Welcome to c/electoralism! politics isn't just about voting or running for office, but this community is.
Please read the Chapo Code of Conduct and remember...we're all comrades here.
Shitposting in other comms please!
Liberal family said people need time to mourn. I said fuck that shit, if you couldn't expect the outcome then you're not informed enough. They said it's good to have optimism. I said it's delusion. Maybe I'm being too harsh but their reactions feel so performative
I'm much less responsive to all the weepy "We will PERSEVERE and SURVIVE despite the coming fascist hell!" shit this time around honestly, I've seen how these people talk about people being bombed far away and my sympathy for the libs, even the more nominally left-leaning ones, has waned to virtually nothing.
rev up your resistance hashtags, talk about how Trump isn't presidential and civil until he starts bombing Iran and they start clapping like seals, and leave me the fuck alone
Denial is the stage of grief you have before you're having a grief.
Do what I've been doing: tell them they should be celebrating that the genocide was not majority-endorsed. (Yes, this is also a backhanded way of telling them they did a bad.)
