    I wish putting this comment in every goddamn thread was not necessary. But when we had waves of idiots shitting on Harris because of (doesn’t matter now, obvs) this - this where we are, where we’re going to be every fucking goddamned DAY - is why I said don’t do this, and they all farted and laughed and said I was bougie and transphobic and all sorts of bullshit.

    Y’know how far away the midterms are? Well, get ready because we’re going to do it again apparently.

    Howabout all the lefties who want to soliliquize the corrupt unsalvagable horror that is America and it’s evil fascist citizenry just agree to fucking vote next time? You want to go Stein, sure, whatever, do it. Just fucking vote and don’t give us that garbage about a corrupt system means it doesn’t matter. YES, IT IS CORRUPT, well done Sherlocks ya fucking nailed it NOW GO FIX IT.

      I know, I was there. I hate it so much.

      But everyone who is in that group has already heard it a million times. If that wasn’t enough to get through to them, then continuing to harp on it like this won’t either.

        That, like trump, is everyone’s loss then I guess.

        Just because they’ve gone quiet doesn’t mean they’re not going to start showing up or banging on about it in 17 months (assuming everyone makes it that far).

        They had an open floor with that shit for some reason - some communities were forbidden from calling them russian trolls, although that is a relevant and plausible possibility.

        I want no excuse. This will not stand, man. Look at this nation on fire. That’s why.

        Don’t vote? STFU or explain why you’re not voting (as it happened, some were not American which - ok? Why are they in the heat of a thread about US elections weighing in on whether or not people should vote?) . Some were former felons which - absolutely understandable and also bullshit that they’re not allowed to vote.

        Most, imo, were like a lot of us at some point - 18-22, newly independent and having everything figured out and wanted to sit by and watch the normies tussle over some bullshit about voting, but with a fun, kicky socialist/communist/other “twist”. Others, just straight up tankie trolls.

        Where are they anyway? I’ve thought about scrolling back but it’s too many pages in my app so I don’t remember who was talking that shit. Where’s the mea culpas? Where’s the next time I’m getting everyone to vote-s? They still buy that shit?

          They haven’t all gone quiet though, and you’re right, they still buy that shit. And it’s fucking infuriating trying to get through to them… I just don’t think the whole, “good thing we saved Palestine!” thing is in any way constructive.

          It made sense for maybe a month or two when we were all justifiably pissed and attempting to get them to understand and admit their mistake.

          But now, based on the reactions I generally see to comments like that, it seems to just entrench them more.

            Wow. How? Why? What misfiring region of the hippocampus can cause someone to think they helped by allowing this fascist to help destroy Palestine even more?
