No, you are a propagandist, trying to spread apathy amongst voters who could make a difference. You aren't trying to get fewer people to vote for the Republican fascists, your goal is to spread apathy between the people who might vote against them.
Still better than a genocide voter.
Everyday I wake up and I see Americans whining because not enough people voted for their favorite warcrimer lmao. Piece of shit. I hope you see your mum firebombed. My friend in lebannon did.
Would be good for you to experience your own medecine
I see my point is being proven already
Your point is amplifying troll messaging and rolling over to defeatism. It's about as weak as discourse gets.
No, you're just mad that I'm correct. You can't appease people, and people will complain no matter what you do. Therefore, the obvious conclusion is that you shouldn't vote to appease others, but you should vote in what you believe is right regardless of what others think.
Your "proof" is that there isn't a position that will win approval with everyone?
Yeah wanting Americans not to massacre people is holding then to an impossible standard.
It's not like they could even comprehend foreigners bring human beings
As a US citizen, yes my country sucks. It has sucked before and it's sucking just about as hard as it has since the trail of tears. I am embarrassed by my nation's leaders abetting genocide, defunding aid programs, putting people who live here in prison for the crime of existing, refusing to tax the rich or corporations, etc etc.
But there are a shit ton of us that aren't like that. We have a totally fucked election system, a flawed and vague constitution, and fascists in every branch of government.
It's really not all of us, I swear, and not by a long shot.
♥ sorry mate I didn't mean to hurt you personally.
I'm just so enraged
It's literally what you are doing, and the best you can counter with is with pre-school sandbox logic?
My point is very obvious and straightforward. You cannot appease everybody no matter what you do, and that includes voting, and therefore you should do what you believe is right regardless of what others think, whether that's voting for something or not voting at all... but I suppose this is just a part of some grand propaganda conspiracy to help boost the Republican party by sowing discourse on Lemmy. Do you even hear yourself?
Because the only imaginable positive outcome is appeasing everyone of course.
How about trying to minimize harm to as many people as possible?
Why do you hate Arabs?
Tf? I am Arab
