This is what you voted for protest-non-voters.
What’s interesting about them, and by interesting, I mean batshit stupid, is that they’ll be happy to take the credit in discussions about how non-voting sends a message to the establishment parties, but they become instant victims the moment the conversation becomes about how they helped trump to the throne.
And here’s where it gets funny:
All the credit; none of the blame. Who does that remind you of?
Nailed the vibe so perfectly.
I wish I could up-vote you about 1000x. 😮💨👌
It’s no end of insanity to see this shit every day. And the fact that they think no one notices this is just embarrassing for them.
CEOs and other corporate heads. "Privatize the gains, socialize the losses."
Nuh uh! They are moral angels, you monster!! /s
The most moral Voters™️ in the world, they wouldn't hurt a fly!
Unless it was on the ballot, of course.
I've heard that the Purity Ponies are much like Kim Jong-un - they are so perfect, they don't even need to relieve themselves!
Such magical beings. We could all aspire to be like them.
America isn't this way because of Trump. Trump is this way because of America.
Trump isn't the hero America needs, but he's the one America deserves. It's just a shame the rest of the world has to suffer because of American ignorance, entitlement and apathy.
Then why are the grand majority disapproving of him? His latest polls show 31-33% approval.
You people know nothing of what's going on here. You just espouse subjective rhetoric that Trump himself and the GOP loves to read.
What could be better than natural allies across borders unifying? Division is Trump's goal, and we can all see that clear as day. You're an accomplice to these evil people if your here to create the same results, perhaps even a "useful idiot".
Rethink your actions and words, lest you be exactly what I suspect you to be: a blatent propagandist targeting the western world.
Fascism is imperialism turned inwards. All this shit we've been doing to other countries (and foreign policy is consistently bipartisan) is now coming back to us.
It doesn't matter if the majority disapprove, Trump doesn't represent the things done in the US' brightest moments, he is the culminatiom and the product of the shadows. The nepobaby of a filthy rich, white supremacist mega-landlord in NY, shaped by reality TV that glamorized the most antisocial parts of human behavior, the product of no consequences for rich people despite fucking over THOUSANDS of contactors, employees, and businesses. I could go on about Epstein, Daniels, etc.
Are you surprised this empire doesn't show off its dark underbelly proudly?
So what are the 67% - 69% actually doing about it? Waiting for the fascists to run a fair election and honor the results?
Yup.
Not voting is condoning whatever happens, good or bad. If you stayed home, you rubberstamped all of what's happening.
This is what you're achieving by braindead infighting.
They spent decades and trillions of dollars on making sure Americans can't unite. Looks like the investment paid off.
While I agree with the sentiment, protest non-voting is already tantamount to infighting. This comment is just pointing fingers to set blame on another, which is stupid. But at the same time, calling for protest non-voters to unify with the rest of us should be the goal. That is the opposite of infighting. That's not exactly what OP was doing, but that is the remedy.
No. They were pointing fingers at, shaming the other side, and/or blaming it for the problems.
There's nothing whatsoever about unity in that message, and that's the problem.
Me: vote.
You: stop telling people to vote! (Or whatever that was.)
Unreal.
Welcome to Lemmy, this place is a fuckin trip. Wait till you hear the LLml bots tell you that North Korea is actually a good actually for really real socialist state. You'd think it's a circus what with it being filled to the fuckin brim with clowns.
It's not infighting, neo-liberals are conservatives, they're not the left as they're portrayed to be in news and media. The gulf of ideology between a leftist and neo-liberal is huge.
Sadly I think this doesn’t bother non-voters one little bit.
Of course not. They're rebels using apathy, and they're comfortable because there are no consequences. "You can't pin that on me, I didn't vote."
