Comment on American workers are tired of waiting.
NerdyTimesOrWhatever@lemmy.today 2 days agoIm not and havent supported or defended pro-genocide people. My original point is that you cant magically fingerwaggle a perfect person into existence. Stopping excess damage with a person we can actually speak english to at a level above a kindergardener, and can be reasoned with via protest if necessary.
Not insane people are probably easier to talk to, yeah?
Being so abrasive makes others want to vote less. You are actively making people less likely to vote.

I’m tired of the insinuation that anyone who wants “not shitty all the time” is demanding perfection.
No matter how much contempt you have for the voters, they’re still the only voters you have to work with. The electorate just showed you that second worst loses.

“Not shitty all the time” is still not comparable to Trump. He literally sits in his own shit. The electorate was successfully stopped in multiple ways, including the explosion closer to the election about Palestine. Propoganda was used to push it crazy hard due to its volatility being so popular (in terms of clicks/views/whatever). I still stand by the point you probably wouldve held which is that we can protest to change minds. Larger protests against Harris and the USA as a whole continuing to support a genocide would have been more effective for keeping democracy around a little longer. We wouldnt get shot in the street for dancing in costumes or be consideres terrorists for protesting for LGBTQIA+ rights, as well.

It doesn’t need to be. It just has to be bad enough to keep enough people home. Second worst loses.
Maybe centrists should have joined in instead of shrieking abuse at the protesters.
