now, instead of a gaza genocide problem, we have a gaza genocide and iran genocide problem. that's of course ignoring the america genocide, the climate apocalypse, and the healthcare and economy crises, which were bad before, but now....
not that 3rd party/ abstainers are responsible for all this, but i really want to understand what they thought they would accomplish by yelling and shouting about the 100% guaranteed fail route of sitting out or voting for jill fucking stein
I’ve been asking for almost two years and no one will say. I get a lot of “screw you, fascist!” And “Oh, so everyone has to have a plan now?!?” amongst other head-scratching non-answers.
The most important thing appears to be to not be involved in any decisions, movements, or other political realities that might conceivably ever have a chance at existing in our lifetimes. I guess.
Honestly at this point most are indistinguishable from straight up FSB bots. Divide the left, no other goals.
you get to choose one and only one:
either the group that would not vote for harris is small enough that they don’t deserve representation, in which case the democrat establishment is to blame.
or the group that would not vote for harris is large enough to have impacted the election and deserved representation, in which case the democrat establishment is to blame.
you can’t have both
I think these are the people who choose "Do nothing" on the 5-v-1 trolley problem. i.e.: they would rather let 5 people die than take an active role in killing one. I can understand the moral argument, but it really does make for objectively poor outcomes.
The Trolley Problem isn't a correct Games Theory representation of this situation, not even close:
You have either been deceived by this propagandistic misuse of Games Theory and are now parroting it without fully understanding it or you are knowingly being deceitful for the purpose of supporting the leaders of your party.
Apathy is also participation.
They will tell you that AOC, Omar, and Mamdani aren't really 'Left' because they sided with the Dems.
Purity first last and always!
Well they get to feel pure and superior, of course.
