Yeah apparently on Lemmy if you criticize Biden or Kamala you want trump to win. There's no nuance of "hey maybe we should force a better choice than a genocide enabler who will stick to the status quo as it has been for the past 40 years and change nothing, or an orange more evil genocide enabler"
Like I absolutely don't want trump as a president. I also absolutely don't want my taxes and money going to kill innocent people. These are not two contradictory viewpoints but people don't seem to understand that. Hell, even Kamala doesn't seem to understand that based on her rhetoric.
I'm tired of the white house being concerned or disappointed by Israel. If your child concerned or disappointed you so much and didn't change his or her behavior, you would put in some consequences. Otherwise you would be a shitty parent. That simple.
Whether or not it's on Lemmy is irrelevant. If you're going to pretend not to know the outcome of every election for 50+ years, don't also pretend that only people on Lemmy are the only ones who do know.
What are you even talking about?
Yes this is what I'm pointing out. You're playing dumb.
Nah what you said just doesn't make sense so I asked you to explain but you didn't you just tried to insult me
Please explain what you mean
Yep, you're right. If I won't engage on your terms, you get to define my reality.
Right? I legit just responded to yet another poster who accused me of that! lolol
Prepare for your downvotes, friend. We can be downvoted to oblivion together!! lol
Great analogy! And yes, I agree.
The MAGA cult of Democrats is becoming just as toxic as the MAGA cult of Republicans. As this thread proves. lol
No one believes you really think Jill "9/11 was an inside job" Stein could get even 5% of the vote. Everyone here knows you're completely full of shit
I hope she gets 5% of the vote. Then this community can stop crying that she doesn't matter. But hey guys, if she doesn't matter, then why are you all so mad if I vote for her?! lol
5% would be a miracle and yet still isn't nearly enough to justify helping Trump, hell even if it wasn't someone as bad as trump I doubt it would be
She's not helping Trump though. She is running for president. She doesn't like Trump.
I'm voting for her, not "against" anyone. I'm voting for who I want to win. And that person is Jill Stein.
I don't care about the odds, or the Trump or whoever.
I'm voting for how I like. And the party I like. Which is the Green Party.
