I love how everyone in this thread agreed to move forward and support the Dems

Can we blast the last point with a megaphone 24/7 in people's faces or is that too much to get the point across?

There are none so deaf as those who refuse to listen.

As Mark Twain once remarked, "It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon him not understanding it."

I do agree with people voting. But the disanalogy is that in the last one both parties wanted to drive off the cliff. Neither stood against genocide.

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I mean, I would presume driving off the cliff, being a self-destructive act, is a reference to fascism rather than the Palestinian genocide.

But yeah.

Replace ice cream with cocaine and that's more realistic

Everyone's upset about the vegan ice cream voters not voting for regular ice cream.

No one is upset at the regular ice cream people for being unwilling to vote for a vegan ice cream place because their choice is default in their mind.

Both sides are holding each other hostage. One has a moral reason and the other just doesn't want to compromise.

And yet.

Well yeah but the one of the people who voted for ice cream downvoted a post about gaza one time so CLEARLY the entire bus sacrificing themselves just in case it might save gaza is the better option. Also there's an atomic bomb factory in a heavily populated area at the bottom of the cliff so basically the same amount of people as the entire population of gaza are going to die if this happens but protecting Gaza is more important than protecting loved ones apparently.

Do you think people who are too stupid to vote for their own and their fellow citizens’ best interests are going to understand it in analogy form? Just try a straight forward “Hey, when you use a stapler on your own forehead, it actually hurts you, believe it or not, you fucking moron.”

We tried. Unfortunately, they're too stupid to understand that too.

The problem here is having only two choices.

Where I'm from we have coalition governments. It's very rare for one party to have a majority. So they have to argue for months and come to some kind of agreement with other parties. The good thing is that everyone can vote for what they really want. There's not really any 'lost votes'. The bad thing is that the coalition forming process is messy and slow and the result is much watered down. But I'd much rather have this than a two party system.

If I had been a US citizen I'd have voted for Harris though.

The analogy is wrong right analogy would have been either drive of the cliff or push a kid bound to wheelchair off the cliff.
