    Good thing all those “Genocide Joe” voters abstained from the election

    Something bad could have happened to those Palestinians

    Good job

      Do you realize that this kind of statement spits on solidarity with anyone but cynical centrists?

      I don’t know if you actually understand how much you isolate yourself.

      Do you think this is going to make conservatives like you who hate palestinians?

      Do you think this is going to make people more progressive in their politics than you like you?

      Perhaps you believe you are the voice of some less vocal silent majority and those people will find solace in your words? (where I don’t know)

      For awhile maybe they will but you are on a quickly disappearing sandbar…

      Honey, the thing is when you scream into the void like this with nothing but acidic cynicism, people begin to back away in disgust.

            This comment exposes a significant lack of understanding of even the basics of the US election system.

                In a 2-party system, a vote for one party makes the other party more likely to lose (depending on where you live etc).

                A vote for a third-party is effectively not much different than spoiling your ballot. It says you’re okay with sacrificing your vote to send a message, but you don’t care which of the two parties wins. Either is fine for you.

                Not voting is worse than voting third-party or spoiling your ballot. It sends the message that either of the 2 parties is fine for you. That’s it.

                So consider that if you think you sent a message against the Democrats with your vote. Because most people probably just sent the message that they don’t care if Trump wins, and they don’t care if Harris wins.

                    Why would any politician care about people who don’t vote?

                    Historically, it’s easier for them to campaign in swing states than to get non-voters to vote.

                    As well, not voting doesn’t send a clear message. That might’ve been your message. 9,699,998 of the others might’ve just not voted for Harris because she’s a woman. Who knows? Not the politicians, because they’re not on Lemmy.
