awshit, you’re doing the thing!
Hey, aren’t you the guy who just called me a fascist enabler for not voting Kamala? Ohhh the irony
The difference is that voting for corporate democrats is harm reduction and abstaining is leaving room for the unabashed fascists.
corporate democrats are going to the media wing of the fascists to attack leftists but apparently the leftists are the fascists enablers
Voting for corporate Democrats is making room for worse fascists in the future, abstaining is forcing corporate Democrats to start representing their constituents
^ something that should have been understood decades ago, and you still don’t understand today
No it doesn’t. You have a two party system which makes things much more complicated.
Its just not that easy if your activism is reduced to “not voting” than it is completely meaningless.
Hey, that doesn’t actually work because they don’t give a shit. You aren’t “teaching the establishment a lesson” because they don’t actually need your vote to enrich themselves. Meanwhile the Overton window steadily slides to the right.
But maybe when the opposition is trump you should avoid to abstain?
Harm reduction is when you further entrench genocidal fascist oligarchs <- you
voting is not harm reduction
Yup, that the nuance is lost on you is expected. Have the day you voted for!
Well, I didn’t vote, so the only one having the day they voted for is you :)

Missing out on nuance from the guy who outright dismissed someone’s entire argument not via logic but via the political views implied by their Lemmy instance. Riiiight.
That’s a good attempt at a savage little quip, but as someone who can actually write those, I’ll give you some advice. You can’t just say “no u” while alluding to some vague nuance like a teenage girl alludes to her breakup in a Facebook post. You have to actually attack me intellectually, before insulting me intellectually. Kind of like what I did to you, see? For example, your comment would have been more effective if you said something like:
“I can dismiss someone’s opinion without thinking they’re MAGA. Maybe you’ll figure out that nuance eventually”.
See why that’s better? First you attack a weak point in my post, THEN you imply I’m stupid. The way you did it, it looks like you don’t really know how to defend yourself but felt mad enough to try and fail anyways. It is a tricky nuance, but you’ll get there, maybe.

If the opinion of me and those like me can be dismissed, why are you so obsessed with it? Why do you worry so much?
