For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.
No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.
Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.
Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.
Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.

Okay, so I said abstaining increases the amount of genocide, voting D decreases it. You said that's not true, Trump wouldn't bomb West Bank. I pressed you to state it explicitly, you walked that claim back. I am now going to treat the debate on D being better than R as settled.
America uses the First Past The Post voting system. FPTP suffers from the spoiler effect, which guarantees that regardless of your political affiliation or the specifics of the situation, voting third party always harms your interests. This has been mathematically and experimentally proven. Voting third party is, in terms of consequences, the same as abstaining.
Therefore, in terms of consequences, you are risking more Palestinian lives than I am.

democrats: genocide with pinkwashing
republicans: genocide with magawashing
yes, another baseless assertion. here's what you're communicating to me: "my enemy is ontologically evil therefor anything other than supporting me is increasing harm".
The most notable genocide that's happened in the last decade has been with Democrats willingly participating.
Our presidential election is completely independent of the popular vote, I am participating in it because it's what we have, however you are kidding yourself if you think my vote has any influence on which genocidal maniac ends up at the helm.
You are Canadian and babyraging that people in a country you don't live in are not taking your political input seriously.
