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

It really does baffle me that some people think a lack of an effort will bring about change.

[–] Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Removing your support from a party you previously supported is an effort to bring about change. Evidenced by the democrats trying to figure out how to get people to vote for them again.

I bet you think divorce is a bad thing too.

[–] Rhoeri@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Divorce isn’t something from nothing, so I’m not too sure what that false equivalency is supposed to do for you.

You cannot expect action from inaction.

I guess you never just ignored a toddler... lots of action comes from that inaction.

Its the same type of situation: would you make the best of a bad situation or blow it up? Would you vote for the lesser evil or abstain/vote third party?

How are you enjoying the divorce so far? Got what you wanted out of it?

[–] Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago (17 children)

It wasnt a personal reference. The point I'm making is that it tends to be overwhelmingly bad relationships end in divorce, as they should. It would be awful if people were forced to stay in bad situations like that.

The democrats have a horrible relationship with their party members, and so many chose divorce, rightly so.

Well the DNC is now forced to either pull their collective head out their ass or destroy themselves in spite. We'll see how it goes.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world -1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

You actually think the Democratic Party will ever have any real power ever again? Or any party other than the Republican Party?

You actually think the Republican Party will ever willingly give up power?

You still think these people give a shit about the law?

Amazing. Just amazing.

[–] Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Maybe you should give up on the democrats then. But its not their fault of course.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world -1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I would like you to find one shred of evidence that I was ever a Democrat or supported their party.

Then I would like you to explain why you think I give a fuck who's fault it is at this point.

[–] Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago (12 children)

Oh great I'll add that to the list of notes I keep about you. Very important stuff.

If you've given up so completely, why even bother to keep posting? The last thing we need right now is more pointless doomers.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Why on Earth do you think that acknowledging the reality that America is now a one-party fascist state is giving up? Do you think acknowledging that about the Nazis or the Italians was giving up?

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Look back on the words you wrote. Those are the words of a quitter.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Well you clearly know Flying Squid better than I do since I had no idea he was a quitter. Please tell me more about Flying Squid.

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Thank you for your confirmation.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I didn't confirm anything because I have discovered I know nothing about Flying Squid.

What specifically did Flying Squid quit doing? You say he's a quitter. What did he quit? Please present evidence.

Unless, of course, you've been lying this whole time. But you wouldn't be a liar, would you?

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You obviously don't want to see it. Not only a quitter, but a coward too.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Got it. You were lying.

Why did you lie about me to my face?

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The denial is strong in you; it's okay to face the truth, you know.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Sorry, I am not the established liar here. That's you.

Maybe I should just report you for trolling and harassment and move on?

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I'm sure you don't want to expose yourself like that or you would have already done so. After all, they'd see your posts too.

The slap-fighting stops here.
