At least you're honest about it

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world -1 points 6 months ago (2 children)

No reason to hide it.

The shameful thing is being a proud Democrat or Republican after the last 40 years of regression for the American people.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (25 children)

The shameful part is people like you help usher in fascism so you can feel superior

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago (2 children)

That is numerically impossible.

My side has no power whatsoever.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Except to starve the non fascist of a vote which you admitted to

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

That is a falsehood.

You all deprive yourselves of our votes by failing to follow through on your promises, along with those of the half of this country that can't afford to miss a desperately needed day's pay in order to vote for someone they know is only going to ignore them once elected.

Your party is the problem. You don't get to beat people down and then pretend you're the aggrieved party because they didn't stand up with blood pouring down their faces and ask for more.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world -3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Yeah it's a falsehood unless you look at what the options are and have some ideas of what the future holds, which we do

What you're doing is entirely self-interested jerking, only useful to feel (falsely af) superior

I gotta say your username makes a lot of sense in this context. No concern for working together with others

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Thank you for your opinion.

Good luck with the election. Your entitlement to the votes of Greens without doing anything to earn them is definitely a bold strategy.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world -3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

You are aligned with Jill Stein. Just sit with that a minute

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Jill Stein isn't putting kids in cages or helping the Israelis commit Holocaust 2.0.

Sit with that a minute.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world -1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yes we all know that Biden personally drinks Palestinian blood but your leader thinks 9/11 was perpetrated by the US government among other moronic ideas.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Yes we all know that Biden personally drinks Palestinian blood

I mean, he might as well be. His response to the Israeli pogroms was to give them even more weapons. You and I get to pay for those weapons, which is more than enough for me to vote for someone else.

Your leader

I mean, on the plus side, she can form a coherent sentence, which Biden definitely struggles with.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world -1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yeah she is really good at spouting moronic conspiracy theories but let's make fun of the old guy with a stutter because he's an irredeemable child murderer. Your idiotic decisions totally aren't going to lead us to fascism, thanks.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

let's make fun of the old guy with a stutter

It's not the stutter. By now you've seen more than enough very public examples of his inability to think.

he's an irredeemable child murderer

He's at least helping a whole lot of them in Israel, with our money.

Your idiotic decisions totally aren't going to lead us to fascism

What's going to lead to fascism was his inaction when people's grocery bills doubled, or when their rent increased by 80%, or doing literally nothing to try and pass a minimum wage increase.

People don't care if the candidate of change is a fascist as long as he promises prosperity.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Ah, a trump simp. Got it now.

FYI it was the hilarious bit about Biden being the reason inflation is how it is. That's tucker Carlson bullshit.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

That is not what I said.

What I said was he's done nothing meaningful to change it, and that's not an opinion. That's fact.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world -2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

What's fact is that the president is not a magical wizard, but in FACT the economy has improved under him so even if it were all up to him your argument doesn't work

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Look up Nixon and his windfall tax.

The president is not powerless.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

so the options are "powerless" and "magical wizard". what a world you live in.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Hardly.

I just gave you an example of precedent and how former presidents successfully navigated similar circumstances.

You're just content to ignore it because it's too hard for you to face the fact that Genocide Joe just doesn't give a damn about the poor and working class.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Genocide Joe

this is screaming out loud "I like Donald Trump", not fooling anyone

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Or that, maybe, I don't think my tax money should be sent to a genocidal regime that is, in fact, murdering children en masse.

That you're able to process and accept this says a lot more about you than it does about me.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

The actions you are taking and have announced you will continue to take, will work toward significantly increasing the misery of Palestinian people. It's not guesswork. It's just basic observation of past events.

So yeah, I don't really buy that you care about them, if your reaction is a toddler tantrum that will definitely hurt them...

[–] Zorque@kbin.social 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

That's because your side is just you.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world -1 points 6 months ago

I know.

We have no power. I'm just shouting into the void because it's the only recourse I have.

[–] Bartsbigbugbag@lemmy.ml -2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

The concentration camp was never the normal condition for the average gentile German. Unless one were Jewish, or poor and unemployed, or of active leftist persuasion or otherwise openly anti-Nazi, Germany from 1933 until well into the war was not a nightmarish place. All the “good Germans” had to do was obey the law, pay their taxes, give their sons to the army, avoid any sign of political heterodoxy, and look the other way when unions were busted and troublesome people disappeared.

Since many “middle Americans” already obey the law, pay their taxes, give their sons to the army, are themselves distrustful of political heterodoxy, and applaud when unions are broken and troublesome people are disposed of, they probably could live without too much personal torment in a fascist state — some of them certainly seem eager to do so.

- Michael Parenti. (1996). Fascism in a Pinstriped Suit

Many people have been living under fascism in the United States for decades, suffering under explicitly racist police and judiciary systems, fighting against explicitly fascist foreign policy, and trying to wake people up to the explicitly fascist rhetoric of both democrats and republicans.

First they came for the Communists,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Jew.
Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me,<— you are here
and by that time there was no one
left to speak up for me.

Please keep voting.

Would I recommend you vote differently than you say? Maybe, but so what. Just please vote, and encourage others to vote.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Luckily my city has excellent early voting, so it's not too inconvenient.
