Oh progressives are definitely weak. But numerous. A simple bare minimum vote would have stopped ALL of this from happening.

But you couldn’t even do that. So yeah… weak as fuck if you ask me.

Name one moment in history where abstaining from the bare mimimim to avoid catastrophic consequences results in a net gain.

I ask this because you’re trying to make this party thing where I’d title paring attention and reading for context- you’ll see clearly that It’s an ACTION thing.

Interesting that you went to progressives so quickly though. Especially since I never even mentioned the word.

That says a LOT.

As I said in another thread elsewhere on the same subject a while back:

The Protest Vote Paradox™

As we’ve all read time after time in the months leading up to the election, the Protest Vote™ simply states states that:

“We refuse to vote against a Tyrant-Felon in order to send a clear and concise message that we will not stand for [roll D20 for random popular single issue], and alongside our refusal to vote against the Tyrant-Felon, is a collective hope that the aforementioned clear and concise message- if ignored, is received under unmitigated duress!”

-Cut to Tyrant-Felon’s win, and the aftermath:

Whether observed or not, the behavior of the Protest Voter will attempt to achieve the following:
• Obnoxiously tell everyone: “We told you all what would happen!”
• Onnoxiously claim there is: “No way protest voting could cause trump to win.”

As both of these options cannot simultaneously be true in the same reality without breaking important time-space things that we would probably prefer not be broken- we are left with only a few logical conclusions:

1. Protest voters have no idea what they’re talking about.
2. Protest voters don’t understand the concept of hypocrisy.
3. Protest voters have somehow learned to defy reality and become exempt from the concept of paradoxes, thus creating an entirely new study of theoretical science, known as Bulletproof Symbiotic Hypocrisy Theory, or BLsHt.

Something, something, something Ted Talk.

Did you miss the part where I said I’m not taking the bait?

So all the judges stopping his bullshit from passing is nothing? Along with the judges that overturn his bullshit, that’s nothing also? And Corey Booker’s 19 hour long (and counting) filibuster is nothing? What about all the people that actually VOTED to try and stop this from happening in the first place? Or the people that fucking warned you this would happen.

Nothing?

You all seem to have an odd definition of “doing nothing” that’s for sure. Maybe if you all… did nothing instead of staying home during an election we’d be in a much better place.

Like what.

Denying it doesn’t make it untrue.

Cool! And denying it doesn’t make it not true.

I and many others have tried to explain this to you people so many times that I don’t have the patience for it anymore, so I’m not going to take the bait.

But you’re wrong.

They were programmed through the magic of Designer Outrage™ that unless there is zero genocide happening in Palestine¹, they and everyone else should abstain from voting.

¹ Ukraine was not mentioned because they couldn’t give a shit about the atrocities committed elsewhere as long as they could disrupt the election in America.

They are every bit as responsible as Trump voters.

A quick look through the modlogs show that the comment you made that was removed was an incredibly racist blanket statement that was deeply offensive to immigrants.

Perhaps it’s best for everyone that lemmy not have someone of your mindset recommending it in the first place.

*laughs in .ml mockery.

Removed by mod

ROFL! Yeah, because as we all remember- social media was chock full of registered democrats yelling at everyone to not vote for gEnOciDE jOe.

Man. You people will grasp at any straw you can find to avoid the responsibility of taking part in what caused this problem.

You mean like the protest voters and non voters were before the election when everyone with a brain tried to warn them that this was going to happen?

Becasue I don’t recall a whole lot of coalition building there. Just reactionary outrage.

Can’t have designer outrage without it.

Yeah. They’re the worst. They make it difficult to have actual atheistic views.

I said. “Apologia is fun! Isn’t it?”

People can be divided into two groups on the subject:

One consists of people who have incredibly short attention spans,

…and the other- people that think their country is the only one that exists.

My comment could be said for any one belonging to either of these two groups. The geography location of their ignorance is irrelevant.
