So a Nazi salute has to be totally historically accurate for you to see it for what it is, but you can “give your heart” to an audience with a hand raised and downturned and you have no issue with that explanation? If you give, your hand is generally upturned. That is the gesture. Golly gosh I wonder why he did it that way instead 🤔🤔🤔 total mystery.

So accurate 🤣 also my first thought

Interesting link! Weird takeaway though. For one, it’s 67% consistently voting or not, 2/3 vs 4/5 is a big difference. Second, look at 2020. People who didn’t usually vote were most likely to vote then and they swayed dem. Probably because Trump was bad enough to make them more passionate about voting.

This shows that about a third of voters are intermittent and therefore available if people get them excited enough. I’m not saying it’s a good thing (it’s not), I’m just saying it’s a thing. Acting like they’re not important is turning your back on the people who could ultimately sway elections.

And that’s before we think about how many of the consistent non voters are apathetic vs how many just don’t have anyone they feel represents them.

The people who didn’t participate are roughly those who never do.

2020:

Biden - 81.2 million

Trump - 74.2 million

2024:

Harris: 75 million

Trump: 77.3 million

Even if we assume Trump took all 3 million extra votes from Biden’s 2020 voters, there are still 3 million Biden 2020 voters who didn’t turn out for Harris. They cared enough to vote against Trump the 2nd time, just not this time.

Anyway, you are right in the sense that those few million likely wouldn’t have tipped the election anyway. You are dead wrong that they don’t matter. Completely counterproductive lesson to take from the election

How many million people didn’t vote? And how many million would Harris have needed?

Not voting is a choice and clearly it can be an important one. Their voices exist you just don’t seem to want to listen to what they’re saying.

Soos would definitely want the mystery burrito

Ironically for the old racist man we now have less white Europeans immigrants as before and more from Africa and India regions, at least in the area I live. I love it how it’s backfired on him.

Yes! I really tried to explain this to people. One guy I saw on the news said he was voting Brexit to “get the Muslims out,” apparently completely unaware of how batshit insane it is to leave the European Union to reduce the number of non European people in Britain.

My future, my son’s future, all now shaped in a more restrictive way because of people’s views like this.

Yeah it fucking sucks. I left before the official Brexit date, in a year or two I will hopefully have an EU citizenship again. Most of my friends couldn’t have really done that so easily

Yeah and the same if someone is chasing/suspecting you. They would never be able to prove anything if you don’t make a mistake or draw attention to yourself. Also helpful that L is fictional

Putin

Trump

All heart attacks, all at the same time. Play like Light except with world leaders. Undoubtedly I’m missing many, but I could add as needed. Minimal text size to leave space.

No public statements so I’m harder to trace. Then I save the page. If a world leader pulls some horrendous shit, down they go.

It would be flawed for the same reasons Light is, and it would be biased to my viewpoints, but I don’t care. I cannot imagine the world would be a worse place with those people dead. And eventually people would spot the pattern and then leaders might think twice.

Although for the planet overall maybe it’d be better to use it for eco-terrorism

More than 52% of British people in 2016 and still more than many now, I bet. I always supported Remain but before I voted I wanted to do my due diligence and re-evaluate. It took googling “brexit pros and cons” and all of 5 minutes reading a BBC infographic to confirm that basically everything the leave campaign said was completely and utterly wrong.

The fact that most people still voted for it despite the obvious lies was way more disappointing to me than the racism. Back then I thought better of people.

Nice! Clearly I blocked it out because of the trauma of the ending

They did a minor retcon later. The scene is shown again and as well as the original shadow (And nibbler’s eye in the bin), you see Fry’s shadow too, since he time travels back there in the Why of Fry. Unfortunately I can’t remember which episode this is in at the minute

And you’re punishing the Palestinians for it, for some reason.

Trump is an embarrassment worldwide. And the DNC lost to him twice. If that can’t get you to criticise them I don’t know what will.

Blame the voters to some extent, sure. People are stupid. But it’s the party’s job to win the votes. If that wasn’t true why campaign at all?

So you have decided that the people suffering a genocide don’t get your help because of how people who “advocated for it” behaved? Literally punishing people who did nothing wrong. You are not obligated to, of course, but as a moral stance it fucking sucks.

The people who advocated for it that I saw (including myself) tended to say “this terrible policy will lose Harris votes, she should change it.” And they were right. The people who fucked you over were the ones who told you it would all be fine because Trump is worse and apparently because they thought the American electorate were super logical?

Blame the people who’s fault it actually is. The people who misjudged how the policy would affect turnout. And the people who actually support Trump, of whom there are way too fucking many.

Furthermore, even if I wasn’t this bitter, it wouldn’t matter because there’s literally nothing I can do now.

There wasn’t much you could do anyway, unfortunately. But it’s the same now. You can advocate. Vocally support BDS. Biden didn’t care anyway and Harris said she would continue to support Israel.

Obviously I agree that you should prioritise, but it seems a little silly to turn your back on something I’m sure you agree with just because the DNC fucked you by ignoring voters and losing the election to Trump.

Imo if you’re resisting Trump you’re all on the same side.

You said you no longer have solidarity. What did I misinterpret?

My country’s politics are shitty so now I don’t care about an ongoing genocide? What the fuck did I just read

You can care about two things. More even. Cutting your solidarity with Palestine over this is pathetic, I find it hard to believe you had any in the first place if this is enough to break it.

And let’s not forget that “people who generally agree with me except don’t like supporting genocide” are much less of an issue than “people who think my trans friends are mentally ill cis people, hate all immigrants and actively encourage the genocide.” Tens of millions voted for Trump. They are the problem.

It says they welcome anything from social democracy to anarchism so how you got “tankie community” is a mystery to me. Yet another chapter in “everyone I don’t like on Lemmy is a tankie.”

I have been subscribed for a while and haven’t seen any support of Stalin or Mao or whoever. I think these people are monsters and yet I’m still here.
