I don't blame dems for what the GOP is doing, I blame the dems for not winning elections. Why is it easier for you to accuse me of being an accelerationist than to accept that I don't want to see dems keep losing? The opposite of anger is understanding and all I am getting from you is anger.

The opposite of anger is understanding

That is meaningless nonsense pseudo intellectual bullshit.

It's also good parenting advice, which might come in handy in your quest to infantilize voters.

[–] edible_funk@sh.itjust.works -2 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I'm not infantilizing them, I'm blaming them for looking at Trump and Harris and not seeing enough of a difference to ensure Harris won, because that's what happened and it's all our fault.

Oh no, some overposting lemmy guy's "blame". Man do I feel "slammed". I'm going to change my behavior to whatever it is you demand right now. No one can argue with your electoral success or how you've gotten the dems to care about the issues the voters care about. Your work speaks for itself. *Respect.

Well if progressives and leftists actually fuckin voted... So many assholes here just abdicating all responsibility for their own lack of civic engagement like none of you have any agency. Fuckin pathetic.

and it's all our fault.

I actually agree with you on that one. Though I am finding i believe that less as time goes on.

[–] edible_funk@sh.itjust.works 1 points 23 hours ago

Nah if voting was compulsory and people were even minimally educated on the positions of the people they're voting for we'd have drastic positive change.

Blame your rhetoric for convincing idiots to not vote democrat in every election. The voters and non voters own this. We the fuckin people, but go ahead and absolve yourself from responsibility while doing republicans work for them.

You actually think i have that much sway with voters? Then maybe you should be asking me how to achieve such influence for yourself so we can stop losing. But I don't have such power, I am simply observing how the majority of Americans feel about things and that reality makes you upset so you blame the messenger.

[–] edible_funk@sh.itjust.works -1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Stop repeating republican rhetoric for starters. But you're having trouble there.

[–] zbyte64@awful.systems 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You know, you finally convinced me. Thank you for opening my eyes.

[–] edible_funk@sh.itjust.works -1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Clearly. Now go on and continue discouraging democratic voters like you have been.

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 0 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

You'll make a great servant in the upcoming fascist system. Don't ever think for yourself or champion any issues specifically, align with whatever the rich donors of your party tell you to align with. Heres a gun soldier! Go shoot those kids!

Behold an example of American reading comprehension. Build better strawmen. Jesus Christ lemmy makes reddit seem halfway intelligent.

[–] zbyte64@awful.systems 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No no, you convinced me that the only reason Harris lost is because people are dumb. I hope that motivates you to continue to tell others how dumb they are.

[–] edible_funk@sh.itjust.works -1 points 23 hours ago

Also racist, can't forget the racist.
