Essentially, there have been two reactions over on grad today:

  1. I didn’t vote, neither of the candidates were going to stop the war in the Gaza Strip, therefore, there could be no good outcome for the US, therefore I can’t be held accountable
  2. I voted for a third party, which Republicans will have to acknowledge and respect

          We agree entirely there.

          But, people are currently dying and will likely still be in larger numbers due to “allies” who care more about there own egos and performative leftism than other people. We’ve got a fascist party that has achieved, as of January, full control of the federal government and has stated that they’re going to do some genocide. The reasonable thing is to believe them.

      “Don’t you remember how hyperbolic we were about McCain and Romney?”

      No, I remember exactly what I said about Romney. That I feared his administration would bring in decreased workers’ rights, a damaged economy, and damage positive US influence on the world stage.

      God, I hate these fuckwits trying to play ‘Trump is just another Republican’ games. In 2016, maybe it was forgivable in a stupid kind of way. Not now.

      I don’t really think other Lemmy instances actually benefit from being federated with Beehaw - communities that ignore off-site downvotes are able to spread propaganda with far less effort than it takes the admins of other instances to delete it.
