  • they don't think that far ahead. they thing not voting is a protest and makes them non-complicit in the 'system'.

    just like all the dweebs who go on and on about how they are anti-capitalist in one tab while shopping on amazon in the other.

  • Your issue is you fail to understand how stupid and shortsighted and uninformed the average person is.

    I live in one of the most educated states in american, and plenty of people here are complete idiots when it comes to politics and pretty much everyone under 30 is anti-biden and anti-trump and pro-being a whiny bitch about life who refuses to take any accountability but delights in trash talking how everything sucks and the world will end. Along with some grandstanding about how 'alt' they are for being anarchist or communist or whatever. But if you ask them specific policy questions they lose their shit because they don't know and don't care. Politics is all about image/branding for them so they can feel smug and superior to 'boring old status quo people' like myself who will vote for Biden.

  • Fair enough. But running away stomping and screaming never helped anyone. This is a marathon, not a sprint. It’s incremental change. Not voting or voting for Trump will never bring about the change they are looking for.

    Precisely why conservatives are winning. They have been working towards their goals for 40+ years and they don't give up. They vote.

  • So are internet comments are terrorism now?

    Sad to see how quick lemmy is becoming reddit. I've already had lots of DMs from hateful angry folks with rage problems who take words on their web browser way too seriously.

    and the dumbos who go around downvoting all your comments because of one they didn't like.

  • no, because there is no such thing as universal happiness.

    everyone's happiness is different, and often conflicting.

    for example, my father's happiness would have been me playing football. I hated sports. hence, he hated me until he died for 'hurting him'.

  • That's how it works these days.

    I'm pro-trans, but I'm not pro-trans people in women's sports. This makes me a anti-trans nazi in the vast majority of leftie/progressivist people's eyes, who clearly is a closeted Trump supporter. It's the whole 'we must be intolerant of intertolerance' type fo thing... but they've twist it to 'we must be intolerant of any disagreement whatsoever with our unrealistic ideological agenda that has no basis in a factual reality'.

    There is no allowance for variance of reasonable opinion or an objective reality. You are with us, or against us, and therefore the enemy.

    Lefties and young folks who are left leaning tend to be as braindead and lockstep as the Trumpers they claim to hate.
