Americans of Lemmy, what is your approach to next year's election?
Americans of Lemmy, what is your approach to next year's election?
2020 was... truly unique. It was so hard to stay away from doom scrolling, and I (and many others) were pretty disillusioned by the sad fact that so much of our country legitimately supported the Orange Man. I didn't get a wink of sleep the night of the election because I genuinely considered it to be a make or break decision for America.
My point is that looking back on it, in the end the only real difference I made was at the ballet box. This year I'm going for the Head-in-the-Sand approach. I'm done with the political memes. Done with the Twitter screenshots. It just riles me up and this year I'm gonna do my best to fight that.
You're viewing a single thread.
Definitely voting for someone who doesn't support genocide for president. Down ballot I'll likely vote 3rd party as well, but I haven't decided for sure.
Congrats on helping to ensure you'll never again have the right to vote during traitor trump's fascist dictatorship that you'll be enabling.
Hey I'm voting third party in a deep blue state also, you wanna be wicked condescending to me too? Take that energy to the phone banks, I bet the democrats never tried making a total ass of themselves before.
Congrats on saying "genocide is an acceptable price" out loud
You act like Republicans don’t have stronger ties to Israel and haven’t discriminated against Muslims. Either you’re naive or acting in bad faith.
OR I simply refuse to endorse any singular candidate who has funded genocide. You can call me whatever you want for having convictions while your lesser evil funds a holocaust
Naive. Got it.
Unattended consequences of your actions. Learn it before it’s too late.
Take care.
So are you going to take responsibility for the 11,500 people dead (since October 7th) as the unintended consequences of your actions? You told everyone we needed to vote Biden to protect people in 2020, did he protect them? And I don't want to hear anything about trans people and gay people because there are trans people and gay people in Palestine, or do they not count because they weren't fortunate enough to be born here or born White? I'm naive but you sleep like a baby with your hands covered in blood.
I hope you can still sleep with all that blood on your conscience, colonizer.
I could say the same thing to people who made the same stupid choice in 2016 and let Roe get overturned. Oh look, that’s my point.
The largest benefactors of AIPAC and Israel in the house and senate are fucking democrats you dunce.
I feel like the dem party has facilitated each fascist aspect one could point to of the rep party. They are partners.
One hand washes the other.
If Trump is one vote from winning NY then he swept the board. There's no way NY goes red in any election that has NY as the tipping point state.
