    Assuming bad faith over everyone who disagrees with you is a first step to fanaticism and vulnerability to external opinion.

    Weaponizing tribe mentality to reach your goals is very bad long-term, and makes yourself susceptible to the same trap.

    Lemmy, unfortunately, is very prone to that. Remember that time people called here for Biden to step down and were downvoted into oblivion? Where were they when he actually stepped down and everyone started cheering for Harris all of a sudden?

    There are valid reasons to NOT vote for the Democratic party in these elections, even if you clearly don’t side with the Republicans.

      Noooo you aren’t allowed to say that!

      One of the mouth breathing imbeciles who will determine our future based on a confluence of distraction, idiocy, and geography might read it and think they too have a choice!

      Or worse yet enough people might get the idea that their vote is more than just something to throw away. If even 1% of the country grows that way each cycle corporate profits might be threatened at some point!

      Believe the people who sobbed their hideous wretched guts out that we had to support Biden! They’re never wrong On PuRpOsE!

      Haha this, libs are so cruel and violent that they can’t possible imagine someone taking a principled stance on genocide.

      These were the same libs decrying the “violence” of broken windows and looting during the George Floyd riots.

        This is what leftist lemmy actually is. Voices of reason being underscored by the very same bad faith assumptions from a “morally superior” position.

        All so you can feel better about the fact that people with your moral standing have zero power here while the rest of us actually try to keep this country from going tits up.

        Do you honestly think the people you label as libs want genocide?
