On this platform specifically we've had months of smug people claiming to make the moral choice of directly or indirectly supporting the clearly worse choice. It's far too early to just let that slide.
If we in 100 years still sometimes talk about the early days of the fediverse where a bunch of morons fell for astroturfing, that's kind of a good outcome.
If they're real people they should feel bad.
For the not so real people, we should figure out how a distibuted system can deal with a concerted astroturfing operation.
Two weeks is pretty fast to go "let bygones be bygones" for people making such an obviously bad choice. We're dealing with extremely dense people here who had months to figure this out and still made the obviously wrong choice. It's gonna take some repetition for it to register.
I say we keep talking about it at least until after there is another democratic election in the US, or talking about it becomes illegal in open forums in the US.
Yeah, let's blame the people actually supporting Harris for her loss. That's a great idea. Let's all just keep falling for russian psyops or stay quiet to not "divide" us again
Great plan
Let's blame the people who forced her on us after voters totally rejected her in the 2020 primary. Some of us pushed for Biden to drop out far sooner and got shouted down. Some of us called for an open convention after he dropped out and got shouted down. Some of sounded the alarm about the Harris campaign running a Republican light strategy and got shouted down. How much failure does it take for establishment fools to shut the fuck up?
Acting pretty mad for getting exactly what you wanted. But thank God virtue signaling about Gaza will survive past the actual existence of Gaza
Honestly I’m drinking liberal tears up. Where were you for the past four years “pushing biden to the left”? Out to brunch! Don’t you know the economy has never been better?!
