It’s simple. As soon as you see any Democrat that might beat a Republican, look up something they said one time that will make others angry. Try to make it something that will make it look like you’re taking the moral high ground and allow no room for nuance or common sense. Keep as many people from voting as possible so that the most fascist candidate wins.
That’s how .ml got more Gazan children to starve to death than have to! Err, I mean stopped Israel by helping Trump get elected. Mission accomplished!
Even if the constant rhetoric encouraging non participation had no impact on the election, which is debatable, it’s still very suspicious that so much time and energy was spent specifically attacking Democrats while giving Republicans a pass.
The large majority of the posts in this instance do not support what you just said. The GOP is objectively much worse by every metric on all of the stances that are touted on .ml and yet almost all of the hate here is directed at the Democratic party. At best the values here are extremely hypocritical and at worst it’s straight up gaslighting in order to prop up the GOP in order to advance foreign interests.
The Democrats have not done a good job but the difference between the parties is staggering and the objective of the rhetoric in this instance is obvious.
Genuinely disgusting how you fucking nazis who literally started the genocide and PLUGGED YOUR EARS when the subject was brought up suddenly bleed for the Palestinian people. Do you think we don’t remember what you were doing a year ago?
Go fuck yourself behaving as if these people are nothing but political pawns for your nazi fucking party of preference. You would be just as happy watching them be exterminated now as you were watching concentration camps on the southern border. We already have examples of you doing this from both directions.
You must honestly think we’re fucking stupid if to fall for your sudden act. You just wanted to be the one giving them the bombs.
Great, now spend this righteous energy fighting against the current administration. No? Just more posts about how Gavin Newsom is bad for trying to move the needle while continuing to ignore the actual fascists that you explicitly cheered for 9 months ago? Very fucking interesting.
Joe Biden during his presidency could have at any moment rang the phone of Netenyahu and said “stop the genocide” and not a single Palestinian child would’ve died from hunger or bombs or fire.
“current adminstration” because it’s not the current topic, the entire U.S. government is a fascist shithole democrats and republicans, what do you want me to criticise? “oh I don’t like how he’s an outright white supramacists and how Elon literally saluted Hitler” this is common knowledge.
also, “fighting back”??? HE’S A FUCKING TRANSPHOBE, he’s not fighting back for shit
I’d say its more complicated than that but yeah absolutely that administration didn’t try to stop it, it clearly wasn’t their goal in the slightest. They did very little (though even that very little was more than the trump administration has ever done or tried to) but I’m not gonna act like Kamala Harris would have been like the fuckin savior of Gaza cause that’s just false.
However, if Harris had won the election, we would:
not have people sent to concentration camps in El Salvador
not have a concentration camp in the Everglades
not have the mass militarization of ICE
not hace the total loss of due process for immigration cases and people being kidnapped by federal officers off the street
not have millions of people losing Medicaid
not have the national guard marching on the streets of DC
not have Texas gerrymandering 5 seats in the middle of the term at the president’s request
not have the CDC, HHS, and millions of dollars in funding for research gutted
not have environmental programs and research gutted
not have a convicted rapist in the oval office
not have students deported for protesting
there’s like dozens more things that I could list tbh
still have a genocide in gaza
I totally understand why people were really upset about that last point. I was/am too. But I have a few thoughts:
If you thought Trump would have been better for gazans than Harris, you’re a fucking idiot.
If you think those two were equally bad because of that single issue, then you’re a fucking idiot.
If you didn’t vote to make a point about how we need something better than those two options, you contributed far more towards Trump’s victory than you did to making that point, especially since the democratic party is full of imbeciles who will see your missing vote and interpret it as meaning they need to become more “moderate.”
I’m sure the people getting deported to concentration camps and losing their healthcare will understand that you not voting was just to save the children in gaza (oh wait, they’re dying anyway)
Edit: also are you genuinely claiming that Harris would have done all of those things that I listed? Every single one of them? Be so for real. If that’s actually where your head is at you are so unbelievably out of touch I think you’re beyond saving.

Lemmy.ml had zero impact on the election. The Dems ran a horrible campaign and lost because of it.

The GOP was never given a pass, it’s just that the DNC wasn’t either.

Do you honestly think lemmy.ml had any sort of impact on the US elections lol
Is there an acceptable amount of Gazan children to starve?
No, but less is better than more

Suspicious lack of criticism of the current administration on here though.
Suspicious influx of posts trashing Gavin Newsom as soon as he starts fighting back against the current administration on here though.

Server provincialism is so weird to me.
It really is. Mods should be moderators not tyrants.
You’re not allowed to build a community around shared values
YOU MUST SUFFER ME
If the shared values are helping fascists win then yes
