I voted for Harris to try to prevent these horrors out of harm reduction.
But the Neoliberals haven’t given us anything to vote for for half a century.
Good cop neoliberals with affirmation ribbons/bad cop Fascists with scapegoats, both for human beings dying in the streets in droves as a threat to laborers to produce for their shared donors.
A vote for democrats is a vote for quiet slaughter, a vote for Republicans is a vote for loud, braggadocious slaughter. We don’t get a vote for peace. We don’t get a vote on the economy. Only the social wedges that don’t meaningfully effect quarterly earnings expectations.
Luigi tried showing us who our shared enemy is, and it isn’t their middle managers in DC.

I think you will be hard pressed to find Republicans on Lemmy. There might be some, but not that many.

They didn’t get more votes we provided less votes. There are absolutely US citizens on here that did not vote. This was clearly on the table. This is going to hurt, people are going to die, and we need to learn. You simply can’t let somebody like that get voted in under those circumstances and then expect to be able to resist.

Trump bragged about Elon rigging the election for him.
How many actually did stay home?

Enough of them. Face it, too many people fell for “Giant douche vs. turd sandwich” shtick, and it was enough to cost Kamala. I was happy to vote for her regardless of whatever nutcase the RNC ran, but AOC is right: there is a lot of hypocrisy in the Democratic party–citing the rampant insider trading and acting like money is only corrupting Republicans–and that gets exploited very effectively to fuel the cynicism all across the left end of the spectrum.

Anyone who believes the election was rigged is stupid as fuck. So when he lost it was rigged. And now that he won, rigged? So it’s rigged no matter if he wins or loses?
Bro, just admit you got played like a fiddle. They convinced you to stay home and not vote because you feel for the bait like all the rest of the lemmings.
