If this is the kind of mental illness floating on the left. strap up and strap in, The Republicans will never lose an election again. Even if they are legit

This is so bad it reminds me of the conspiracy theory that Just Stop Oil is actually run by the Oil corpos, with the aim of being so distasteful they turn people against enviornmentalism.

Why re-elect genocide when you can elect double genocide with a side of imperialism..

[–] lilaxo@lemm.ee 7 points 10 hours ago

Literally only the mental cases speak this way. By mental cases I mean the people that want destruction of a country for their own greedy reasons instead of building the country to what it once was.

Legit 0 IQ take, holy shit

A row of clown emojis is the only appropriate response.

Now that's some medical-grade copium.

I don't remember hearing any Dems talking about turning Gaza into a beach resort after they purge the locals.

Fuck Jill Stein and every additional piece of shit who promotes her.

Watch this hour long interview Mehdi Hasan did with her. She's fucking horrible and I'm glad the finest interviewer of our time got an hour to push her on her bullshit.

☐ Genocide and things stay pretty much the same

☐ Extra genocide and things get worse

☐ Waste vote (get extra genocide anyway)

"Democracy"

Its almost like money and first past the post elections only serve to narrow down political options.

Lol is this real? I've never seen a real person make that argument.

I assume they are just not-so-secretly endorsing Trump. Like, nobody is that dumb.

The Green party is fucking worthless.

[–] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 3 points 16 hours ago

It literally always has been.

[–] Krauerking@lemy.lol 15 points 23 hours ago

Especially with Jill "any attention is good attention, have you heard my album?" Stein at the lead. She doesn't want a political platform she just wants a taller soapbox to shout from and act smug from.

[–] Snapz@lemmy.world 7 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

This argument boils down to, "I want to be told there isn't a genocide while there still is. I just want the media gone and the watching orgs defunded and threatened so that I don't hear about it. Yes it's still happening at full speed... yes, it's probably even worse now... but I would have heard about it everyday with Harris. With trump, the news is talking about the gulf of America, so I don't have to see it anymore."

No, the argument is about presenting oneself as having superior morals regardless of real world outcomes.

Consequences don’t matter, only adhering radical ideology.

People should be free to vote for who best represents them while still counting their vote if their preference didn't win.

Passing state level electoral reform will not only empower the creation of stronger 3rd parties, but also force the legacy political parties to have to compete and actually represent people.

No more safe seats, no more hostage situation, no more voting while holding our noses, only democracy. More democracy was always going to be the solution to this problem. Who could possibly be against more democracy?

Whoa, either they're incredibly unaware of the recent news in Gaza or this is quite mask off about their side and goals. "the moral stain of reelecting genocide"? Give me a fucking break, the conflict was self-resolving right before Trump's inauguration. Now he's fanning the flames.
