@lemmy.worldWhat do you believe will happen if those of us who do care, which are predominantly those on the Left, decide to step up and say we won't support a candidate?
Here's what I would do if I wanted to be a malicious and controlling dictator type:
First, let's assume both sides are the same. This is your stance so I'll take it too. That means that Blue wants what Red wants: To continue the genocide. The solution then is very easy: I convince the Blue side to step aside and allow Red to take control. I do this because I have wealth, I have power, I have status, I have the ability to suck up to Trump to save my own ass. If both sides are the same, Blue will do exactly as I've said. The end result is even better genocide, with golden stars on each day of the week another atrocity is committed.
Congratulations, both sides are the same. Which means the worst case scenario based on your logic.
Do you know why this is such a silly scenario?
Because whatever the Democratic Blue may be, they largely are not idiots. They know the game. They've likely held little debate sessions behind their definitely gilded doors and 100% golden toilets in argument for and against exactly what you just claimed. Why? Because **they're playing the same fucking game at every level. Moreover, they've proven they aren't the same, time and time again, which is a huge reason why no one ever agrees with you.
I am not saying your stance doesn't have merit. I AM saying that what merit it has must wait until we remove the current threat. Doing so means being in agreement, and it sucks. I personally want Bernie or AOC, yet you don't see the millions of people who agree with me championing them. We understand Gaza is a terrible situation and abhorrent. We also understand how it can get worse. Not just for Gaza, for Ukraine, and for the American people.
Though since you all like to strawman so much let me get in on it: If Trump is Putin's puppet, and Russia is at war with Ukraine, why are you saying that we should help Gaza at the expense of the Ukrainian people?
Mmhmm. So is every member of the Republican Party. Even worse, they have promised to increase hostility and support. Now, I ask you, and all the other parrots: What do you feel we should do about it that does not involve potentially giving the Republican Party control of the very thing you're verbalizing so hard to stand up for?
Petty bickering. Moreover, rather than discuss the topic, you're attacking the individual through some opinion or explanation they give. Even then you're doing it poorly. Come now. lol
Mods 108 communities?
What we have here, sir and/or madam, is a Reddit mod. Excessive modding, a smell you can't quite place, same techniques.
Gotta say: I was hoping we wouldn't be followed by that type.
Ya'll idiots still on that whole "both parties are the same!" rhetoric. It's old. You're dumb. Go back to bed.
Been waiting for this since Trump decided to attack her and her fanbase, and misuse her image without her permission.
Go on, you MAGA idiots, start shouting at Taylor Swift. I dare you.
The benefit of automating is really measured in hair loss and extra time to grab another coffee.
Sure. Except those on the Left won't. Couple reasons:
Can't agree on a reason.
Won't agree on a where and when.
Will disagree whether it's worth it right now.
