At the very, very least, they are guilty of lopsided financial support and advertising dollars behind each candidate. The rest is largely supposition, though certainly COULD be true. Sometimes it's easier to accept that than that the other voters are dumb. I have no idea which is actually true
Also, this isn't exactly a fair statement since the primary was declared over before the majority of states even got to participate. Yes there is low turnout sometimes in states that get to participate, but there are many of us who would like to and can't, hence feeling like it isn't exactly a fair or representative process
Well if you want anything to get better you need to find common ground with those people and have a united front against facism. Even if you don't like or agree with them.
The reality is, some people struggled to vote for Kamala, not because she is just as bad (she is obviously not) or because they were paid bad actor agents of the far right, but simply because, despite being the better of two options, she just wasn't left enough to represent their views.
I'm not saying this is the correct approach or they did the right thing here. But the varying degrees of left constantly arguing with each other creates more and more room for far right fascists to trample us. You don't have to agree with them, but you do need to organize with them to make any real change.
It's that, or yell into the Lemmy void ineffectually at people who are closer aligned to you than the actual problem.
The left endlessly quibbling with each other with definitely not get us there or anywhere. Your beef is with the idiotic trump voters, not people further left than Kamala
This take is why you keep losing at golf
Sort of, just parents who made too much money to qualify but didn't want to financially support me though college.
Is this for video games or romantic advice?
Seems judgemental to me. Who are you to say what should and shouldn't be done??

Idk I mean that sounds ideal but I also think once someone has been a blight for all life on the planet for decades it goes a bit beyond being just "someone I disagree with". Curious if, in your mind, there is any hypothetical behavior or line to cross after which advocating murder does become acceptable?
Sometimes I also question if he does actually have loved ones or just sycophants and boot lickers but you never know maybe you are right
That's true, and a big part of why what is possible for everyone varies. There is some silver lining, chicken is cheaper than beef and significantly lower carbon footprint, some vegan options can be very cheap too if there is time to cook.
But yes, for this who have the ability and inclination to vote with wallets, great, with acceptance for others who don't have that option
It's amazing to be how seemingly rare this take is, at least among country leaders
