Might be his only joy in life. Let him be, as long as he’s not too rude about it.

You’re using the same logic my dad uses to rail against going to Mars. He says there is no worthwhile reason to go there when more pressing matters on earth are in abundance.

Just like you, he is missing the forest for the trees, angrily ignorant to the fact that the knowledge you gained from trying to achieve a seemingly worthless achievement is the actual value, not in the achievement itself.

The achievement is just a convenient goal to make the science more exciting to the general public so as to garner more financial support from both private and government sources. Each of the steps needed to gain that achievement may not have gained as much funding as they do now if they were presented separately from that final goal.

The Democrats WAS offering something terrible. Just because Trump is worse, doesn’t make what the Dem offered not terrible. If your side had acknowledged this instead of attacking everyone who tried to tell you, maybe you’d have a chance at making the DNC offer something that the voters actually wanted and actually be able to beat Trump. But no, instead everyone that wasn’t blindly accepting everything the Dems offered is treated like the enemy before the election, and now you even continue doing so after the election.

You’re just living in la la land if you think doing this will make people finally support your cause. This is why I say you’re acting smug. You only care that you were right over these people, and not over the consequences of your action on your country’s ability to fight full-on fascism in the near future. What you’re doing is the same as the non-voters, making the wrong choice for the sake of teaching the non-voters a “lesson”. It’s just another chain of stupid decisions the non-fascists are making to enable the rise of fascism.

I’d say good luck dealing with the consequences if you decide to continue doing this. I might not be directly affected by this, by I would definitely feel the fallout after the fact. At that time, I won’t be blaming you any less for enabling fascism than the non-voters.

Why don’t you blame the cause for there to be so many apathetic people in your country instead of blaming the people who were only reacting to the treatment they’ve been given up to now?

It seems you people really love victim blaming when it conveniences you. I swear your insistence on acting smug for being the “right voter” is what will let Trump get full control of your country.

Hey, at least you can scream that you were right while your country crumbles around you. I’m sure that’s worth something.

Will Americans get tired of being pushed around? They seem to prefer helping the fascists by pushing each other around instead, judging by the repeated attempts on Lemmy to place everything Trump does squarely under the responsibility of the non-voters.

From my outside perspective, they like acting as the victim too much to actually fight back.

Somehow the same logic is not applied when people talk about Linux. It’s always the developers fault if something doesn’t work on it, such as multiplayer games, standard engineering softwares, or even computer accessories.

The inclusion of those words is in the context of the post, which only talks about aid to people outside the US. Why would they talk about people inside the US or even imply they care about those people?

If I say I like the outside, that doesn’t imply I hate staying inside. You logic is akin to insisting I hate staying inside because I wouldn’t have included the word outside if I wasn’t trying to imply that.

Why?

No, that’s literally not what they implied. You’re unironically doing the “so you hate waffles?” thing.

Not really. It has more of a “show us what you consider good so we can tell whether your taste is actually decent and your opinion is worth considering, or your taste is kinda whack in the first place” energy.

Like what they did in this election? How did that work out for them?

I’m not being personal, I’m simply stating that insisting to push that agenda makes you a supporter of oligarchy. Attacking non-voters won’t make them want to vote more, it makes them disassociate even more from politics, which is exactly what the oligarchs want, so you can go ahead and prove your support for Trump’s takeover by continuing to help his cause.

So the non-voters all have future sight and can already see that Trump will win? Maybe what they actually thought was that neither side will actually help them and they are not informed enough to know that Trump will win without their help, have you ever thought about that? Seems all you actually care about is helping the oligarchy, so maybe you don’t even care to think.

The Democrats politicians who didn’t put Trump away and refuses to let go of their billionaire money for the sake of most important election the US is facing yet are the ones who voted Trump in. Blaming the non-voters is just playing into the oligarch’s hand.

Nah, the Democrats did that.
