we will have a long memory

Could there be a single more empty threat from a burger-munching American? The whole world will laugh at you for thousands of years until you recede into myths about a people so callous and stupid it beggars belief.

This violates rule one doesn't it? "Shaming people for voting"

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (7 children)

oh boy...

  1. they aren't shaming you for voting
  2. they aren't shaming you for supporting a fascist piece of shit
  3. if you feel any shame at all for voting in support of a fascist piece of shit, you should take a day or two to reflect on why you feel shame and ponder on why that shame would exist if you truly believe that a fascist dictatorship is the solution we need.

however they are saying that if people do openly support a fascist dictatorship, that they will remember them and treat them like the fascist pieces of shit they are.

as my old man used to say, "it's not a threat, it's a promise."

Neither decision will save medicare, social security, education or the middle class.

Harris will do what she can, same as Biden has, but neither has any effect on disinformation, bigotry, division or inequality beyond shaking their fingers in disapproval, if it even is disapproval and not just saving face for us.

Trump and his kind are a virus. I'm not saying there is no solution, but the current methods our society governs by aren't doing a solid job of dealing with it, to a point that they may even be making it worse by being too cowardly to put a foot down. They won't save America. They're as much a part of the corruption as the corruption. They'll only go as far as to protect themselves.

I don't make these predictions with any sort of supernatural foresight. It's what Biden and Obama did, it's what Harris will do, keep the seat warm until it's red again while the planet dies, respective kings and queens of the ashes.
