Can always count on centrists to gloat that no one had the option to vote against the genocide that gives their lives meaning.
Comment on North America contains some of the longest continuous decididous forest records on the planet.

look at all the Palestinians that were saved because we didn’t elect a warmonger like Harris.
this is an acceptable price to pay for saving all those children.

Ah, so everyone voted for Trump instead?
PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
If they didn’t vote, yes they voted for Trump.
anotherspinelessdem@lemmy.ml 4 weeks ago
Ah, so you’re saying the Republicans hacked the voting machines so anyone who didn’t show up voted for Trump?
Or are you saying they gained access to ancient Eldritch magics that did the same but on paper?
_stranger_@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Hack the voting machines? They did it the old fashioned way by closing voting sites in high density cities, violent intimidation tactics to keep entire neighborhoods from voting, dismantling mail sorting machines, destroying ballots, etc. The voting machines were probably compromised too, yes.

No. Some fElanous Armpit Stink did that.

Ya know, if the Democrats fucked off to conservative land and the Republicans fucked off to hell then the US could be a place where actual progressives are the opposition you could be voting for.
And look at how pathetically weak the Democrats have been during all this. They wouldn’t have do fuck-all if Harris was elected. Ya’ll need to stop praising the knife because it’s quieter than the gun.
JamBandFan1996@lemmy.ml 4 weeks ago
If you look at what Biden accomplished in his term he actually did quite a bit for environmental protection.
But even if Harris did do fuck all, it’d still be better than this
Soup@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
He also allowed the GOP to, once again, get away with literal treason and face no real consequences. Harris was his VP during it all, too. They do a little bit of good for the headlines but are functionally useless when it comes to addressing the major systemic issues that keep pushing that country to the right. Their pathetic complacency is a major reason why the far-right was able to get a foothold and they continue to show that they don’t really give a fuck.
I’m not stupid, I do know that Biden’s administration did ok at a handful of things, it’s just wild that you believe that’s enough. It’s like saying you had a good day because your partner didn’t hit you as though that should be remarkable. Ya’ll’re in an abusive relationship and need to figure that shit out yesterday.
JamBandFan1996@lemmy.ml 4 weeks ago
I don’t think it’s enough, but it is enough to vote for them over trump. If you feel otherwise I can only suspect you are privileged enough to not be effected by Trump’s actions, great for you, not great for the people being killed by ICE or blown up outside schools.
If there was another viable option I absolutely would not have voted for Kamala, but there wasn’t so your point so how is not voting supposed to be the better option?

They have been so incompetent and ineffective im starting to believe the whole “fake opposition” conspiracy might be true.
Soup@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Even if it wasn’t true, they are so consistently operating in ways that make it functionally true that clearly their entire way of being is just bad. Intention doesn’t really matter if both options are the same level of utter failure.

Thank you. It’s rare that someone criticizes the Democrats AND acknowledges that a third of the country (MAGA) would have to die before things could get better.

you may have dropped this.

No, don’t think they dropped anything. They speak facts.

it’s always about the democrats this and the republicans that with you people.
if I gave you the option between getting shot in the face by a Republican or getting slapped in the face by a democrat cock, you would probably choose getting dicked down by a progressive with HIV and blame getting infected because democrats refused to run a candidate with a smaller cock.
y’all need to realize that you’re just as guilty as MAGA is for allowing Trump his second (and potential for third) term, along with all the horrid shit he’s been allowed to do.
but you go on and keep bitching about democrats and railing against the machine you swear you’re not a part of. after all, you’re getting chewed up in it just like the rest of us.
Soup@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Wow, that was one of the dumbest things I’ve ever read. Why are you implying the only other option is a progressive with HIV? There have been plently of far better, progressive candidates in local, state/provincial, and federal elections/primaries in Canada and the US and I’m proud to have voted progressive because they have routinely shown themselves to be more responsible and representative of the working class and far less corrupt than the centrist and conservative options.
If “actually does things that will genuinely help instead of being friendly with corporations and genocidal nations” is a bad thing for you then, man, you’re just a fundamentally broken person.

That’s how the pro-genocide-and-nothing-else center views anyone to the left of their god netanyahu.
GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
I’m honored. thank you.
Because in the entire history of American politics progressives are avoided like they have a plague. nobody votes for them because the risk is too great that they won’t live up to the hype they build. everybody wants better, but everybody needs stability. you don’t get stability with progressives, you only get chaos followed by progress.
thank you for being so open about your choice. even knowing that your vote allowed a madman from taking over a country, slaughtering children in both Israel and Iran, even killing American civilians. ripping immigrant families apart, trafficking them across borders.
well done!
have the clap you deserve

Comparing genocide to a little slap in the face is for people who consider genocide to be morally equivalent to a little slap in the face.
