I commented on their meme about Kamala Harris being just as likely to commit war crimes as Trump with an admittedly snarky, sarcastic reply that basically said “some of us wanted to whatever we could, as little as it might be, instead of watching the world burn. Must feel real morally superior safe behind that keyboard”
They banned me from the community for it.
Kinda funny for a community that bills itself as “free from the influence of .ml”
Specifically, the person was encouraging people not to vote against the Republicans because the Democrats were just as bad. I mean yeah, both parties are kinda shit, but the party in complete power astroturfing on social media to convince people the other side is no better so they can stay in power, it just seems absurd to me.
I don’t know if there’s a good third option Americans can vote for instead, but it seems to me that keeping the Republicans in power hasn’t done any good for the American people. In 2016, Trump lost the popular vote but was appointed, so by the way the system works, he won, and he did a pretty shit job. He lost the popular vote in 2020 by even more and Biden won. He started a riot and tried to prevent the transfer of power. He won fair and square (AFAIK) in 2024, and he’s made things pretty much worse in his first year. So we’ve seen what happens when you keep the Republicans of this generation in power.
And these people aren’t even saying “if we keep the Republicans in full control of all three branches of the American government, they’ll stop these pointless wars for oil, they’ll stop waging war on the LGBTQ+ community, and they’ll stop waging war on their own citizens.” They’re just saying “the other side is just as bad.”
That’s what the conversation was and that’s my point. I don’t lie — I didn’t come to this thread to make my case. I’ve stated it plainly here because you asked. What I came to this thread to do was to support the OP.
