The Democratic party sure as shit isn’t acting like they’re aware of the stakes.

There also isn’t such a young as siphoning from trump. That was Schumer’s fixing line and it was just as stupid when he said it

Nope.

The desire for Greenland is rational, but evil.

Climate change is going to open up a lot of trade routes year round as a lot of the ice melts.

Greenland is very strategically placed for controlling those trade routes. It’s basically the same reason Trump wants the Panama canel.

Edit: Trump is bad. It is stupid that I have to say this, but if you want to fight someone you have to understand why they do things and you can’t just assume stupidity as that reason.

We literally have a statement for this ‘Don’t underestimate your opponents’

A Lemmy client with the ability to tag Nazi members as Nazis when they like to defend the regime that has raped multiple hospital directors to death has been really useful.

No, you’re just not worth the effort.

Wow.

You’re just straight up insane, living in your own delusional fantasy. Have fun with that.

Gee… I guess the ongoing genocide the Democratic party is complicit in committing had absolutely nothing to do with it.

Nor the undemocratic primary selection of a geriatric without the ability to even debate that the the DNC knew was going senile back in '21 per their own leaked internal reports.

Nor was it the undemocratic selection of the person that ran a campaign around getting the support of fucking Dick Cheney, and said she didn’t disagree with a single policy decision of the afore mentioned senile old man.

No. It was the economy. The economy that was good as the entire DNC tried to continuously tell us, going so far as to call it the Biden recovery.

And the DNC has no responsibility for the economy. They certainly didn’t end every single very popular Covid era program and raise the interest rates so quickly, even though most of the inflation was provably mostly (more then 50%) from collusion of companies raising their prices. They even bragged about it during shareholder calls.

Your comment is so pathetically uninformed it is ludicrous.

You aren’t a responsible citizen, as you put it. A responsible citizen should be informed of current events to help them make the decision on who to vote for.

Go pedal your ignorant defense of the people that handed the election to Trump somewhere else.

No. It’s the campaign consultants that drove a failed strategy based on tacking to the right, and people like you that try to protect those consultants jobs by shaming others.

Saying politicians have to earn votes is not a moral statement in the same way that saying the sun rises in the east isn’t.

It is a statement of fact about the game board that politicians play on. Complaining about that is useless for actually winning. It just serves to protect those that failed you. ie the DNC’s campaign team.

EDIT: What does your view give you? A brief moment of self-righteous joy, with no improved chances of winning. You think trying to shame people you want something from will get them to give it to?

Or do you think treating the people you require something from as a power bloc that has concessions made to it is more likely to get you what you want?

Is an opinion held by people who want to lose an election, and would rather lose than have to entertain a single bit of constructive criticism.

Thanks for Trump. You should be ashamed of having such a short term viewpoint that got us Trump.

‘Logic’ like you just posted is what gave us Trump.

A political parties job is to win elections.

If you know a significant percentage of the population thinks like the person you responded to, and you don’t do anything to win their votes, then you are intentionally trying to lose as effectively as if you worked for the Trump campaign.

It gave us Trump twice, after all.

You know what didn’t? Promising people shit.

You know nothing about how I voted.

Stop assuming bullshit.

And no, it isn’t hyperbole. It happened. If you know any Palestinians at all, and you bothered to show an ounce of human decency and asked them about it, you’d probably find out was true for you, too.

That’s what happens in a fucking genocide.

Travel bans don’t do a damn thing for people that can’t leave the area they’re being genocide in.

Gaza’s borders are forcibly closed by Israel.

So, that argument is meaningless.

Secondly, the US could end Israel’s genocide with a single phone call, just like has been done EVERY OTHER SINGLE FUCKING TIME BEFORE!

That argument “but we’ve tried nothing and we’re all out of ideas” is either ignorant beyond belief or made in bad faith to argue for continuing the genocide.

How is that your response?

The person you responded to didn’t advocate an opinion about who should be president, but rather why the Democratic candidate lost.

By what fucked up process does that end up translating into you thinking that person was advocating for Trump?

Having your entire extended family disappeared over a period of a month is not significantly better than having them disappeared over a course of a day.

That isn’t hyperbole.

I personally know 2 people that that happened too.

Expecting people to vote for the people that did that to them, and then getting mad at them when they don’t vote is some of the stupidest “I don’t have empathy and don’t even want to try imagining myself in their position, even though I’m going to say I did.” bullshit ever.

I didn’t call you one.

I’m identifying you as one when you are explicitly saying you are one based upon your comments.

If you don’t want people to correctly identify you as a Nazi, you need to learn what the Nazis believed and not believe those things.

In other words, you need to stop being a Nazi.

The genocide that was already happening was already a mile too far.

Genocide is binary.

so those protests didn’t mean anything? what about the people who lost their jobs or positions?

So they exist now? That wasn’t what you said earlier:

where? show me proof of this actually happening. I doubt you can find a shred of it anywhere because it’s absolute bullshit. edit: yeah didn’t think you could. BECAUSE IT NEVER HAPPENED

That’s a pretty meth head head thing to post, isn’t it?

So, which is it?

Did protestors lose their jobs and educations or did they not?

Okay, Nazi.

This is literal Nazi speech.

I think the problem is that we teach that Nazi’s are bad, but don’t teach about their ideological positions.

Then we get people like you that hit the wall of cognitive dissonance when you hear your views are literally fascist. But fascists are bad. And you’re good, right?

And then we have the mental breakdowns and tantrums that you’re giving us. That’s the cognitive dissonance.

Same with that comment you made daring people post links proving that people suffered major consequences for their protesting and you preemptively edited it to say that they couldn’t.

Then they do, because it was a frequent and common occurrence and you don’t respond because you can’t admit, even to yourself, that they were right while there evidence is staring you in the face.

EDIT: fucking Nazi.

edit: yeah didn’t think you could. BECAUSE IT NEVER HAPPENED

I love how you edited your comment to add this. In caps even.

And there are two comments with tons of links because it was fucking common.

And you don’t bother to even admit you’re wrong. You’re too wrapped up in this opinion being your identity that you can’t admit you’re wrong.
