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

    What do you think shitting all over the main Democrat candidate every where you can does to voter turnout? Seriously, you can’t be this righteously stupid.

    Congrats. What we have now is your fault.

        If your choice is between a naked emperor and a fascist dictator and you go around telling everyone to support the fascist dictator because the emperor is naked, you’re responsible if the dictator wins.

        Better naked than a fascist.

          I never told anyone to support a fascist, I asked the emperor to put on some clothes in order to be able to beat the fascist. The emperor stayed naked and lost.

            No what you did was tell everyone the emperor should be deeply ashamed for being a disgusting nudist and people should be disgusted by his nudity or they would be immoral themselves, when, for the most part, most people didn’t care about our were unaffected by his nudity. Then people started to feel ashamed and decided not to support the emperor against the fascist dictator.

              Listen, pal, if I had this much power over the electorate, we’d have universal healthcare. I appreciate how highly you seem to think of me, though. I think it’s much, much more likely that the democrats fucked this up completely on their own than some random people on Lemmy and Mastodon derailing their entire campaign. Though, if all it took to cause the democrats to lose was for a few people on Lemmy and Mastodon to point out that their policy plank sucked, it sounds like they ran a really terrible campaign.

                It’s cute to pretend it was only happening on Lemmy and Mastodon when in reality your accusations were being amplified in every social media platform including Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, Reddit, etc. as part of a concerted effort to take down Harris, likely by the rich billionaires who own the algorithms. But all they did was give you a bullhorn. The excoriation was all your own. And you played right into their hands.

                  No, yeah, you’re right. It couldn’t be the fact that the people promising the biggest changes, for better or worse, have won the last five elections. It must be that internet leftists cyberbullied the democrats to death.
