    I really wonder how all the protest voters feel about all of this. Not what they’d say they feel, because we’ve all seen their smug and entitled responses- no, what I want to know is; how they actually and honestly feel about all of this.

    Because even though I voted, I’ve seriously thought about it. I’ve tried to put myself in the shoes of someone who has EVERY reason to ask themselves if all of this was worth the entitlement-driven single-issue excuse to avoid doing the bare minimum it would have taken to hold on to the last shred of our democracy- to avoid having to have participated in what might have been America’s last election.

    Yeah. I’m fucking angry.

    And I’m not yet ready to forgive the assholes that helped make this happen. And part of the reason is that while I’ve seen post after post and meme after meme of even the conservatives questioning their reasoning in voting for that corrupt little felonious mouth-breathing gremlin, I haven’t see even ONE of these third party/non-voters so much as make a peep in the general vicinity of remorse.

    If they want to talk about rallying behind a cause- as we see them doing here so many times, they should first start by fessing up and own their shit, because in an adult world, anyone that can admit their mistakes proves they have the honesty, maturity, and humility it takes to deserve trust.

    Otherwise- I see no reason to trust them any further than I would a conservative.

      You need to ask the same question to your politicians, not voters. If its such a big issue why didnt the democratic party stand for anything? Winning was absolutely on the table, your establish dems didnt want to win either. Thats the problem.

      Your dems didnt “help” make this happen, they made it happen arm in arm with right wing extremists. You think just because they call themselves democrats they arent right wing or fascist? America is so far right wing and filled with propaganda the populace cant make sense of it and still think they have a proper opposition party - you dont.

      You wanted more people to vote? Just as many would have voted for Trump as well, wow good job.

        So. Your answer is to whine about my comment and offer nothing but ad hominem?

        You could have easily just kept scrolling, or even just blocked me…

        but wait!

        Was there something I’ve said or something I’m doing that bothered you enough to want to complain about it? Do you feel better for having vented your anger and frustrations into words?

        Imagine that!

        (Oh, and for the record- EVERYONE posts their personal “butthurt” feelings about shit in pretty much every single post on lemmy- even you, genius. Or are you forgetting that modlogs are public?)

            So you’re complaining about my pointing out the fact that someone is complaining about my complaint?

            I wonder… how many layers can this have?

              No I’m not complaining I’m Stating a fact. If you’re gonna be like this why don’t you just stay on Reddit?

                So my stating a fact is complaining, but your complaining is staring a fact?

                69
                96

                And as I remember, Reddit was full of people that complained a lot about people complaining….

                A LOT.

          Oh no! Someone who engages instead of downvoting! Imagine that! I must put more emotion into it without addressing anything the person said!! lol I’ve already seen where this is going which is why I figured I would save anyone else the trouble and reply to your constant whining before someone else got sucked in. Thank you for making it clear why you’re doing all this though, you have no other way to express yourself or move on. Good luck with all that, if I run into you in the future I’ll make sure to stick with one reply and watch ya fizzle out. Maybe this all might help you in the long run.

            Wait… you want an award because through all your nonsense blathering and personal attacks that weren’t even relevant to any point- you didn’t downvote me?

            Well why didn’t you say so, my guy?

            ⭐️

            There ya go!

            (In fairness, I did’’t notice the .ml, otherwise I’d have given you your little gold star right out of the gate to avoid this disaster of a discussion)

              lol defaulting to an instance attack, you’re such a parody.

              Anyone can see from our last conversation that even when replying in good faith you just refuse to engage, there is no point in trying to bring any sort of real conversation with you.

              Anyone can also see from your modlog, you’ve been crying about voters for months and are still continuing to do so.

              idk wtf the award pivot was trying to do or what you’re even trying to say lol. Again, I’m glad I could engage with you so someone else doesn’t have to and possibly thinking you might actually be a real person to have a conversation with. The only reason I’ve gone this far is so people can actually see the links and how you respond. Blocking doesn’t help if it just means someone else has to put up with you instead.

                And I stand by my every argument against cutting these clowns slack because they have finally decided that now is the time to stand up against Trump.

                They should lie in the bed they fucking made right alongside the rest of us. They don’t get to just blend in with everyone that actually tried to stop this. They need to own it and apologize. And they need to be reminded EVERY FUCKING TIME THIS ADMINISTRATION DOES SHIT LIKE THIS THAT IT IS PARTIALLY THEIR FAULT.

                Because if we EVER have another election and we EVER find ourselves here again, they need to know what damage that comes from smug entitlement.

                And lastly- I don’t really give a shit that you are upset by this anymore than I’d expect you to give a shit that I’m pissed off about a bunch of childish entitled kids that haven’t a clue about how anything works enough to get off their asses and vote.

                Don’t like it? Block me.

                But all you’re doing is complaining about complaining. So…. Maybe have a seat in this boat of mine.

                EDIT: oh shit, I forgot-

                  lol you must really not talk to anyone outside of the internet if you think anything you said sounds remotely sane or like you aren’t an entitled child trying to sound smug.

                  They need to be removed

                  whatcha mean by that bud? I think you’re getting confused with all your edits.

                    Let me start of by giving you your little star so I don’t have to edit…

                    ⭐️

                    There we go.

                    Anyway, aside from ad hominem and critiques of my grammar and errors, do you have anything else to say?

                    Because I’ve made my point. I can be done with this if you can.
