How much of Gaza, pray tell, did the people heroically save by not voting for a genocidal Democrat in 2024?
If someone is going to poke you in the eye, your best bet is obviously to let them break your fingers too.
Definitely stay home and put your balls/nipples in a mousetrap in november, that will save everyone.
Good. Don’t. You can’t seem to do it maturely anyway.
I’m not talking about you at all when it comes to voting. I have said vote how you want. You need my vote and that’s the whole point of this post isnt it? Let’s all hold Dems accountable? By all means let’s do hold Dems to account, but I intend to see it happen at every primary all the way down the ballot, grass roots style not by spitting on the least worst option. Hell, you can run yourself!
But when push comes to shove, I know hundreds of people who get fucked by the country headed right and I know 4 trans people who get hurt either way and it sucks. Considering that picture, vote for fucking Yoda who gives a shit? The fate of the world is not hinging on the angry trans vote, but it might hinge on people who would like to buy 10 years to install some candidates that don’t suck.
I’m in for “whatever is the best possible thing we can get right now”, but if you threaten to take your ball and go home where your dad beats you, then ok, cool power move.
You don’t have to support anybody. Do what you want.
Trump and the right are burning everything down right here, right now, not just you. Im not picking them or not voting to teach dems a lesson. Let’s be really clear: I hate what is happening to trans people, and people of color, and gay people, and Muslims, and Jews who are not aligned with the state of Israel. Not a single one of those hills is one I would die on if it meant more trump.
So call me what you want, sir/madam/xer, but weighing any group against wholesale collapse, I’m choosing the lesser evil. I will campaign and vote in the primaries to go as far left as we can get, but I’m not forsaking the only non far right party for any single group that is smaller than literally everyone. The math doesn’t make any sense.
You know what. You’re right. Vote red. Pick a Republican. That will teach the Democrats to notice trans people. Or don’t vote, that will surely help.
At the risk of sounding extremely dismissive, because it is, the world is literally on fire and you might not get to win your issue of choice in the next 5 or even 10 elections. Of course every person regardless of majority of minority status deserves to have their basic rights met and to be treated with a modicum of decency and acceptance. Of course. When it comes to elections though, R will come together for any one of no abortion, more guns, less taxes, go church!
The far left doesn’t win in the US, and won’t win, because, son of a bitch, there is not enough fundamental support for Mediterranean furry vegans with one eye who use glow in the dark blowy wheelchairs. And wouldnt you know it, all 900 trans people on Lemmy and their vegan allies cannot storm the palace by themselves no matter how hard you rage post.
Yes it sucks. Conservatives are a bloc. The left is not, and each of the 347 extreme minorities can’t play nice together unless their issue is at the forefront which makes a fundamentally impossible purity test for every candidate. Fuck people who are transphobic and good on people who are good allies, but there just isn’t a competitive counter block because the left isn’t full of group-thinking neanderthals.
I understand that you are mad, but you can’t win shit with 10 people. So do you want the lesser evil or would you rather deal with the obviously worse door number two?
Your last paragraph is functionally right. You can make your own choice and it sucks no matter what you do. Nobody is winning here. That’s how it is. Fuck.
The right is full of brainwashable morons and the left is all full of vibrant and unique non-teaming, purity testing assholes with stupid long Linux socks.
I’m not sure it matters who goes both ways, but I will agree.
He has made the argument that federal law (17rh amendment) supercedes state law on that front and so he’s allowed even now to start a replacement. He just needs to fuckin do it and let someone call him on it though if that’s his position. Take a page out of the trump playbook.
On the other hand, why should a party that wins a few elections when seats are open 40 years ago retain any sort of control? I know you said term limits and I agree, but even if the presidency changed hands every single time it’s possible to pack the bench by a) withholding appointments, b) by timing your stepdown, or c) appointing younger, less qualified justices to the bench for the express purpose of serving a long tenure.
I like the idea of term limits and also mandatory financial audits of justices and immediate family that result in felony charges for financial crimes or failures to report.
Where they forgot to remove there are co-author tags.
There are plenty of people who are interested in using tools that are available and also recognize that it is underhanded to hide that fact for people who feel strongly about it.
Hmm… I’m not sure I totally agree, but I will edit my comment for sake of argument.
Sounds pretty at least 1/3 gay TBF.
Lol no shit
Holy crap what a ghoulish photo of the moron in chief
You missed the part where you either sign in with your Microsoft account or cut your Internet, remove the webcam, fake your own death, and do the secret tap code in the bios to just have the OS without letting Microsoft into your butthole.
How many elections in a row do you have to do this before it works? Ive been hearing this same fucking moronic argument since Darfur 2004 and surely it was alive before then. Wouldn’t you know it, no appreciable change in candidates. You gotta go DO SOMETHING but that’s no reason not to also vote like you’ve got a brain in your head.
Edit:
Now hold on. I have now read some of your other comments and you’re suggesting a targeted approach. For you and those who are specifically affected, I DO think that is a sane approach outside of the presidency. There definitely are people though who make the same argument you are making, but instead mean “no one should vote for any Democrat” and that is, to quote myself above, fucking moronic.
I’m sorry for being so acerbic, but we are seeing the same argument in different clothes for climate, for gay rights, for conservation, for AI, and it is patiently intentional for sowing division.
