I don't care who gets bitchy over this;

America chose bald faced fascism and genocide, over the chance to end genocide and not-fascism.

Suck eggs, whenever you can save up for them. The stay-at-homes are just as guilty.

Stopping the genocide was never a choice in the table with the red and blue party

There was no chance under biden or harris that the genocide would end without running to completion. None. They're both centrists, and genocide is the only policy I've never seen a centrist abandon.

Voted harris but refuse to carry water for genocide supporters.

Sorry your blue team proto-fascists couldn't contain their disgusting bloodthirst enough to win the election from the red team fascists. Think outside of this bullshit electoralist thinking for just a second.

[-] frunch@lemmy.world 6 points 15 hours ago

I'll vote so hard for the 3rd party next time! Just your wait and see

[-] NewDark@lemmings.world 4 points 11 hours ago

Read the last sentence again please

There was no chance to end genocide.

[-] index@sh.itjust.works 2 points 12 hours ago

Yes there was: not voting red or blue

[-] Zink@programming.dev 1 points 8 hours ago

That was the false sense of superiority choice, not the end genocide choice.

You have to consider the choices' actual effects on the world.

[-] index@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 hours ago

Making the correct choice has nothing to do with feeling better than others, it simply is the correct thing to do.

[-] Omgpwnies@lemmy.world 7 points 12 hours ago

Well, that's what happened and now you get extra genocide plus total capitulation to russia

[-] index@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 hours ago

What's your plan to stop the genocide? Begging the parties behind it to stop it?

[-] NewDark@lemmings.world 2 points 8 hours ago

If all third party voters swapped to Harris, she still would have lost. Vote shaming doesn't work and it's especially gross when it wouldn't even matter.

[-] in4apenny@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 10 hours ago

Crazy that Americans couldn't come up with a third, non-genocidal option.

[-] queermunist@lemmy.ml 3 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

Voting is not going to be what ends the genocide.

[-] index@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 hours ago

probably not but breaking the red and blue duopoly can do some good.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
