This you?

I did the same to VoteBlue for spamming the shit out of me every day since before the election.

Disliking what someone think doesn’t mean we care about what they think.

People really need to accept the nuance in a thing. Because included in this is the notion that one can “care” about something or someone they dislike.

For example:

I care about what Trump thinks about immigration. I care about what he thinks about the rights and freedom of our LGBTQ+ friends and family. I care about what he thinks about other nations and the diplomacy needed to maintain a relationship with each and every one of them. I care about what he thinks about our healthcare system.

I don’t, however- care about him.

This is how nuance works. Everything isn’t simplified down to this, or else that. Black, or else white. Up, or else down. That each of these things to exist, one accepts that there is also a spectrum associated with it that allows for a gradation of perspective that has potential to lean in either direction.

EDIT: I hope this didn’t come off as condescending. I didn’t intend it to sound that way. I’m actually only trying to offer a different perspective.

People can dislike both, you know this… right?

Why is this necessary anyway? There is no need for anyone outside of an investigation to see any of that.

If you think of the Southeastern United States as one giant house, then it’s a lot easier to consider it to be a state mandated measles party.

Murderer Tasked With Investigating Murder. News at 11.

That money isn’t lost. That’s my point.

Again. This is bad journalism. It’s not lost, it’s “lost.”

I don’t think you properly understand what an anarchist is.

The royal “we” is never a good assumption when you’re trying to be inclusive with hate.

They’ll autopilot directly to Russia.

I swear… that guy lives in a cartoon.

Since this discussion has erupted into an ad hominem insult-fest, I’m shutting this part of it down and stepping away to avoid being accused of bias.

The slap fight ends here.

Fair, I think I took this from a different perspective. Apologies.

I put the blame where it lies. with the over ninety million registered voters that didn’t vote.

This is not up for debate.

And that is because, of those ninety million registered voters that didn’t vote- it’s safe to assume that among them lies the difference between Trump destroying democracy from within the Oval Office and Trump rotting behind bars a long distance away from it. I was among those that chose to stop him from destroying democracy- I voted. If you didn’t, do don’t get to say this. Is that virtue signing? I suppose that all comes down to whether or not you consider doing the bare minimum it takes to protect democracy.

And as I said already, this isn’t a boast. This isn’t how I’d want it to be. But, this IS how it is. So… contrary to what seems to make you feel better, there are no virtues to be found here.

I see things for what they are, not what I’d want them to be, and not what makes me feel better about believing.

But if it help you to think I people like me are to blame, I suppose it doesn’t really matter anymore- does it?

That’s my point.

This has nothing to do with being a mod and everything to do with rational thinking.

I said nothing that I am happy about having had said. I just see the forest for the trees. Accepting the responsibility of facing reality has nothing to do with letting fascism take control.

In fact, if you were paying attention, I voted. Along with all the others that knew what would happen if we didn’t. So in that- WE tried to stop this- did you?

Let’s qualify this more accurately. It’s not lost. It’s “lost.”

Let’s all keep an eye out for the shiny new upgrades to putin’s war crimes in Ukraine.
