Saying this is a no-brainer is essentially in and of itself, a no-brainer. But yet, here we are, frustratingly attempting to educate leftists and undecided people on the dangers of “protest voting” and how cataclysmically dangerous it is to assume that you know better without ever seeming to possess the ability to simply just prove it.

We have the receipts. We know damn well what is going to happen if Trump is allowed to win.

And if you think you’re teaching someone a lesson with your withheld vote- I’ve got news for you-

A LOT of people are going to be hurt. And the ones you’d want it to be- won’t be among them. I promise you this.

If both sides are the same, then drag thinks the "both sides" must be the Democrats and the Leninists. Because those are the two groups who say they're leftists but do little to help others. Drag agrees with the non voting leninists on a factual basis, and also thinks they're complete fools on a practical basis.

Maybe they're talking about themselves in 3rd person (dragonfucker)? 🙃

Haha, I was actually joking, I didn't think it's really true. This is hilarious!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Yeah… it’s true.

Drag's Lemmy displayname is Dragon "Rider"

I have no idea who you’re talking about.

Oh! I get it. Yeah.. Sorry but as a rule, I don’t generally discuss things with people that refer to themselves in 3rd person.

Drag is referring to dragself with drag's first person neopronouns, drag/dragself.

Yeah. No. That’s fine for you. Do your thing. But I’m already going to have to get over the ridiculous point you tried to make about democrats being similar to lennonists. I’m not going to also try and navigate through a discussion with someone that thinks they’re a dragon.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago

Drag is sorry your subjective world doesn't have any dragons in it. Drag wishes you a more interesting life.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Try saying "I'm not going to navigate a discussion with a dragon" from between my jaws, human.

Oh for the love of god.

Blocked.

Drag thinks you made that dragon angry.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

No. You've just replaced all personal pronouns with one word.

It doesn't work and it's ridiculously you don't see it. PROnouns are things which are used instead of names. Names are unique. If everyone makes up their "own pronouns" (which you haven't, you're just using one or at most two words), then they aren't pronouns, theyre nouns, aka names.

That's why people are confused. Because you're not using pronouns, youre using your own name to refer to yourself.

Drag isn't drag's name. Drag doesn't want to talk about pronouns with you, go bother someone else.

Couldn't tell democrats to try and please their demographics instead of republicans. No, the left vote is "owed" to democrats no matter how much they turn their back on those voters. And then y'all wonder why people are disillusioned with politics.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Well, when your entire political view is based on unsubstantiated rhetoric, I’d imagine it’s probably pretty easy to arrive at such a conclusion.

No vote is owed, my friend. That’s just something you all seem to like to tell yourself so that your smug arrogance has a semblance of purpose.

And trust me when I say this:

No one is wondering why you’re disillusioned with politics… disillusion- of course, being the keyword here.

Enjoy watching from the docks while rest of us pull this ship into port without your help.

"little rabbit you should vote for the bear rather than the wolf, he's a much nicer predator"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

“Little rabbit, you should do whatever your ignorance urges you to do, but before you do, know that the bears are omnivores, and the wolves hate women and gays.”

I'm quoting a proverb, but you're obviously more interested in scoring points than having a discussion. Have fun.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Well to be honest, I don’t generally appreciate people tying to smugly score points by using proverbs that inaccurately illustrate the situation being discussed. bOtH sIdeS right?

And trust me, I have a lot of fun.
