I think it’s a joke

50 percent of the US voted for Trump, I tgink wie already knew that.

That is your Opinion, and you’re entitled to that.

But all of those that decided not to vote could have stopped the rise of fascism and chose not to.

I don’t blame that on the opposition. I blame that on those accepting its rise and refusing to stop it.

yes. yes, it is. Those that didn’t vote failed to stop fascism from rising.

Even if you think that Democrats are too conservative, the alternative you chose and got is Trump.

Also the phrase goes “stop fascism at all costs” not “stop fascism at all costs except when the alternative has shifted a bit to the right (but in no way as far as the fascists we would be trying to stop) and now is too conservative for you”

I find this whole Israel-Palestine vote-boycott so stupid and irritating.

Did anyone ever think beyond virtue-signaling? What were they hoping, that Trump forgets he wants to stand behind Nettanyahu no matter what?

In order to “boycott” a “fascist President”, they let their own country elect another one. Great, now there are two of them.

Seriously, they want to “stop fascism at all costs”, but when they actually have the chance to stop a fascist from taking office, they refuse.

I have lost all hope for humanity, have a nice day.

So many times I saw people on Lemmy saying they weren’t going to vote because of [insert Reason X]

Everytime I told them they should, I was brushed off with some stupid Argument.

Well, I congratulate everyone who did that. You now live in a country headed by someone openly flirting with fascism. I really hope [Reason X] was worth it. And I really hope [Reason X] won’t get worse under Trump (it will). You failed to prevent a fascist from raising to power just so you could virtue-signal.

but then that makes it very likely that some republicans who actually voted democrat just pretended to have voted republican in order to maintain their standing in their community.

who said that you should never trust a statistic you faked yourself?

The Mink in the Post is just the Link to the static image…

You can have the old one if you want?

Reduce Reuse Recycle and all that. Save it from the Landfill.

Didn’t see the “one of the” there and was about to lose my faith in humanity.

Even more.

Disagree. A new Microwave is cheap and I’d feel 10 times better replacing whatever it was than just cleaning it. Even if it cost a bit more.

I’d actually disagree with you.

I don’t think the Comic is specifically about women.

I think this is about the overarching problem of whataboutism and its consequences on society and societal discourse.

In which case the OP would be on-topic and you would be the one derailing.

I am not saying that either of you is trying to derail but rather just showing that different interpretations (a more literal interpretation on your side and a more symbolic on ours) can lead to different discussions.

I think it’s not that bad if it would save you money over your current subscription.

Anyways, unrelated, but: Amazing wallpaper. I absolutely adore the pixelart style. Do you still have the Original?

Flooding wouldn’t be so bad without global car dependency.

because of climate change or…?

But do they?

No.

Given that you yourself are remembering him, you can’t wait until you die / have dementia?

It looks better imo

Also you will have to check whether k9 will still receive updates

No. You give 2 Months.
