“Facts are gay.” - some Republican.
The sad truth is that for nearly half of American, Vance’s statement would resonate with them.
Every time republicans mention mental illness in this country ask them if they are just scapegoating or how much money they would be willing to put down in the budget to ensure everyone had access to mental healthcare
Oh that’s an easy one. Its 100% a scapegoat because there is no fucking way in hell they don’t use the term “mental illness” without thinking either.
A) They need to bootstrap themselves out of mental illness
B) Something Something Euthanize Something
Because they are 100% uninterested in fixing stuff, its just a shell game of placing blame elsewhere and doing nothing about anything ever.
and doing nothing about anything ever.
THAT is a VILE defamation! They are putting so much effort into siphoning all the wealth they can carry into the pockets of themselves and their cronies and here you are claiming they are doing nothing! Do you think those super-rich-tax cuts propose themselves? The permissions to legally destroy the planet for money are granting themselves on their own? NO! There is a lot of work going into robbing entire generations of their future for maximum profit while at the same time distracting the general public and indoctrinating them into believing that it’s all being done for their benefit. And I will not stand for anyone claiming that the trumpian kleptocrats are lazy and “doing nothing”.
I still find the fact that the ultra auth-left instance hexbear.net is the most republican instance on the entire fediverse extremely amusing
It’s always matter of time before some radical nationalists and radical socialists talk to each other, come to the realization that they actually have a lot in common and then decide to work together in a single nationalist socialist organisation. The inevitable backstabbing comes later.
Edit: I had written national instead of nationalist.
we don’t know for a fact, but I’ve spent some time on a lot of instances and they were the only ones telling me to not vote harris and instead vote trump
Saying this is a no-brainer is essentially in and of itself, a no-brainer. But yet, here we are, frustratingly attempting to educate leftists and undecided people on the dangers of “protest voting” and how cataclysmically dangerous it is to assume that you know better without ever seeming to possess the ability to simply just prove it.
We have the receipts. We know damn well what is going to happen if Trump is allowed to win.
And if you think you’re teaching someone a lesson with your withheld vote, I’ve got news for you-
A LOT of people are going to be hurt. And the ones you think it will be, the ones you’d want it to be- won’t be counted among them.
I promise you this.
Anyone thinking a protest vote will help anything should think about how much protest votes would have made Hitler pause.
Mussolini didn’t even care about votes at all and just marched an army of supporters into the capital and the king went along with it because Mussolini said he could stay on as a figurehead.
Franco fought a civil war to bring fascism to Spain while the capitalist States in the area watched on (and Hitler and Mussolini helped).
Israel continues to get support from Western leadership despite many protests and demonstrations. Western powers haven’t turned live ammunition on protestors yet, but they’ve done so in the past. I think the only reason they haven’t is because they have more effective tools that don’t generate as much outrage, but if those tools don’t work, I believe they’ll fall back to those methods.
The idea that a protest vote or boycott will help anything is naive with all of these examples of people who don’t care about protest votes or even election outcomes when taking or wielding power. The amount of protest votes it would take to matter would be enough to win the election outright. They don’t even have to do anything about them other than ignore them entirely.
Couldn’t tell democrats to try and please their demographics instead of republicans. No, the left vote is “owed” to democrats no matter how much they turn their back on those voters. And then y’all wonder why people are disillusioned with politics.
Well, when your entire political view is based on unsubstantiated rhetoric, I’d imagine it’s probably pretty easy to arrive at such a conclusion.
No vote is owed, my friend. That’s just something you all seem to like to tell yourself so that your smug arrogance has a semblance of purpose.
And trust me when I say this:
No one is wondering why you’re disillusioned with politics… disillusion- of course, being the keyword here.
Enjoy watching from the docks while rest of us pull this ship into port without your help.
“little rabbit you should vote for the bear rather than the wolf, he’s a much nicer predator”
If both sides are the same, then drag thinks the “both sides” must be the Democrats and the Leninists. Because those are the two groups who say they’re leftists but do little to help others. Drag agrees with the non voting leninists on a factual basis, and also thinks they’re complete fools on a practical basis.
