What a bullshit story. Imagine how stupid you would feel if the fascists you support had spent years calling people names, in addition to their harmful anti middle class policies and attempts to steal elections.

But the other party called them "weird" so basically the same, right?

God damn fascists are dumb. Y'all gotta realize that most people aren't as stupid as you if you're going to bother trying to convince others.

There are 10.2 million people in my state. If the choice is as straightforward as you're saying, Harris shouldn't need my vote to win.

I'm not gonna be shamed into voting for a candidate or a party that I find as toxic.

You could save yourself a lot of time coming up with and typing out these sob stories if you just say "I don't care about other people being hurt". It's only affecting other people right? Surely you will never be affected.

I cared for years. It wasn't reciprocated.

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

So you only cared if you thought you would be getting something out of it? Very Republican of you.

[-] hesusingthespiritbomb@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

No, I cared for years while getting nothing out of it. Meanwhile, behavior that was extremely upsetting to me was normalized on multiple levels. That care and respect was not returned.

So I'm out.

That's your right, but I do wish you would acknowledge that your motivations are selfish rather than pretending otherwise.

[-] hesusingthespiritbomb@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

It's not selfish to refuse to vote for a candidate that does not respect you or your struggles.

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

If that were all there was to it, no. But it isn't. You know damn well that refusing to vote for Kamala helps Trump, who wants to install a fascist dictatorship. But you care more about feeling morally superior than stopping the suffering a Trump presidency would cause. That's why you're selfish.

[-] hesusingthespiritbomb@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

You think I'm the one who feels morally superior?

[-] abraham_linksys@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

You don't have a clue about actual policy of either party do you? You're just talking in vague feelings and bullshit. Like I said, you could save a lot of time if you were actually honest with yourself instead of playing these word games.

This clown saw the meme in OP and said "me too!" without a hint of irony ๐Ÿ˜‚

[-] hesusingthespiritbomb@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Yes because that's what democrats want to bring to mind when they call Trump weird, government policy.
