Fuck all the assholes that voted Jill Stein over Palestine or some stupid reason like that. It never was about Palestinians, and these assholes got us here: Hell
You brought all of us here, you deserve nothing
fuck the people that never even bothered to vote at all even though it’s literally the most important thing you can do as a citizen in a democracy
You know there’s more to vote for than president right, and more things that effect you directly. Not even dwelling on the fact that politicians earning your vote is the cornerstone of democracy, not candidates that have your vote no matter what because how awful the other guy is.
Always curious to hear when people lash out at other voters who have clear concise demands and a non-cursory grasp of politics if they spent the time to research and vote for the different props in their area, or if they just read the ads each side puts forth and just pick one. Or worse yet, skips them or randomly bubbles.
If you’re voting or not voting for one soul reason and only one soul reason then you are both a victim and enabler of The Southern Strategy. You did everything the GOP asked of you. You got played.
First of all, the fuck you think I didn’t have more than one reason?
Second, the southern strategy is about otherizing minorities to keep the working class fighting amongst ourselves, not about “single issue voting” as you seem to imply.
Third, a line in the sand is not the same thing as single issue voting. And (talking about the Gaza Genocide as you’re implying) genocide is a pretty hard fucking line in the sand. Your privledge is showing
Your lack of situational understanding is showing.
Edit: and the southern strategy used race as a single issue vote strategy during the Nixon Goldwater era, the core of it is single issue voting. Get people to vote, or not vote, for a singular issue and everything else is on the table. Hence the chorus of “I didn’t vote for this.”
For those of you keeping track, for this week it’s MAGA 5 / “Resistance” 0
Hey but the cities around me had protests that went till 2pm, only on a non-work day and family friendly so everyone could get their photo ops and be home in time to watch the game. That’s surley going to change things right? … right?
Read this if you’re having difficulty understanding the purpose of the recent protests.
I understand a bit deeper than that actually. These things aren’t happening with a two hour march on the weekend. This reeks of the BLM protests, where people just wanted to return to the status quo and go back to brunch. And people did go back to brunch and things just continued getting worse, with no systemic changes.
We need more than a two hour photo-op.
I take it you weren’t at these protests. At the one in my city, the end of the protest march had tables and tables full of resistance organizations signing people up to get involved, handing out fliers on ways to do more than wave cardboard signs, etc.
In many ways, protests like these are onboarding for the resistance.
I went to table myself, and saw none or even lingering crowds, but granted it seems like it may have been a local phenomenom for me.
I was just expecting more out of San Francisco
Maybe everyone was too busy doing this.
Nah thats kinda my point actually. It was a two hour photo-op, after which everyone dispersed to go shopping. No real demands, no shutting down of anything, state sanctioned, and directed by the police. That’s not a protest, it’s a parade. Offers no real contention, and no real threat to the powers that be. Often just serves to placate people into thinking they’ve “done their part” and go back to their normal lives as everything gets worse, and curbs people from real organizing.
I don’t know. I think it took at LEAST four “peaceful protests” to stop the Nazis, so you still have a way to go.
Lefties killing their own. It’d be funny if it wasn’t so tragic.
Imagine being this dumb 😂
But like, how would they know they’re dumb?
Drank the kool-aid, huh bub?
It’s Kaboom. Reddit has r/conservative for kool-aid door to door salesmen, and Lemmy has a handful of well-known names as our fediverse equivalent.
