    You actively sought loss, despite all warning, caught in a fascist riptide, again, you didnt listen and lost, but you are the victim.

    Give me a break.

      You actively sought loss…you didnt listen and lost…

      I’m genuinely confused. What are you saying? The American voter currently only has two options: vote Democrat or vote Republican. Anything else, as it stands in present day America, throws the vote away.

      I think you’re saying voting Democrat is “actively seeking loss,” yet the only other option is to…vote Republican, which they wanted even less?

      Help me out here, as your logic ain’t logicing.

        They’re equating voting Democrat with being part of the DNC’s push to the right. At least that’s the only sense I can make of it

        Funny, I checked this third box that was on my ballot. Was that an error? Did some terrorist hackers hack the printing machine and put that third box on my ballot?

        When Blue MAGA took the Democrat party off the deep end into deep right wing fascism, I checked that box. After the harassment at the hands of Blue MAGA, most disenfranchised Democrats just kept the ballot envelope sealed.

        If you cant understand that everyone who fervently supported Harris, did not demand better, did not demand acceptable platforms, actively sought out defeat and a Trump presidency, then I dont know how to help you.

        The tragic part is that enough people allowed themselves be bullied into not voting ala “A VOTE FOR STEIN IS A VOTE FOR TRUMP!!!”, and we are now set up to just do this again, no campaign funding for the Green party, and still a long way way out of this purple fascist nightmare.

        Be prepared for at least 12 more years of Republicans, because I anticipate the next many election cycles, after this absolute shit show, are going to be Dems and Greens struggling for the left vote, Harris voters flipping Republican when the policy gets too left, and Republicans sitting back on their haunches thinking FutileRecipe and his ilk for being oblivious.

      despite all warning, caught in a fascist riptide,

      What warning? Most average people don’t understand your concept of fascism.

      A major problem I noticed here on Lemmy is some people use the “jargon” of their in-group without consideration of the audience they are speaking to. If you want to convince people you need to speak their language. A typical person here will hear fascist and immediately think Hitler, not government subservience to and protection of corporate interests at all costs utilizing the full power of violence of the police force.
