Well, we have the fucking camps opening. Luckily, plenty of terminally online leftists are ready to tell us how noble and moral not voting was! (lemmy.world)

Dude complaining about it isn't helping. You aren't entitled to anyone else's vote. They can vote how they want. I don't like it either but that's how democracy works.

Focus your energy on something you can control

    You aren’t entitled to anyone else’s vote.

    I never said I was. Like Trump voters, however, using one's power to vote to enable literal fucking Nazis is worthy of fucking criticism.

    All this is informing them how utterly and horribly ineffective protest-non-voting and 3rd party voting is.

    Ok but it's too late he is already the president. Thanks for telling them I guess but I'm sick of hearing it. It's not helping I'll downvote this shit all day

    .... And the next election, protest-non-voting and 3rd party could will be just as ineffective.

    This has been going on for decades. This isn't just about 2024. It's also 2000 and Gore. 2016 and Hilary. Hell you could even include 2010, 2012, 2014 under Obama where he lost Congress. And 2018 when Biden lost Congress. And 1994, 1996, 1998 when Clinton lost Congress. Etc.

    So no it's not too late because it seems we have to educate protest non voters and 3rd party voters pretty close to every single election.

    There have also been people saying the same thing you are for decades and yet here we are. But surely your post will be the one that convinces everyone.

    My problem really isn't the message you are trying to get across it's more so the arrogance that you are using to say it. It sounds pompous and condescending. Like you know better than those people. You're just some douche on the Internet like the rest of us lol.

    Why would someone listen to anything you say if you insult their intelligence while saying it?

    The education continues.

    Lmao accusing me of arrogance. You are dripping with it Mr. "But surely your post will be the one that convinces everyone." Lol you are everything you accuse other people of being. AND (just gonna fill this part in) look at what it's gotten everyone. That's literally the whole point.
