Aquaphobi@lemmy.zipto News@lemmy.world•Kamala Harris' Book Tour Launch Interrupted by Gaza Protesters: 'I'm Not President Right Now'2814·7 days agoYeah it’s bullshit. I voted third party because dems decided Israel is worth supporting. But let’s be mathematically accurate here.
Even if all the people who DID vote that did not vote republican had voted for the democrat, there would not have been enough electoral college influence to affect the outcome.
You would have needed more non-voters to vote. But a non-voter then was probably a never-voter. There are people that exist who simply don’t care one way or the other who is in charge and you can’t convince those people to go vote. Sure you can try, but in the end it’s the people who did vote who get what they voted for.
Regardless of all of that I find the “you should have voted democrat” argument to be exceptionally stupid. The democrat party is backing a government that I find to be morally reprehensible, as do most Americans, what should have happened is those who were saying “yeah it’s bad but I’m still gonna vote dem” should have just voted for a third party. Why vote against your interests?
I’ve not defended any fascists in this thread
I agree that the United States is on its way to being fascist yes.
Yes coming clean about not being a fascist is very easy. Because I am not one.
Correct
I’m not a fascist

Fuck this article
That’s a weird way to interpret what I said. I care very much about what the current administration is doing. I care very much about my trans friends and the trans community. I’m very aware how things currently are.
My point is simply that it is illogical to blame people who voted third party. Because mathematically even if every single person who did vote third party voted for the democrat the Republican Party still would have won the election.
Democrats want to win? Run on a platform that is actually popular. Don’t support people like Hakeem Jeffries and Kamala Harris who talk down to their would be constituents. Don’t support people like John fetterman who is basically just a Republican posing as a democrat.
