    I voted for a communist because I was tired of both Harris style fascism AND Trump style fascism.

    you lot have a religious conviction in voting and we don’t even have a popular vote!

        And they’ll do it again because they simply don’t understand how math and a two party, FPtP system works.

        Instead they’ll cry that they aren’t being directly catered to.

        Oh look, there are some now.

          That’s exact it. I called this even before November. I said they would all run their mouths and scream gEnOciDE at everyone including themselves, and that if/when Trump got elected, they’d reroll as victims of their own bullshit.

          I suppose one could say that at least some of them have the balls to stick with their main character…

          the victimhood still remains.

            I enjoy Lemmy for the most part, but this popular narrative that you continue to correctly point out gets so tiring on here. The self-ownership, or self-sabotage by these self-righteous, elementary level critical thinking skills having, non-voters is sickening. If I didn’t vote, I wouldn’t take it as some moral victory against a fucked up system, I’d just accept my apathy.

        My vote was already ‘thrown away’ because the system is not set up to represent me.

            The system deserves to be treated with contempt, and organized outside of. I’m just beating the same drum I always do.

              'm just beating the same drum I always do.

              Take a look around. How’d that pan out for you?

              Oh, and… enjoy that drum while you can, because it’s going to be take away from you by the people you helped put in power.

                  Well… make sure you don’t avert your eyes when the full weight of what you helped accomplish comes pressing down on your brothers and sisters in the LGBTQ+, your mothers, your sisters… because we’re seeing it play out with immigration right now, but trust me when I say I’ve read Project 2025….

                  They’re all next on the list.

                    Yes, we all are, I’m visibly trans IRL too you know.

                    Recall the first they came poem?

                    Well this time around the verses would have started with Palestinians - really hard to be surprised when that same process plays out once more. It’s why I have the positions I do, participating in that genocide the way we did set the stage for where we are now.
