One side aligns with my views 70% of the time. The other actively wants me and everyone like me to die. I refuse to acknowledge the differences between them. I’ll actually deploy this lack of understanding as a weapon to depress voter turnout and make sure the second group gets to wield power!

Do you not care about GENOCIDE???

Genocide Joe!

Making sure the party that continually starts new wars in the Middle East gets elected will surely help my cause!

“Yeah but you support GENOCIDE!”

You say 'Genocide Joe!' like he didn't actually support and enthusiastically aid a genocide.

It must be so nice having worldviews that can be fully encapsulated by trolley memes

i'm somewhat of a centrist so i think it's gotta be somewhere between these two:

So, actually that question though? Genocide used to be a really, really bad thing, and here you're making light of it. I feel like people have lost the plot a bit if they talk about an actual genocide like this. "Yeah, sure they committed a bit of genocide, but have you seen the other guy?" I feel like I'm losing my mind

False.

One side SAYS they align with their views, and then do the same shit as Republicans, and kind of just expect you to swallow excuses. Meanwhile we've watched Donald act unilaterally with near absolute power for two years, so we know objectively that the lack of power was (and is) never the problem. It was that they didn't actually support what they said they did.

You don't know his views, he could be really into fracking, small business owners, and war.

Still, this is very obviously the worse outcome. Democracy isn't make a wish. You grow up and vote for the least shitty option to prevent the even more shitty options like an adult. Or you can keep crying about not getting your will like a child in the toy isle.

no sane person agrees with democrats 70% of the time lmao, maybe like 25% at best

[–] grue@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

One side aligns with my views 70% of the time.

That's an optimistic percentage, and yet still not an excuse to avoid voting for them.

[–] Grapho@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If I know somebody who agrees with the Dems 70% of the time they're basically the white dudes from Get Out.

it is propaganda method by the right, like your vote doesnt matter. thats how we end up getting schumers and hakeems of the congress, when less people vote, more conservative candidates are elected, this includes the DINOs. maine is currently fighting with susan collins, mills and platner 2 of them are conservatives.

[–] Grapho@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 month ago

Let's grant your premise. I don't think if I had a friend who liked 70% of the same shit as me but I found out the other 30 they're assaulting kids, killing minorities, sending money I gave them to genocidaires, doing unspeakable atrocities to ALL of the people outside our shared neighborhood, and being buddy buddy with the other dudes who do that shit 100% of the time, I would just not want to hang out with that guy.

Maybe I'm built different tho.
