Did I lump you in with a group to which you do not belong? Heaven forfend!
Who is the “we” you are referring to here?
Except when we criticize the shit the DNC pulls you all show up and say, “oh, you just don’t want people to vote?!?!”
And who are the “you all”? iM pReTTy ShUr Im ThE OnLy OnE of MEEE!
In this post, one of you replied to me:
I don’t vote. Good people don’t vote.
So the concern isn’t unfounded.
You need to consciously work on eliminating these Reddit speech patterns from your vocabulary. It’s like nails on a chalkboard.
Your bespoke interpretation of the Lucy comic is self-serving and almost certainly wrong. Charles Schulz is long dead, so we can’t know for sure, but I’d bet if we could ask him what the point of the strip was, it would be something along the lines of “It’s funny that Charlie keeps falling for the same trick” and not “The reader is supposed to tsk tsk and say ‘Lucy really should cut that out!’”
It’s called slapstick. Believe it or not, it’s supposed to be funny.
You’re very confident in your prediction that accelerationism will work out in the end.
Did you vote for Trump? Because that would have been the rational decision based on your worldview.
I mean, Harris apparently met 75 million voters where they were at. HaVe U eVeR sToPPeD to ask UrSeLF Y??
Well, there’s a comic in the post, and a comic in the comment thread we’re replying under, so I just wanted to clarify which one you were referring to. The “Lucy and the Football” trope is commonly used as an analogy for a sucker who keeps falling for the same trick. In this case, it’s calling progressives who vote for Democrats suckers, implying progressives should not vote for Democrats. This helps Republicans win. Dipshit.
They don’t all have to be. Look closely again at the numbers and you’ll notice some are larger than others. Think of the implications of that.
Blame them all, since they’re all to blame. I’ve already shown how less than 5% is more than enough to give us a decade of Trumpism.
A lot of these “both sides” leftists fall into the 30% non-voter category, rather than the third party voter category, by the way.
National elections are so close these days, any of these things could be the but-for difference maker in any given election. Certainly the large number of non-voters you mention (I’m note sure if any of those election fraud claims are consequential).
But, in this thread, we are responding to one particular group that consistently helps Republicans win, because they’re the ones who posted it, and they’re here in the comments to be argued with!
You do it, lazy.
I’ve made my point about you people supposedly not being numerous enough to matter. A few hundred thousand votes is easily enough to matter if the election is close enough. And you never know how close an election will be before it happens.
Which comic do you think I’ve misinterpreted, cranky progressive?
2016 Election: Stein Votes vs. Trump Margin
Mamdani had to run against TWO Democrats because those TWO Democrats wanted to be mayor, and it’s legal to run for mayor. By the way, running against TWO opponents is easier than running against ONE, because they split the vote.
Yes… where do you think you’re commenting right now?
The Internet
Enjoying the Trump years, “anti”-fascist?
If you vote for Democrats in general elections, they’re not talking about you. There are a lot of dumbasses on the left who don’t vote, or throw their votes away on hopeless third parties.
