No, you are a propagandist, trying to spread apathy amongst voters who could make a difference. You aren’t trying to get fewer people to vote for the Republican fascists, your goal is to spread apathy between the people who might vote against them.
No, you’re just mad that I’m correct. You can’t appease people, and people will complain no matter what you do. Therefore, the obvious conclusion is that you shouldn’t vote to appease others, but you should vote in what you believe is right regardless of what others think.
As a US citizen, yes my country sucks. It has sucked before and it’s sucking just about as hard as it has since the trail of tears. I am embarrassed by my nation’s leaders abetting genocide, defunding aid programs, putting people who live here in prison for the crime of existing, refusing to tax the rich or corporations, etc etc.
But there are a shit ton of us that aren’t like that. We have a totally fucked election system, a flawed and vague constitution, and fascists in every branch of government.
It’s really not all of us, I swear, and not by a long shot.
My point is very obvious and straightforward. You cannot appease everybody no matter what you do, and that includes voting, and therefore you should do what you believe is right regardless of what others think, whether that’s voting for something or not voting at all… but I suppose this is just a part of some grand propaganda conspiracy to help boost the Republican party by sowing discourse on Lemmy. Do you even hear yourself?
That’s stupid, of course it isn’t. But the whole point of posts like this one is try to shame people for voting or not voting. These are the types of people who expect appeasement. MAGA isn’t the only thing our political landscape that wants appeasement. Either way, this type of thing never works. People like OP will never be pleased no matter what. People don’t vote to appease others nor should they. Everybody wants to minimize harm, but what that means is something that’s entirely subjective.
You forgot someone on your list. You. How would you describe yourself, I wonder? I know how I would.
Let me guess, am I nazi too?

I see my point is being proven already
Your point is amplifying troll messaging and rolling over to defeatism. It’s about as weak as discourse gets.

Your “proof” is that there isn’t a position that will win approval with everyone?

It’s literally what you are doing, and the best you can counter with is with pre-school sandbox logic?

Because the only imaginable positive outcome is appeasing everyone of course.
How about trying to minimize harm to as many people as possible?
