What is going on here? Can’t be an LLM because at least the LLMs responses are based somewhat on what they’re responding to. This reads more like a script. I’m getting deja vu to 2015.
Comment on the two party system is just one big party
bearboiblake@pawb.social 2 weeks agoI have to concede that 99% Hitler is better than 100% Hitler in the short term, that much is true, but if 99% Hitler wins then 100% Hitler can become 110% Hitler. Then 99% Hitler becomes 109% Hitler. That’s Blake’s Lesser Hitler Theory.
We need to LOUDLY and unanimously reject “Vote Blue No Matter Who” narratives, otherwise there is no incentive for the Democrats to ever move towards progressivism.
We also need to work on alternatives to electoralism broadly. I think the Black Panthers are a great example to follow.

…and you called me bad faith. My first instinct was to ignore your reply, I should’ve gone with that.
alekwithak@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Which of your instincts was to read my reply before responding because I don’t see how anything you’ve said is relevant to anything I’ve said.
bearboiblake@pawb.social 2 weeks ago
I was directly responding to the question you pointed out that I “skirted”
You honestly think shit would be just as bad if a dem was in the Whitehouse?
I can understand the confusion but you can just ask for clarification politely instead of calling me an LLM and saying I’m scripted :(

What happened in 2015?
alekwithak@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
That’s around when reddit really started getting astroturfed by right wing and ‘leftist’ boys and r/conspiracy became r/thedonald and r/the Donald was all over the front page all day every day.

It’s someone who was indoctrinated in September / October 2024, was never deprogrammed, and has somehow navigated the interceding 15 months without reading anything?

Criminy, ‘vote blue’ doesn’t mean vote and then sit at home thinking your work is done. It means voting for the lesser evil and then continuing to leverage the whole of your might to making the system better. It means fight just as hard for justice, just do it while trying to pick a less evil bad guy to have to fight. You want a whole new system? Then fight for it, and vote blue while you’re at it because it’ll be easier to kick those idiots out than the outright fascists.

FYI your arguing with a tankies about “vote blue no matter who” when that fucker’s never even voted.
AntiBullyRanger@ani.social 2 weeks ago
Says the legit fascist.
13igTyme@piefed.social 2 weeks ago
Oh no. Tankies defending libertarians. Everyone run! They going to stand by and do nothing.
bearboiblake@pawb.social 2 weeks ago
I’m not a tankie and I have voted in every election I have ever been eligible to vote in.
bearboiblake@pawb.social 2 weeks ago
Sure, I get that, but if you always vote blue no matter who then there is no long-term harm reduction, it actually increases overall harm to have that philosophy. If you aren’t willing to withhold your support and vote third party then there is no incentive for democrats to try and win your vote.

What about short term crisis avoidance?
