Narrator: Neither of them voted.
I know who I’m NOT voting for: anybody
Too soon… or too late time is a funny thing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Too late seems pretty apt in this case!
A friend of mine went on a date Sunday night. For some reason they started talking politics. This bitch ass cry baby mommas boy walks OUT on the date, WITHOUT paying for his drinks/food. Luckily my friend only had to pay for her stuff. I’ll give you one guess what his political leanings were. These maga morons got no balls
Morons And Genuine Assholes
Your friend dodged a bullet.
Our friends husband teld her he voted Trump.
It was one big nail in the coffin of that marriage.
I’m glad I live in a place where this would give you almost no info.
Because there’s more than two options.
I think a lot of us in the US have had this experience some time in the last 10 years. A work colleague or relative you don’t know that well. People tend to avoid talking about politics directly, and often the euphemism (as seen here)bis ambiguous enough that it’s a coin toss for what it actually means.
Yeah I’m not voting for a capitalist party.
Do you also refuse to use dollars, because they’re an evil capitalist construct?
You can hate a system and push for its improvement while still using what you can out of it.
What about capitalist lite™️?
I voted for the least capitalist party, but the most capitalist party won. Now the landlords are getting tax rebates and public services are running further into the ground.
A big chunk of apathetic people didn’t vote at all. By the time I retire (whatever that means) everything will be privatised.
Climate change please hurry up.
Climate change please hurry up.
Don’t want to get your own hands dirty actually making a change?
Too busy being a wage slave in an endless churn cycle.
Maybe if everyone votes for the least capitalist party every time…
Maybe if everyone…
But they won’t. You know that, I know that, random raccoons in dumpsters know that.
Is that what you’ve observed? What we’ve seen is that not holding political parties accountable for their past actions leads to them ignoring everyone except their donors.
You don’t have a solution if your solution starts with “if everyone would just”. That’s a hope or a fantasy. People won’t just.
The solution starts with you, Janet.
You need to stop pushing the idea that it doesn’t matter who you vote for and the poisonous idea that all politicians are equally corrupt. There are some very dangerous groups who have brainwashed you into pushing the very attitude that lets them get away with slowly eroding democracy.
We can have a little exploitation and suffering as a treat.
The fact that it’s only a little is the treat
Oh yeah like a little bit of cancer. How lucky.
Uh, yeah, exactly? A little bit of cancer can be fought and beaten. A lot of cancer is a death sentence.
Depends where the cancer is doesn’t it now?
Not really, no. Less cancer is always better than more cancer, no matter where it is.
You do know that everyone has a bit of cancer, right? Zero cancer just isn’t a thing that happens in an organism composed of trillions of cells. Likewise, zero exploitation and suffering just isn’t a thing that happens in a population composed of billions of people.
A little cancer is handled by immune reaction, a little more by medicine and surgery, a lot kills the organism. A little exploitation is handled by social reaction, a little more by political action, a lot kills the population.
No matter where the cancer is, less is better than more. We were in the treatable stage and you clowns insisted on skipping chemo.
According to every conversation I’ve ever had with a tankie that leaves you nobody to vote for, because EVERYONE is a capitalist.
CCP? Capitalist. Commie Russia? Capitalist. North Korea? Also capitalist.
On what planet do tankies go around calling those countries capitalist? You’re dreaming mate.
Can’t find those comments now. But I’d happily invite you to go into any tankie instance and talk about Russia or the CCP being communist, especially where people are ranting about the evils of capitalism, and see what happens.
Tankies on .ml seem to love the CCP as well as imperialist Russia and the USSR. Desalines (lemmy admin and .ml mod) actively bans people who disagree.
