You are free to feel about that perspective however you like, but I personally (and I’d imagine there are others who feel the same) find the idea that you can’t criticize a major political block if you also criticize its opposition to be itself misguided and dangerous.
In what way is it misguided? Why are you on an anticapitalist platform instead of the Capitalist one, Reddit, if you don’t agree with leftist structures?
Surely the thought occurred to you that Reddit went to shit because it’s a Capitalist structure, and the things that protect Lemmy from that are the rejections of Capitalism?
Where did I say that? Democracy is voting on how to run things. You’re against that, you prefer a bunch of mini-dictators, I prefer workers to democratically run production.
What you don’t understand because you’re so incredibly polarized, is that we don’t have that luxury right now. It’s either drink piss or eat shit. Take your pick. But I’ll warn you that not picking- equals eating shit. Want an explanation? Okay. But just this once:
Conservatives vote. IN DROVES. A vote for Biden cancels out a vote for Trump. That’s how it works. And every voter that stays home, is one more vote for a dictator. It’s one more vote for oppression.
The problem with people like you, is that you’re holding out for an ideal situation in a world where there cannot be an ideal situation. You plug your fucking nose and you vote to keep us going until we CAN bring change. Right now/ we’re fighting for the SURVIVAL of democracy. In other words;
WE DON’T GET TO HAVE IT THE WAY WE WANT IT TOMORROW MORNING UNLESS IT SURVIVES THROUGH THE NIGHT.
And sadly… it’s stubborn kids like you that think you’re taking a stand by refusing to vote that don’t realize that come morning, there won’t be anything left for you to stand on.
YOU will be blamed when Trump wins. Just like how your kind let him win in 2016 because of what went down with Sanders.
Wake up. This isn’t a time to throw temper tantrums. Vote like your life relies on it. Because for many-
That makes a lot of sense. It’s deeply misguided and dangerous, but it makes sense.
“it’s misguided and dangerous to recognize that the good cop and the bad cop are both cops and both want the same thing from you” bruh wat

ROFL! I’d love to be there when you learn that life exists within the grey area between the boundaries of your extremist black-and-white ideology.
I’d imagine you’ll feel so much better.

Right… show me the nuance in your extremist bullshit. I’d love to see this.
What is my “extremist bullshit?” Thinking that democracy is a good thing?
You think democracy is tossing away a vote because of a single issue.
Where did I say that? Democracy is voting on how to run things. You’re against that, you prefer a bunch of mini-dictators, I prefer workers to democratically run production.
Pretty simple.
