I love blaming victims who lick boot

Do a TV show where he plays both, and the heroes gradually realise that he’s the same guy in different clothes, so they kill him.

Great username, shame about the Twitter

You’re telling me a shrimp fried this rice?

And Lemmy users are voluntarily consenting to become disenfranchised. They’re doing the billionaires’ work for them.

They’re voluntarily agreeing to stay home on election day, let Trump win, and kill the Palestinian protest movement by giving people new problems to worry about.

If it weren’t for these non voters, Kamala would have won and we’d currently be forcing her to divest from Israel. But instead we have Trump bombing Iran on Netanyahu’s orders and we have to do No Kings instead of No Israel. We’re stretched too thin because of these guys.

I find irrational hope and irrational despair equally easy to understand, but I’m always gonna side with irrational hope over irrational despair.

What I don’t understand is thinking that irrational hope is a billionaire ploy but irrational despair isn’t. Have you seen the world in the last 6 years? The billionaires love despair and hate hope.

I’m on the Wachowskis’ side with thinking that love and hope are inherently revolutionary. All of their movies are about people who believe in hope overthrowing the ruling class. The Matrix, V for Vendetta, Speed Racer…

I find it amusing that dbzer0 is all “Don’t advocate for electoralism (which we define as voting at all) here, you have the rest of Lemmy to do that” when the ratio is so unbalanced.

Are there even ANY pro-voting instances?

I think a better message here is “Democrats can deliver.” Socialists can enter the party and make positive change. In 2026, a lot of people have decided that’s not true, but there’s the proof it can be done.
