I mean, this is on me for not mentioning anyone in particular, but you can’t tell me this site hasn’t been erupting with rage and judgment since the election results.
Congrats on pointing the finger right away instead of thinking about what you read btw. Only you are allowed to be judgemental, it seems. Doesn’t feel nice when it’s you?
Whose responsability is one’s ignorance? A ruthless individualist would place the blame only on the person, ignoring the world wround them and the community or lack thereof.
I think everyone has a duty to be the best they can, and everyone is responsible for themselves, yet it is undeniable to me that we all live, and especially the people from the US, in an information system that aims at eroding the truth and our capabilities to gather it. I also think an important part in how this corruption of information works is by also eroding our empathy for the people who are “dumber” than us. You dehumanize ignorant people. You can deny it, but so many like you repeat this. You will justify yourself, which is understandable, no one wants to be the cause of suffering. And yet.
Dehumanization is the weapon of the enemy, we do not need it, we will not use it. These people won’t magically get smarter if you hate on them, in fact, they will take refuge on those that present themselves as loving teachers, but are actually ruthless abusers.
I guess it’s cathartic to hate those ignorant bums, see where that leads you
You are delusional
Did i ever say anything about excusing anyone? Are you able to understand nuance? That there are more than two positions in the world other than “with you” and “against you”?
Can’t you see that this attitude is what alienated enough people to push them towards the fascists who just tell them everything they want to hear?
Do you seriously believe “gamers” is a solid label? That everyone who turned on a PlayStation voted trump?
Look, rage against people who voted for trump is definetely understandable, and I’m not asking you to forgive anyone. But the rage you expressed is just a catharsis shot toward anyone, and risks of making you see the world in black and white. It’s not, and the enemy wins when you think that. When it’s us against them
It’s the truth, plain and simple. Your refusal to see it is part of the problem
Those poow wittle democwats and their multi billion dollar super PACS…victims of the intolerant left! /s
Yes i did, thanks for pointing out someone might actually say this seriously, much like the poster before me. added tone indicator
Yes, they are inhuman and our enemies and all their actions are without purpose, only hate. We must destroy them all!
/s
Margaret Atwood saw it coming
Oh okay, now it makes more sense
Correct me if im wrong, not American;
People in your family can know if you register to vote as a dem o rep right? I suspect that if voting registration was anonymous like normal countries a lot less white women would have voted for trump
We all have blood on our hands, we are all part of this machine against our own will. Moralism will get you nowhere
“My” tariffs? You think i am happy for this? You are part of those stupid americans maybe, incapable of understanding that not everyone that does not think like you is your enemy
Yeah it’s never the fault of the party, it’s all those stupid people exercizing their right to choose. Maybe if dems didn’t put all their worth in being “the least worst option” and actually tried to be a good party this wouldn’t have happened.
Your sense of superiority is your downfall
The problem is that everytime is “let’s wait for the election then push them left” and it never works.
This is not the fault of voters or non voters, it’s that American democracy is not a democracy, the parties never listen to the will of the people. And that’s why voting ultimately doesn’t change anything, because it’s just a pretext to make you think you are making a difference. As important as it is to vote, that is how our leaders view it.
Talking to people instead of constantly judging them =\ coddling
For a party called “democrats” you don’t really act like your neighbor is a person like you. They disagree so they should suck it up and do what you want.
Look in the mirror and find the source of the dems losses. Not non-voters. Your attitude
Get off your horse, pardner. No one talked about coddling. Just fricking talk to people like you actually want to understand their POV instead of feeling like you’re the only moral people in the world.
Incredibly hypocritical and “”“juvenile”“” is how you choose to act
A non vote is a vote, a vote against an elecotral system that doesn’t work. The fact that said system ignores non voters is a fault in democracy, not in the people.
Now, i can agree with saying “look, this candidate is so much worse that it’s worth it to go even if you don’t like it” What i don’t agree with is telling people that are OBJECTIVELY right in not wanting to be part of endorsing a genocider that they are like nazis, that the world is gonna crumble because of them.
Maybe if you tried to understand their point of view they might change their minds. That is the problem with you americans, like good patriarchs everything is a binary and if you do not think the same as me you’re automatically the worst interpretation of my enemy. You yourself might have not beahved like this, and i appreciate it, but most people in these comments automatically assumed that I wouldn’t vote or that I would encourage others to not do it.
I am just saying, stop being so judgemental when you don’t really know people’s reasoning for what they choose to do. People hate this attitude and the DEM party constantly uses it. No wonder they lose when it matters the most.
You’re the only one who put words in my mouth. Never have I said i am above criticism, or that anyone is. Maybe you’re projecting
