I didn't read that drivel. Projection if I've ever seen it. You are hopeless if 2024 didn't wake you up.

Bruh I don't think they're the hopeless one in this discussion. 🙄

[–] hector@lemmy.today -1 points 20 hours ago

No, I am sure it's the one defending the democratic establishment that is in the right! gtfo.

It woke me up. People like yourself are dead weight and your type outnumbers my type in the left. So I'm riding out the end of days in hedonism. Going to fuck, drink, and play video games when I'm not working. Maybe save some money instead of donating or contributing to see if I can ride this shit out in some small way.

I canvassed for Harris because of the threat Trump's second term posed. I risked losing my job by hammering on about how people need to vote to keep him out of office. I finally fully destroyed a number of family relations by bringing up Trump enough times.

And after all that the establishment liberals failed and the leftists don't fucking care enough to prevent fascists from winning. They both suck.

That doesn't mean I'm going to fucking die in a stupid doomed revolution, holy shit. How fucking delusional.

That the US population is so astoundingly stupid as to let Trump win a 2nd god damned time means a majority of people are not worth fighting for. And the people worth fighting for are screwed no matter how hard I try because people like you drag us into hell.

So go ahead and not vote this year. Or 2028. Or hell vote for Trump. I don't give a fuck anymore because it hardly matters. The poster you were talking to seems to still care but I think they're wasting their time. We're already doomed, and 2024 proved it. Even if a democrat wins, it'll just be anti-incumbent bias and a republican fascist will be right in office again in 2032. The US is an absolute sea of retards.

I didn't read that drivel past the first sentence. Typical, projecting onto your victims, in this case those trying to get a winning strategy.

[–] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago

The strategy of sitting on the sidelines because Kamala didn't promise you a fucking pony? How well is that working out for you?

[–] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 1 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

You... already used that line.

[–] hector@lemmy.today -1 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Stop refusing to answer the question honestly and I would've stopped repeating it.

But now we can stop, because absent an argument with merit, considering I reject everything you think now without addressing the original question, I will ignore you.

You refused to read that comment past the first sentence, how do you know they didn't answer the question honestly or had a meritless argument?

[–] HalfSalesman@lemmy.world 1 points 20 hours ago

Why would strategy matter anymore?
