Just because I don't disagree with her on literally every issue doesn't mean that her words worth my time either.
I'm sure JK Rowling and I agree on something, but I still want her to keep all of her opinions to herself, not just her problematic ones. Because she has a hard time telling the difference.
This is a post about her and her tweet. If you want to discuss the Air Force Bribe, I'm sure there are thousands of simultaneous discussions happening at various points on the internet. Perhaps even millions.
Sorry that this space isn't dedicated to that, though.
There's no release date. It might be real, in that someone might be working on it, but it isn't real in the sense that there is a finished film that someone can view right now.
But they have 3 upvotes and I'm at -2. Clearly everyone in this subreddit is wrong and I need to make them see that. (And then hate myself for it later on)
If it sounds ridiculous to be having someone accuse you of shit you didn't do
You literally do this all the time. A vote for third parties? Not a vote for Trump, you still blame them for the election of Trump. A non-vote? Not a vote for Trump. Same goes for people who didn't like Kamala and were openly critical of her, but still voted for her.
You're being a child. Either you think Trump's election is the result of the entire electorate or you don't. There's no "except for people who voted for Democrats and were properly enthusiastic about it" get out of jail free card.
Either we're all to blame or only the people who actually voted for him are to blame. You can't have it both ways.
Funny, you don't have a problem using blanket statements about who elected Trump when discussing people who don't like the Democrats (regardless of how those people actually voted ), but you get upset at blanket statements that put the blame on all Americans. Isn't that interesting?
You don't know how voted or what privileges I have and don't have. But knowing that I'm a nonbinary tran person who voted for Kamala won't change the fact that people don't vote for candidates out of duty. That's never been how people vote. So you can absolutely keep pretending that your position is noble and that it's your fellow citizens who failed you, but at the end of the day, Democrats were running on a message that he was the worst thing possible, but weren't willing to do everything possible to stop him. They had a responsibility to deliver policies that solved the problems people were encountering, to respond to their base when their base said "we don't want to fund genocide". Lying to people about the economy as those same people couldn't afford the same amount of groceries anymore definitely hurt them. Allowing Republicans to scapegoat trans people and Kamala not even saying the word trans throughout the campaign, allowing the other side to control the messaging surrounding the issue isn't likely to have earned them any votes.
But pointing these things out to Democratic cult members to yourself is tantamount to heresy because you've lost any iota of self reflection. You don't care that Democrats are Republican-light. In fact, you probably think that's a good thing.
Newsflash: the antidote to fascism is not liberalism. It is economic populalism. Democrats can't afford to keep backing capitalism if they ever want to win again. Democrats got us into this mess, they aren't the ones who were ever going to save us.
Why is it that warnings of what would happen weren't taken seriously enough by Democrats to try to earn people's votes? Voters warned them what would happen if they stuck to the same policies they had been running on. If the elites of the party are going to make all decisions for the rest of us, they can accept all the blame when they lose.
You're advocating for respectability politics. We have to be nice to the people who hate us to try to convince them to be nice to us. If that's the game you want to play, you can. But it certainly hasn't achieved victory for anyone yet. You know what has achieved change? Protesting. Being loud. Telling people when they're wrong. Not putting up with the bullshit.
You're advocating for assimilation, while what we want is liberation.
