That is a really stupid reason to let a fascist win though. Like, why should I respect or align myself with such a stupid group of people?
Which is exactly the question they were asking. You want someone to blame, it's the DNC.
You don't have to align with someone you vote for in a FPTP system.
And no, your suggestion is based on a false dichotomy. I blame the DNC AND the non-voters. I can despise both and do.
Exactly. Fucking tired of this "blame the dnc, not the voters" bullshit. I blame both.
I'm starting to find it odd that these people seem to be unable to grasp this.
So you have no care of causal relationships whatsoever so long as you get to spew your hate at everyone.
On lemmy? No. I'm not here to make friends. I'm here to scream into the void.
IRL, I have to hold in my thoughts usually unless I want to endanger my well being in multiple ways because pissing almost everyone you know off is a fast way to end up a homeless pariah.
Just because I'm not sure you understood, causal was not a typo. I did not mean casual.
Ooooh. Fair.
I used to care about causal relationships but now my brain has been damaged by the 2024 US election and I just can't mentally produce the energy to thrust myself out of the black hole of disgust and resentment, yeah.
The thing is I kind of want to go back to caring I was happier then but I'd have to somehow rewrite reality to not be surrounded by worthless sociopaths and anti-intellectuals. If you can't beat them, join them. I'm going to try and destroy my brain further with alcohol and ruthlessly make money now.
If your only options are the fascist or the guy who promised to bring the fascist to justice but actually didn't even try, then your problem isn't getting solved by voting in that election.
Maybe if you stopped viewing every single election as "this one has to solve everything"
It's not “this one has to solve everything” so much as "this one needs to even demonstrate an attempt at the promises given."
In 2008 Obama ran on codifying Roe v. Wade, but once he was in office? "It's not the time." The DNC has been lying to progressives since before I could vote.
Who said I thought voting would solve the problem? You aren't engaging with my core issue: non-voters were content to let Trump win. Are they worth my time and effort morally? Why?
I already know the DNC doesn't align with me perfectly, as a mutualist I'm against private property. But they're not fascists. I mostly just hate the DNC because of their weakness and ineptitude even more so than the liberal ideology.
That said, at least with the DNC, there is something I can get out of them politically with theoretically much less effort compared to the masses of non-voting 2024 morons who engaging with would be akin to trying to herd cats.
Hell, at this point: I don't even care anymore. I kind of hate the non-voters enough that I'm now fueled by spite for them. I don't care who wins elections anymore because I just can't fucking give a shit. Its obviously out of my hands and the non-voters are getting what they deserve.
I only feel sorry for the people who are faultless, like the millions starving to death because Trump's admin illegally shut down USAID, or the ICE round ups of innocent immigrants where they're probably being human trafficked, raped, and murdered.
