There have been people pushing this on Lemmy all year (previously against Biden) and that’s correct. They can never really respond to logic about how their concepts would result in Trump being more likely to win, which would be worse for Palestinians. Or how Trump’s many other horrific policies would be worse for a huge number of other people, such as Central Americans and trans people. Just “genocide bro!!” over and over.
There have been a few pathetic attempts at making logic for it like “I can’t vote to support genocide!” (As in, vote 3rd party? So, convince an other wise D voter to vote 3rd party - who does that help? Huh) or “we need to send the democrats a message so they reform!”. Not by throwing the election to Trump, no. Someone a few months ago was insisting “we’re just not supporting Biden now to pressure him, then of course we’ll vote for him in the general election”. Ah yes, by smearing him all over social media for months, you’re supporting Biden and progressive politics. I totally believe that.
Right. I think people just see the downvote and pile on. It's easier than actually reading the post and figuring out the person's demeanor and whether it's sarcastic and so on. There are a few other dynamics about that. Some people look for people whose posts are downvoted so they can chide them, scold them, insult or argue with them. I have had comments that are originally misinterpreted or targeted for ideology that end up turning around, though. Sounding rational or clarifying in replies sometimes works, as long as the comment wasn't too far down before other people actually read it. If you get a defensive or insulting attitude, though, there's nothing people on reddit like downvoting more than that.
That's interesting! I noticed organic carrots often come with them and others don't, and had heard they're edible but had no idea what to do with them.
Some subs on Reddit are unpredictable. You may get totally different responses and it sometimes seem to depend what the first responses are. a couple of times I’ve made a post and the first answer is some sort of scolding “well you should’ve known better!”, And then everyone votes that up and the next five replies are the same… So I just deleted it, and reposted at a different time of day two days later, and the replies are helpful, sympathetic and supportive.
Because “greens” is the general term for plant leaves we eat such as spinach, chard, kale or the leaves of other vegetable plants like carrots. Some people just call them collards.
I started using WindowMaker to n an old laptop that was mainly for playing music and I ended up loving it. It kinda reminds me of using an Amiga. Super fast to start, lightweight in terms of ram, and does everything I need. I like the squishy luxuries of KDE sometimes but it’s been a little over complicated since KDE 4.
The dude has been told that countless times and obviously doesn’t remotely give a fuck. Makes you wonder why he’s going so hard for months on a strategy that could only result in helping Trump, huh? Sure af wouldn’t help Palestinians or “reform the democrats” as is claimed.
You don’t seem to have read or followed any of the logic here. Why’s that?
Someone who would otherwise vote for Harris voting 3rd party would help Trump win. Pretty simple. Not sure what’s so hard to understand about that. And Trump would be just as bad on Gaza, worst likely, and worse on every other issue facing the country as well. Not sure how many times we have to say it.
