The Protest Vote Paradox™
As we’ve all read time after time in the months leading up to the election, the Protest Vote™ simply states states that:
“We refuse to vote against a Tyrant-Felon in order to send a clear and concise message that we will not stand for [roll D20 for random popular single issue], and alongside our refusal to vote against the Tyrant-Felon, is a collective hope that the aforementioned clear and concise message- if ignored, is received under unmitigated duress!”
-Cut to Tyrant-Felon’s win, and the aftermath:
Wether observed or not, the behavior of the Protest Voter will attempt to achieve the following:
• Obnoxiously tell everyone “We told you all what would happen!”
• Claim there is “No way protest voting could cause trump to win.”
As both of these options cannot simultaneously be true in the same reality without breaking important time-space things that we would probably prefer not be broken- we are left with only a few logical conclusions:
- Protest voters have no idea what they’re talking about.
- Protest voters don’t understand the concept of hypocrisy.
- Protest voters have somehow learned to defy reality and become exempt from the concept of paradoxes, thus creating an entirely new study of theoretical science, known as Bulletproof Symbiotic Hypocrisy Theory, or BLsHt.
Something, something, something Ted Talk.
You forgot that they will also claim that it is the fault of the opposition to fascism party that they didn't "convince them to vote for them" even though they had already made up their mind ages before the election even started that they would never vote for the opposition to fascism party because they don't actually care about [popular single issue] or stopping fascists. They just want to feel like special little snowflakes who are part of the "revolution" and want to see the whole system destroyed and the violence that goes along with it because they're simply bored.
See the other reply for a perfect example.
What opposition? The Democrats helped pass the Laken Riley Act. Schumer is calling for bipartisanship. Biden told Trump, "Welcome Home." The only people who didn't go to the inauguration and clap like seals are AOC and Bernie Sanders, and one of them isn't even a Democrat. They're not opposition. They're collaboration.
lol. Bernie Sanders (the non-democrat) went to the inauguration hun.
Did he clap like a seal for fascists, hun?
Are you claiming he was the only one not clapping?
Pelosi, of all people, didn't even attend. So I don't know why you're trying to intentionally spread lies that Democrats are rolling out the red carpet when it's leftists who put Trump into office in the first place. In addition to handing Congress to Republicans. Not to mention are to blame for the first Trump presidency allowing him to stack the Supreme Court as well for decades effectively putting an end to abortion rights for women. Leftists should be deeply ashamed at this point. I don't know how y'all live with yourself. Oh that's right, horse-blinders and blame shifting.
No hun, I'm saying that the left are the only ones offering resistance to the fascists taking over America. You see hun, while AOC openly calls Trump a rapist and has been warning about Republican fascism for months, Pelosi claimed we needed a, "strong Republican party," and torpedoed AOC's bid for the oversight committee (in favor of an obscure geriatric who is literally dying of throat cancer). While Bernie has been warning about a rising oligarchy for years, hun, Schumer is calling for bipartisanship and allowing his members to vote for a racist immigration bill.
Also, hun, is very telling that you've sidestepped all of the substantive examplse I gave of the Democrats have enabled the flourishing fascist regime and only focused on the superficial aspects of opposing fascism. It's almost like liberals (like you, hun) can't imagine any kind of resistance other than a performative one. Isn't that funny, hun?
Lol. Your idea of resistance, hunty, is letting the fascists take power. I'd choose rational liberals over your fantasies of revolution any day hunty. Get bent, hunty.
Hun, I voted for Harris, hun. The thing is, hun, I blame the people in power, hun, for running a bad campaign, hun. It was their fucking job to win, hun, and they did a shitty job, hun. So you can piss and moan at everyone else, hun, or you can turn your anger on the powerful people that let this happen, hun.
And by the way, hun, I notice you're still not addressing the fact that Laken Riley wouldn't have passed if the so called, "fascist opposition party," hadn't let 12 of their Senators roll over and vote for it, hun. So maybe, hun, you should pull your head of of the sand and demand more from your party, hun, since you seem to think they're opposing fascism, hun.
Oh, and hun? if you think using, "hun," is, "hunty," maybe you should have said it, hun. Don't ya think, hun?
If we don't give the nation of Israel full control of the region, then we can't fulfill the prophecy to bring end times!
The fact the other side is even worst doesn't make your side less bad...
It's less bad than the other side. You do see how that works right?
And if the system makes it certain only one of those two options will win, the less bad is better, right?
And if it's better that it wins, you should vote for it, right?
Tell me where I lost you
Not standing up to worse makes it more difficult to move away from less bad because now you have to deal with worse before to can get back to dealing with less bad.
Actually it does, if one is objectively worse, then the other has to be at least the smallest percent better, that's just simple word comprehension.
Except for all the fascism, you know?
Compared to what?
A democratic country.
Reminder that the West Bank is the one that's not even ruled by Hamas and hasn't attacked Israel. If Israel tried to do this under Harris, no doubt weapons would've been cut off and the US might have even favored sanctions.
Ah yeah she draw the line at killing the wrong kind of arabs /s so brave
Finally I can stop wondering how the protest voters handle aiding and completing a genocide while claiming to have any sense of morality at all.
They ignore it because they never cared, that's IT! NOTHING ELSE. ITS ALWAYS SOMEONE ELSES FAULT BECAUSE OF THEIR NARCISSISM.
They ignore it because they never cared,
A friend of mine died in Lebannon.
Good thing they got rid of Genocide Joe to pave the way Death dealing Donny
You think they actually gave a shit.
Palestine was just the latest version of "The Issue"
Someone they can make their entire personality to make themselves look good.
FAFO! Big time. Bunch of idiots. They do not understand that Israel has the USA by the balls and this has been going on since the USS Liberty.
Maybe the political party should have conformed to the pressure of the people who vote in its party. Just saying.
Who? People go on about how if we just told Israel to drop dead, voters would turn out in the millions, but what actual numbers are there to back it up? The majority of people willing to left the world burn as protest are young and statistically, they don't vote, the issues be damned.
The simple reality is that this "Silent majority" of far leftists Internet pundits want the Democratic Party to appeal to does not exist. Biden didn't try to appeal to these people, because they were never really going to turn out.
These numbers
https://www.imeupolicyproject.org/postelection-polling
By a more than three-to-one margin, Biden 2020 voters who did not vote for Harris say they would have been more likely to have voted for Harris if she “pledged to break from President Biden's policy toward Gaza by promising to withhold additional weapons to Israel” rather than less likely.

Coworker: "I hate trump, he should never be president!" Me: "So you're voting Harris?" Coworker: "I don't know if we're ready for a WoMaN president"
Asking for a friend, where is the nearest cliff? He would like to go jump off of it.
Yeah. You're right honestly, it was too much to ask the Democrats to stop funding and arming a genocide. It's not their fault at all, no sir no way. It's the fault of the Palestinian Americans who refused to vote for people committing genocide against their communities.
Youre so smart. So principled. You know exactly who's fault this situation is. It's those damn Palestinians not wanting to vote for people arming genocide against them. How dare they.
The democrats had no choice. They HAD to keep committing genocide against Palestine. Poor Joe, he felt so bad for the Palestinians whenever he signed off on the next missile shipment to Israel. :( He even shed a little tear each time. The poor boy he just had no choice he had to keep arming genocide. He really felt so awful about it the whole time 😔 he'd sometimes even forget that it was happening at all and then remember and feel bad all over again.
It's so normal that you blame the Palestinian Americans who wouldn't vote for people arming the genocide of their people. Yup. There's NOTHING the Democrats could've done differently. You should just keep on defending them forever. You know what, you should do one even better and support them as they continue to slide to the right. Instead of fighting for the party to change, you should continue to blindly support them even as they support the indiscriminate slaughter of starving Gazan children.
I should hope the /s isn't needed here. I'm so fucking tired.
