Who did you vote for then?

Fun fact: everyone who didn't vote for Hitler made it through the war with a 100% clean conscience, and did not regret any other inactions. /s

[–] Alcoholicorn@mander.xyz 17 points 6 hours ago

Reminder that Hitler lost the election. The liberals endorsed a conservative candidate in the name of unity, who won, and proceeded to staff the government with Nazis and made Hitler chancellor, in the name of unity.

The left, cursed with Casandra Syndrome, campaigned on "A vote for Hindenburg is a vote for Hitler is a vote for war."

Because there is nothing new under the sun, you even had the liberals who announced their endorsement of Hindenburg immediately start attacking the left for not supporting their best shot at defeating Hitler..

In the end, many of them did end up supporting Hindenburg. But liberals will always see the left as a greater threat than fascists.

these manufacturing guilt posts would work if we were not seeing dnc sabotage mamadani to favour predatory stooges just like trump. the “blue no matter what” is only for trash candidates that superpacs want. everytime we get close to a leader that we want like bernie or aoc or mamdani, dnc shows they work for the trumps not against them.

i am not a violent person so pls suggest how we can help get aoc elected in 2029 without doing a luigi on likes of pelosi and schumer ?

They want this. Look at this post from their perspective and it makes you look like joke to them.

I'm not saying this as an insult...

Know thy enemy.

Vote for Republicans = You're an evil Nazi

Vote for Democrats = You're an evil liberal, and liberals are just veiled fascist

Vote for third party = You're wasting your vote, you're probably just a foreign asset

Vote for progressives = You support neoliberalism that masquerades as milquetoast socialism

Don't vote at all = You're a privileged asshole who caused all these issues by not voting

It literally doesn't matter what you do or who you vote for, you simply can't win with these people. There's no appeasing them, they will forever complain about how you vote.

You forgot someone on your list. You. How would you describe yourself, I wonder? I know how I would.

[–] Gorilladrums@lemmy.world -1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Let me guess, am I nazi too?

[–] freddydunningkruger@lemmy.world 8 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] Gorilladrums@lemmy.world -4 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

I see my point is being proven already

[–] treesapx@lemmy.world 6 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Your point is amplifying troll messaging and rolling over to defeatism. It's about as weak as discourse gets.

[–] Gorilladrums@lemmy.world -4 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

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.

[–] brianary@startrek.website 2 points 52 minutes ago

Your "proof" is that there isn't a position that will win approval with everyone?

[–] freddydunningkruger@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

It's literally what you are doing, and the best you can counter with is with pre-school sandbox logic?

[–] Gorilladrums@lemmy.world -3 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

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?

[–] trxxruraxvr@lemmy.world 1 points 28 minutes ago

Because the only imaginable positive outcome is appeasing everyone of course.

How about trying to minimize harm to as many people as possible?
