The same can be said for the far leftists here on lemmy. This post is 5 hours old and there are no comments on it. Yet any post about Biden and they salivate while climbing over one another to throw gas on that fire.
I’ve seen others point out this fact and quite honestly- it doesn’t get enough traction.
There are a lot of bad actors among us here on lemmy. This really needs to be addressed.
What really needs to be addressed is the false accusations of anti semitism leveled against anyone who criticizes Israel.
And the false accusations of genocide supporter leveled against anyone voting for Biden.
You’re voting for someone funding and protecting a genocidal apartheid regime. And it’s not some place nobody knows about, it’s front page news.
What do you want us to call you?
“Responsible” would work for me. Because that’s what it takes to do the right thing for others, even when you have to plug your nose while doing it.
“An adult” also works if it’s easier for you to spell.
Because that’s also what it takes to have the responsibility to know that the best thing to do isn’t always going to be easiest thing to do-
Or even what you want to do.
Okay you’re an adult about to make yourself responsible for supporting a genocide. But I’m not sure shooting and starving civilians equals, “the best thing for others.”
I can’t change your inaccurate and ill informed opinions. But I CAN vote to ensure you right to have them remains intact.
I think there’s a perception of preaching to the choir here. A vanishingly small percentage of Lemmy users would ever vote for Trump, and Biden is just the default other option. You don’t need to convince someone not to eat a turd, but if the other option is to just eat a smaller turd, it’s fair to focus your efforts on getting people to opt out entirely.
FWIW, I will be voting, even though my vote is electorally useless, but I understand not wanting to cosign the actions of either septuagenarian genocide supporter.
Trump absolutely supports genocide. It’s proven. Time and again. So… Make no mistake, you’re getting genocide either way. And these people that think that withholding their vote will somehow change that are grossly mistaken. So they can either help their own country not become a fascist dictatorship (Project 2025) or they can throw a hissy fit and pretend they’re going to make a difference doing nothing.
Not voting doesn’t cancel an election. Far from it. It just makes it easier for the conservative choice because they always how up to vote while the left/far left don’t.
Nothing you said disagrees with what I said. My comment was all about the impulse to abstain, not advocating abstention. My final sentence calls them both genocide supporters.
I didn’t say it to disagree.
You can just say vote Biden.
Most people would see that that’s implied.
If we’re getting genocide either way then we should demand different options.
Based on when I’m responding to this, this post went up when it was night time for a lot of America.
Aannnd it’s not night time in America now… so, where’s all the outrage from the far left?
Because we don’t attend circle jerks.
ROFL… that’s all you do here.
