation, and not being a fascist fuckface, huh?

To me seems like you’re mainly interested in shushing your political opponents.

From the overall sentiment, your only option, really, is to either imprison 40% of your population, if you’d eventually instate the same laws but on the national level instead of lemmy, or to solve matters in a civil war.

I’d, frankly, would be very worried if I were you, and I’d spend my days trying to figure out a solution.

You spend your days meeting the same people, going in a circle one-by-one, everyone in their turn says “trump bad” and the rest nods. Kind of an emotional support group.

Way to out yourself as a piece of shit fascist! If you don’t agree that banning transphobes, homophobes, and literal traitors to our democracy is a good thing, fuck off!

imprison 40% of your population

Lol, Imagine actually thinking they have 40% of the general populations support. If it wasn’t for gerrymandering the GOP wouldn’t win shit here

No, we comment on a forum about it. New to the internet?

And you go down the thread posting shit like this. That’s also a waste of electricity. I guess humans are just wasteful. 🤷

To me seems like there’s a potential of a discourse of some sort. Certainly the freshest opinion in the entire post.

The person you responded to has added absolutely nothing. A waste of time really.

Tell me you don’t understand how Lemmy works without telling me you don’t understand how Lemmy works.

I say it to people who are trying to understand why Trump has a following. It’s not because he’s smart or a great businessman.

It’s because he’s racist. I love Jon Stewart but his message of trying to help liberals understand Trump’s acolytes misses the mark.

We don’t need to spend more time debating why people like him.

People like Trump because, and I say this again for people who missed it the first time, he is a fucking racist.

What do you do in a democracy where say, for the sake of the argument, exactly 50% of your population is racist?

As in, 50% of your population believes skin color does not matter, the other 50% believe if you’re darker than a certain shade, your brain is that of a baboon, and as an unsuitable human being you should be kept outside of the country borders.

What do you do?


Now, you’re in the same situation, but the split is 60/40. Will you use your majority power to exterminate the other 40?


So far all you do is gather on some corner of the internet and cry in each others shoulder. Every fuckin day. On every fuckin sub.

This platform was created as some “Fediverse”. Something big and all-encompassing. Flying above individual organizations, nations, languages, etc. But all it is atm is an emotional support corner for the non-racist americans.
