    Translation: “I’m too privileged to care about who wins this election.”

      Oh, they’ve said repeatedly that they are “not afraid of Trump winning” and the statements about the dangers of another Trump are “fear-mongering” and “exaggerations.”

      Absolutely screams only the kind of privilege you see in middle class, white, cis, hetero males. Honestly sort of surprised they’re not spouting Ayn Rand bs, but definitely the same vibe.

        Nah, brah, they are a TrAnSrAcIaL mOrMoN sAtAnIsT who recently went from being a viking on their profile to a Skyrim-style cool ass black warrior. This is how you know they are completely real and not fake in any way. And don’t you forget it – this mother fucker is 100% WoKeFrEe!

        middle class, white, cis, hetero males.

        So are you saying those are bad things? Are you trying to judge or shame people for how they were born or their skin color?! Why did you bring race and sexuality into this?!

        Wow. Just wow. Pretty icky. I can’t take anything you say seriously now. You are showing your true colors.

          The are obviously saying it’s gross that you would let other people suffer since you apparently belong to a group of people that won’t suffer for your actions. But sure, go ahead and cram a bunch of words in someone’s mouth in an effort from distract from what you are doing.

          Ha! You are a precious snowflake my friend! I offered no condemnation or even opinion on any of those things. Strange that’s where your mind went to though.

          I just suggested that you evidenced the kind of privilege really only ever seen amongst a certain demographic. Are you saying people in that demographic aren’t privileged? Are you denying the systemic oppression to women and people of color? The enforced economic disadvantage on the poor and working class?!

          It’s almost laughable that you call yourself a socialist.

            I’m not even in the demographic that you tried to mock me with. Do you think all people in that demographic are privileged?!

            I’m not denying oppression of women or color. My mother is black. I don’t even know why you are bringing those things up.

            I’m starting to see your true colors. Ewww…

            Thanking you for something doesn’t mean you got it right. But you tried. So hey, as long as you are trying, friend.

            I’m still not voting for you candidate. :)

              That’s okay, no one with any brains is voting for yours. Since you switched from Stein, your candidate won’t even crack .05%. So while half the country may vote against my candidate, at least 99.95% aren’t voting for yours.

                  I mean, other than the fact that you’re obviously so privileged — as you’ve said so often — to not be afraid of Trump winning. And then so oblivious, callous, and dismissive of other people who are justifiably worried that you spend an inordinate amount of time trying to persuade folks that voting third party in the presidential race is a justifiable idea.

                  And unfortunately third party wankers do have both a chance at helping Trump win AND having no chance to win themselves. Or did you already forget the fine print in the Quinnipac poll you yourself posted this morning? So there is a great moral peril and a frivolous display, and actual adults should have no trouble telling one from the other.

                    What do you mean by privileged? I’m not in the demographic that you tried to portray as privileged.

                    You do realize that people of all colors vote for Trump, right? Do you think that ONLY white middle class people vote for Trump?! lol

                    worried that you spend an inordinate amount of time trying to persuade folks that voting third party in the presidential race is a justifiable idea.

                    I can spend as much time as I want to and do whatever want. Besides, you were just mocking how “pitiful” the numbers of third parties were. And now you are saying that you’re worried about how much time I spend on here talking about third parties?! hahahahah Which is it?

                    You seem really afraid of voters having choice. I’m not afraid of that at all. I’m proudly voting third party.

                    And I’ll keep posting what I want, where I want, when I want. No matter how much you don’t like it. Thank you! :)

          Doubt it. The campaign you’ve embarked here would not make much sense for you do engage in if you were going to do so.

            If you care so little about the performance of the 2 major parties of the US electoral system, why did you even bother to post the original article?

                Posting to Lemmy is always optional, if you find an article you’re apathetic about you don’t actually have to post or crosspost it. Try again.

        Yeah dude, we know you don’t care.

        Like the other person said… We all see through you. You’d be making better use of your time shilling somewhere else.

          shilling

          So is every poster that posts a news article here, “shilling”? Because if so there seem to be a lot of shillers for Harris.

          I support and respect your right to vote for who you want to. And you support and respect my right to vote for who I want to, right?
