I agree with it being a symptom rather than the cause. Which is why, just like the case with Luigi, I don’t condone it but I don’t condemn it, either. He’s just a symptom to the actual problem going near critical status.

On the other hand, it is also a symptom of the system trying to correct itself, albeit forcefully. But that means I’m also worried when the symptom doesn’t manifest itself when I expect it to because it could be a sign of a lack of corrective feedback.

Isn’t that still better than legislators bowing to fascist pressure and letting them slowly gain more and more power until no one can stop them without a bloody civil war or a potential world war?

🤦

They won’t realise it. By that point, they’d probably think leeches is better than vaccine or surgery because it’s natural.

What’s ironic about me having imperfect grammar and appreciating those who corrects people politely? They both go quite well together.

It’s more ironic that you consider providing a short and concise grammar correction as being impolite but you decided that laughing at a minor grammar mistake to be acceptable for you to do.

Also, you forgot a comma before mate.

I always upvote polite correction like those.

Well, if the 90% of his base is why he was supporting Israel, I’m sure they are happy with this result as well, so whatever the 10% did doesn’t really change anything. You sound pretty chippy for getting to blame the 10% for everything the Democrats did wrong, so clearly you’re part of that 90%.

Why?

Yeah, as always with these things, it depends on which party is being made fun of. Like In Tropic Thunder, RDJ’s black face doesn’t make fun of black people, but of Hollywood actors who do ridiculous things for the sake of method acting, so it doesn’t become a racist joke.

Yeah yeah, continue giving excuses to the Democrats for not being as bad as the Republicans. They’re lucky they have supporters like you who will just take whatever bullshit they give out whenever they try and emulate the Republicans. Clearly you’re not satisfied with how right leaning the political system in America already is, you want them to go all the way. Considering how spineless their supporters are in making them shift their policies, I can see why they think it’s completely fine for them to offer mediocrity in the face of fascism.

Might be his only joy in life. Let him be, as long as he’s not too rude about it.

You’re using the same logic my dad uses to rail against going to Mars. He says there is no worthwhile reason to go there when more pressing matters on earth are in abundance.

Just like you, he is missing the forest for the trees, angrily ignorant to the fact that the knowledge you gained from trying to achieve a seemingly worthless achievement is the actual value, not in the achievement itself.

The achievement is just a convenient goal to make the science more exciting to the general public so as to garner more financial support from both private and government sources. Each of the steps needed to gain that achievement may not have gained as much funding as they do now if they were presented separately from that final goal.

The Democrats WAS offering something terrible. Just because Trump is worse, doesn’t make what the Dem offered not terrible. If your side had acknowledged this instead of attacking everyone who tried to tell you, maybe you’d have a chance at making the DNC offer something that the voters actually wanted and actually be able to beat Trump. But no, instead everyone that wasn’t blindly accepting everything the Dems offered is treated like the enemy before the election, and now you even continue doing so after the election.

You’re just living in la la land if you think doing this will make people finally support your cause. This is why I say you’re acting smug. You only care that you were right over these people, and not over the consequences of your action on your country’s ability to fight full-on fascism in the near future. What you’re doing is the same as the non-voters, making the wrong choice for the sake of teaching the non-voters a “lesson”. It’s just another chain of stupid decisions the non-fascists are making to enable the rise of fascism.

I’d say good luck dealing with the consequences if you decide to continue doing this. I might not be directly affected by this, by I would definitely feel the fallout after the fact. At that time, I won’t be blaming you any less for enabling fascism than the non-voters.

Why don’t you blame the cause for there to be so many apathetic people in your country instead of blaming the people who were only reacting to the treatment they’ve been given up to now?

It seems you people really love victim blaming when it conveniences you. I swear your insistence on acting smug for being the “right voter” is what will let Trump get full control of your country.

Hey, at least you can scream that you were right while your country crumbles around you. I’m sure that’s worth something.

Will Americans get tired of being pushed around? They seem to prefer helping the fascists by pushing each other around instead, judging by the repeated attempts on Lemmy to place everything Trump does squarely under the responsibility of the non-voters.

From my outside perspective, they like acting as the victim too much to actually fight back.
