Agree with you. But the last election was not the time to discuss that. The time was before by voting in local elections, or after by again voting in local elections.
You had a chance to make things better with Harris. But with Trump you might never be able to vote again.
This line of reasoning means it's never time to discuss that as long as one side is pushing facism. Who I vote for park commissioner isn't going to change the way this country is run.
People with your political instincts are why we are fighting the what we are today. You continue to fail to learn that you can't shame people into voting no matter how hard you try.
No people like you are why trump is in office and not her. Those that need perfection or fuck the world. How many people would still be alive today if not for trump. But at least you have ypur laurals.
I just saw a meme about how shame is dead. We need to bring back shame. Anyone who helped Trump gain the power he has ought to be ashamed.
We can start with Kamala, Biden, and everyone at the DNC. They could use a good stay in the public stockades for running such a monumentally stupid campaign. We could set up a stockade on the national mall. Everyone could come and throw rotten tomatoes at them. It would be great!
Cool. I am shamed, now what?
Change.
No. Now what?
Nothing, you already live in it. Try not to make it worse somehow, I guess?
If you feel shame but refuse to change your behaviour then I guess you're just an asshole. You know you are doing wrong but continue. There's nowhere good to go from there.
lol I say no once and you're out of ideas. I return to my thesis, people with your political instincts are why we are where we are.
I said you're an asshole (ban incoming i guess) after you said you dont care about feeling shame.
No idea what the rest of your comment is about. What is a person with poltical instincts and how did they lead to where we are now?
I corrected a typo, hope it cleared up a bit, but in case it didn't; the point being it doesn't mater what you think people ought to do, or ought to feel ashamed about. If your political method ends with, "Well then you're an asshole and I give up" at the first sign of resistance, congratulations you've perfectly described the democratic party for the last decade+.
Ok. My only point was that people who knowingly do wrong without shame are assholes. I wasn't talking about political methods.
Hmm . . . So darn those people with political instincts.
Ah, thank you, fixed.
