I have problems with people who abstained. The hard thing is, how do you change voter behavior?

You give them something real to vote for. Give them a reason to turn out. And there's a reliable way to do that. Hard policy. Universal Healthcare. Free education. Raising wages. Stuff that actually improves people's living conditions in their daily lives.

Because believe it or not, The World's Most Powerful Military and genocide do not excite any democrats that aren't members of the DNC Services Corp.

Whenever I look in the mirror, it reminds me of how others are to blame

People do not understand the significance of BRICS at all and BRICS currency. There is a concerted, sophisticated effort to get as many precious metals, gold, and oil claimed by BRICS countries as fast as possible before the BRICS currency comes out (backed by those same materials).

Look at a list of the countries with the most gold (that they admit to having). The ones that aren't BRICS include Canada and US for example. Look in Africa - the countries with precious minerals are the ones being fought over. Even Ukraine is being fought over partially due to minerals.

Putin owns Trump. https://lemmy.world/comment/13431373

And Trump even helped out China when he withdrew from the UN Special Counsel - now China is the president. Trump is also helping out China's claims to the South China Sea by renaming the Gulf of Mexico and trying to lay claims to it.

Hamas imo kidnapped those people due to KGB or other encouragement, then Israel/Netanyahu refused to rescue them and used them as proxy hostages gainst Biden to secute money because they had a deal with Trump and Putin. See Reagan and the Iran hostages that won him the elections - same thing. Otherwise the ceasefire in May 24 would have been agreed to (because Netanyahu thought Trump was going to lose and got cold feet, and maybe in a better timeline he did). I doubt Israel realizes that Iran, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and all the other Islamic BRICS countries are going to backstab them for that space which is pretty sacred to them.

Russia needs the US to become Nazis because that's what they justified the Ukraine War on and that's what they will use to invade us and Canada and Greenland for our resources. They need us to have a civil war and to be dying and poor etc before they invade.

Trump will also be starting massive drug trafficking and human trafficking organizations. He also expanded the death penalty.

Democrats decided genocide is more important than winning elections. Also, the ethnic cleansing of all Palastinians from Gaza was always what everyone in Israel and the US governments wanted. We will see if Trump's stated intention to do more intervention gives enough of a push to meaningfully accelerate this process. The break with the Democrats is just admitting this out loud, rather than some vague discussion of "two state solution" ignoring that Israel would never allow that, and that would require the US at some point turning against Israel.

It can’t possibly be real people posting this stupid shit, right?

Thanks Kamala

Democracy is being dismantled as we speak. Agency by agency, loyalist by loyalist, executive order by executive order. And instead of building community, helping each other and organizing with those around you, I see people, who supposedly care about democracy, about human rights, about those they accuse; and what are they doing? They are blaming people who are powerless and desparing. Thereby further dividing the populace and making the takeover easier for the fascists in power. Be careful: You are telling on yourselves and your values. And we can see you.

They are blaming people who are powerless and desparing.

you reap what you sow, these are the same people that were proclaiming EXACTLY what you're proclaiming now, just a few months before the election, 6 months prior, a year prior, two years prior. We've been saying this the entire time, nobody listened, nobody has started listening, and nobody will continue to listen, what are we to do if not watch the world burn?

[–] Saint_La_Croix_Crosse@midwest.social -1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Liberals have decided people opposing genocide are the problem rather than politicians willing to lose to even more fascist politicians. rather than supporting genocide less.

[–] Strykker@programming.dev 2 points 1 hour ago

Both are the fucking problem.

People who look at Trump and Biden and go, ew I'm not voting Biden because he supports genocide, are just saying they support Trump because he does even more genocide.

Fuck off your fucking high horse.

I find it funny how everyone blames everyone except for the Republicans who voted for Trump.

[–] nandeEbisu@lemmy.world 6 points 5 hours ago

they're a lost cause. they might learn when their welfare programs and fema aid are cut, but nothing rational that we can say will convert them.

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

If they had any shame it would make sense to blame them. But they're all ecstatic about all of this and do not give a fuck what anyone who disagrees with them thinks.

They would rather continue cheering on genocide and racism even more than under Biden, as the deserved retribution for not giving uncritical loyalty to the Party, rather than saying the Democrats should have prioritized winning elections over full support of genocide.

How is what Trump's doing worse than the genocidal carpet bombing campaign that was supplied/defended by Biden/Harris?

[–] zeppo@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Let’s see: it’s obviously worse. Wow that was hard

This is worth a block. There's no sense in saying the thing you're looking at along with the rest of us isn't there.

[–] MisterScruffy@lemmy.ml 1 points 35 minutes ago

What am I saying isn't there?

[–] GiantChickDicks@lemmy.ml 19 points 9 hours ago (5 children)

We had a choice between voting in a system that allows us some power to dissent and have a voice versus... this. The frustrating thing is this situation was just as advertised in Project 25, and then some.

We did not have an ideal choice, but we still had one. Now, here we find ourselves.

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

The neat part about nation-states is that I have to deal with the consequences of most of our population being fucking idiots.
