If you had to pick one, who would you say is more responsible for encouraging voter apathy: The Democratic party for openly becoming Bush-era Republicans and then doing a genocide, or lemmy dot ml for pointing it out?
Republicans literally want many of the closest people in my life to be dead for being trans. The only possible way they can win elections is if people don't vote, I don't care if democrats aren't doing themselves any favors, encouraging voter apathy is directly beneficial to Trump and his goons because their base always votes. Cope however you want though.
The dems cheered on the genocide of Palestinians in thr last 4 years alone. Is their life less important because they're not Americans?
Personally, I hope Trump keeps winning and imploding the US because your hellhole of a country has wrought nothing but death and destruction for those of us in the third world. I'm not going to cry tears of blood when the imperial boomerang finally comes home
