I swear I saw lots of “Genocide Joe” people around before the election so there must be some overlap of at least bots… now where are these ppl when it comes to Trump’s beach resort proposal of ethnic cleansing?
Comment on fuck this asshole
Lux@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months agoI feel like the overlap of fediverse users and trump voters is close to 0

Ah of course, the people who didn’t want Joe Biden to support genocide decided to vote for Trump so he could support genocide even harder. That makes sense

I try not to let perfect be the enemy of good, but I do my bit to make them feel unwelcome.

Yeah but there are a bunch of “I’m going to not vote to ‘send a message’! who cares if that makes the nazis win?” types

I wonder how many of those were Russian bots
blind3rdeye@lemm.ee 2 months ago
Previously I thought almost all of them were, but then I found out that someone I’ve known for years hold that view. Any mention that maybe voting for the democrats would be a good idea results in an angry speech about genocide; which somehow (I’m not sure how) even has them lean towards Trump.
I appreciate the staunch opposition to genocide. But its kind of weird to see someone take a single issue so strongly to heart that their reasoning ends up inverted such that the candidate they favour is worse even on their one issue.

Yeah, that’s totally fair. I mean, I guess it’s just a bot once removed, bots influencing your friend to swing to fascism
Robust_Mirror@aussie.zone 2 months ago
I don’t think Lemmy was really big enough to have THAT many bots. And at least of the ones I saw, if they were bots they’re doing an incredibly good job of making them blend, since many had a history of generally normal commenting before that time, and have continued posting normally since.
frank@sopuli.xyz 2 months ago
That’s very true. Bots once/twice removed? Like bots influencing the people posting here?
I can’t imagine you get to that conclusion alone

8000 comments in 9 months, dead silent shortly after the election.
Jesus.

You need an actual opposition party then. Blaming non voters is the dumbest thing you can fucking do and will make your situation worse and worse
blind3rdeye@lemm.ee 2 months ago
The opposition party could obviously be better, but I think they were strong enough that “no preference” wasn’t the right choice. (After all, choosing not to vote is essentially a vote that says “I don’t care who wins”.)

Democrats are voting some of the people in that trump is suggesting for roles. They’re enabling this shit too

Right, because the people who voted against trump are the ones that can–in a single election–dismantle and oppressive two party system crafted by an oligarchy feeding people the illusion of choice so they won’t riot. Of course the few of us who understand this and actually voted for the candidate with the best shot are able to do this. And of course we should have done this before all of the mass voter fraud being uncovered could lead to Trump taking an office he didn’t actually win. You’re absolutely right. Let me call everyone up and let them know we need to regroup.

You have no opposition party in America, your two party system also is a huge problem.
AoxoMoxoA@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I agree.
Labor party, Democrat, republican/ conservative, maga, etc. . And cut it out with this D/R bullshit. It’s maddening. There are people that have a serious moral issue casting a vote for some of the choices given.
I’m sure a lot of the people who sat it out are more informed and upset with what is going on than some of those that “chose the lesser evil”. They have every right to be furious.
