While her statement is over reaching, she does have a valid point. It will be easier to raise a resistance against trump than harris. This of course benefits her the most if that resistance can vote for her and her party. But it is still a valid point among the spin.

Not sure how when the media, social media, including the new tech (ai), is all in the pocket of trump (or vise versa it doesn’t really matter).

We might have decades of authoritarian rule on our hands. I don’t think sacrificing our neighbors was particularly worth the hope that somehow fascists are easier to fight than liberals. Maybe if you’re a certain demographic. For the rest of us? Fucked.

Not so much easier to fight, but easier to wake up that large demographic you mention to get them to fight.

It will not be easier. I voted Harris. I was a Bernie supporter. My motivation to fight has never been lower. It is in the core of the earth.

My hatred of people responsible for Trump's victory is extremely intense. The idea of unifying with any of them, including the leftist abstainers, is absurd.

Sure, I hate the Trump voters far more, but the abstainers are also my enemy.

If it comes to down them or literal fascists, I'll do what they didn't have the moral backbone to do, and side with people I think are completely spineless, amoral, genocidal cunts to avert a worse situation.

In every other case, they can go fuck themselves.

I respect pragmatism but I just don't have it in me anymore. Part of me is now fueled by a burning spite towards these people so intense I want to go down with the ship. Contributing to a leftist victory now means I validate these accelerationist's desires to drag electoralists into extreme danger for their stupid delusion of a grand revolution or whatever the fuck. One that in the end is likely doomed anyway because we are up against a government that could turn us all into a bloody mist cloud instantly with its military.

Another other part of me wants to forgive them so I no longer feel hatred for most of my fellow Americans. I miss not being a misanthrope. I miss not being surrounded by evil people.

And of course and third part of me is blackpilled since climate change is going to get worse because of Trump and make it kind of not matter anyway.

IDK man. I'm tired.

Exactly this. People don't understand that if you're at the point where your only option is protesting in the street then you've already lost. I'm sure the Palestinians really do appreciate us standing around with a sign for a couple of hours.

Maybe glue your hands to the pavement and stop traffic, that'll really help them.

I don't think Jason Call goes by "she". Or are you referring to some statement by Jill Stein?

[-] Modern_medicine_isnt@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago

I just read poorly.

Yeah libs are suddenly waking up to all kinds of problems. They just found out that a genocide started on inauguration day.
