worst opinion I’ve ever seen
A tale as old as time
Comment on Stay Mad
SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 4 months agoThis premise depends on the assumption that “everyone is stupid except for me!”
We can sum up the sentiment as “don’t choose the lesser of two evils because you’re fucking moron that forgets things easily!”

Tankie being triggered by reality… tale as old as… well not time… but as old as Stalin anyway.

It’s more that the worst thing you’re willing to accept becomes the new normal.
And then something that was previously unthinkable becomes thinkable. And then if you accept that because it’s the lesser evil, it becomes the new “new normal”. Continue in a downward spiral.
Look at the state we’re in now, with Trump and Biden. That’s the result of decades of picking “the lesser evil”.
At some point you have to say “no more”.

Agreed, and by this argument it will only get worse. The next versions of biden and trump will both be worse if we keep going the same route.

You’re ignoring the fact that people have been opting out of voting for decades.
People in 1968 couldn’t bring themselves to vote for Humphrey, and we got Nixon.
They couldn’t bear Jimmy Carter, and we got Reagan.
