Pretty much, yeah.

If understanding how things work is what makes a person superior, you probably don’t want to be shitting on it, but maybe trying to get there yourself.

But I don’t feel as if I’m in any way superior because I get how the real world works. I do however, feel superior because I don’t accuse people of shit they aren’t doing, like say…. sUpPoRtiNG gEnoCiDe!

What I see here a lot though, is what seems to be a bunch of smug and arrogant people sitting on high, casting aspersions at others because they support someone that is doing their best to ensure we keep our democracy.

What I see, are people willing to throw away votes over single-issue protests that most of them have shown not to even understand.

I’m not going to apologize to you for paying attention. That’s not a fault. It’s an obligation.

Socialists that give a shit about what the UN thinks? Hmmm…. I guess you’ll use anything that helps you make whatever point you think you have.

Either way… I knew I was wasting my time. Never again. There’s no getting through to you people.

Waste your vote. You’re free to do so.

For now.

And that’s what people who vote for Harris are doing. Because they understand how things work. You’re free to throw away your vote in protest of things that have been going on since before you ever could point to Palestine on a map…

but the rest of us are going to try our best to ensure you continue to have the rights to be able to do that. Do be sure to accuse me of supporting genocide on the way out. It does wonders to garner support for your ideology.

New flash- almost everyone objects to genocide. You don’t belong do some grassroots movement of high-minded academics that somehow managed to figure out that genocide is bad.

I’m not going to help you find your right to call people names. Adults don’t behave that way.

And there’s the nuance you appear to lack an understanding of. I’m only going to do this once:

This take of yours is just bad math. You think there’s a cause and effect here, but it seems that you lack the understanding of how nuanced the situation actually is.

For starters, I’m going to guess that you have no idea about the history between Israel and Palestine prior to October of last year. So you don’t know that the attacks issued from both sides of this conflict is something that’s gone on for decades. (Which makes their history a very nuanced situation)

You might also not know how trade agreements work. So this would mean that for you- breaking one is should be simple and easy, and free of any repercussions!

It’s not. (It’s VERY nuanced)

Lastly, a vote for a person that adheres to a policy that you don’t agree with, isn’t by default, a showing of support of that thing. (Again, nuance) For example:

• I don’t support child labor, yet I have a mobile device. (See? Nuance)

• I don’t support global warming, yet I drive a car. (There’s that nuance again)

• I don’t support violence against women, yet I have watched a few movies produced by Weinstein. (Getting the picture?)

THIS is what nuance is. It illustrates the ignorance of black and white thinking. Right and wrong thinking. Rigidity vs. moral flexibility.

You want to paint in such broad strokes that everthing is either with you- or against you without seeming having learned how any of it actually works.

I’m not going to argue with you because no matter what I say, as evident above- you are going to rewrite my words, and argue against that.

In other words, I don’t debate straw men.

Oh absolutely! He’s a perfect example of what a person becomes when they have never had to deal with the consequences of their actions.

“Shill, should you receive money for Russia and use trumps lawyers to help you divide an election? Oh you should?”

“See everyone! You probably should want to vote democrat by now.”

FTFY.

Exactly. And what is super annoying about this, is that to most people, it’s painfully obvious what they’re up to.

MAGA exists to round up all the full-blown idiots and the Green Party exists to round up all the would-be idiots still on the fence. It’s so incredibly obvious!

And yet there are so many people that think people like Shill Stein have their best interests in mind.

I’m not going to argue this with you. I know what you’re about and I’m not falling for it.

Just lean what nuance means. And try and do better in the future.

Good.

Been saying this every time the subject it brought up. The Green Party is nowhere to be found three years of every four, and even in the election year- they seem to offer a lot of shit with no clear path to actually make it happen.

I think we’re finding out that they’ve always been a spoiler party. They were never meant to actually get elected. Just divide and distract.

And the did this VERY effectively. Just look at lemmy if you want a microcosm of how that shit works.

Really? It’s not obvious? Op is blatantly and flat out accusing an entire social media platform of supporting genocide.

No One is supporting it because they are voting for Harris. That’s misinformation. It’s blatant propaganda. And it’s evidence of a bad-faith attempt to influence an election.

Ahhhh…. Gotcha. Had to make sure you were aware of what you were saying before I assumed you actually meant to say it.

Thanks for the laugh. I needed that today!

That makes sense. Seems I am too though. Doesn’t change the fact that I’ve no idea why they’re so upset about it.

Oh I can’t either. Totally with ya there.

Yeah. I get that. It makes sense, but I just don’t see it as some thing that really bothers me that much. I spent decades watching TV ads though, so, maybe I’m just more patient?
