    “I’m voting for my values, and I’m not scared of Trump. I won’t vote out of fear.” This is the epitome of privilege, and why people dislike you. I think that warrants more introspection.

    [Pause for introspection]

    Do other people have things to fear about his idealogy? How precisely do you suggest that they deal with that risk? If you don’t fear him and what he’ll do to you, and you don’t care what he’ll do to other people who don’t deserve it enough to lift a finger, or put your purity politics aside, then you are selfish and idiologically unfit for the 2 party system that we currently live in. A based person with your ideals would vote for what’s better based on the system we have rather than the system they want, and then lobby, call, donate, and canvas for system that they want.

    So we arrive at two options, either you are a sociopath who doesn’t understand why letting bad things happen to other people is bad, or you’re incredibly uninformed about the ramnifications of your actions whether purposefully or unintentionally… or you’re an AI bot wasting everyone’s time being fed prompts by some shithead Jimmy Dore type. It doesn’t really matter because the explanation has been given to you dozens of times and you some how read enough to respond to it all and then completely miss the point about other people being important, not just yourself. Anti-social bellyaching isn’t going to get you any praise online in largely progressive circles.

      Because I don’t live my life in fear?!

      either you are a sociopath

      You realize almost half of the country is voting for him, right? Are they ALL sociopaths?!

      Anti-social bellyaching isn’t going to get you any praise online in largely progressive circles.

      I’m not anti-social, I actually have a very full life. And I’m not looking for praise online. Dude, i posted a news article. I didn’t write it. So do you think this community should censor/remove articles that are about third parties?! If so, message the mods.

        “Living in fear” is very different from the reality of what you argue for, which is “being apathetic to those who will suffer from the consequences of my actions”

        You quoted me saying either and then didn’t include the other possibility lol… Yes, Trump voters all fit into one of those two categories, making you not much different.

        Never said you didn’t live a full life, wanted praise, that you wrote the article, or that the community should censor you. Being selfish is antisocial, and you spend your whole time in here complaining that you get downvoted, dismissed wholehearted, ridiculed, interspersed with missing everyone’s points about why something is empathetic to do, and why what you spread isn’t. I don’t think you do any of that for praise, I think you either don’t have fully functional empathy or you’re too into weeds to find your way out through logic. I don’t believe you can logic anyone out of a belief if they didn’t logic their way into it and so the way they lurch back to their original nonsense is always more telling than the nonsense itself.

          I said I am not afraid of Trump. I stand by what I said.

          Yes, Trump voters all fit into one of those two categories, making you not much different.

          If you feel half the entire country are sociopaths, well…good luck.

          you spend your whole time in here complaining

          Nope. My post history: https://lemmy.world/u/UniversalMonk?page=1&sort=New&view=Posts

          I think you either don’t have fully functional empathy or you’re too into weeds to find your way out through logic.

          Or maybe, just maybe, I don’t agree with you. Could just be that simple.

          I support and respect your right to vote for who you wish, please respect mine. Thank you!

            You’re pathetically apathetic, not fearful, congrats.

            That’s not what I said. You ironically refuse the existence of the other category, lol. Freudian inspiration for that?

            Your post history shows exactly what I said.

            That was obvious from the get-go, but now that you’ve demonstrated evidence for why you act the way you do, it’s no longer interesting.

              That’s exactly what the duopoly wants you to think. They want you to be afraid of the “other side.” You’re free to feel that way. I don’t.

              Your post history shows exactly what I said.

              That I post mostly socialist articles to the socialist communities? I don’t remember you saying that, but if you did, then yay!

              That was obvious from the get-go, but now that you’ve demonstrated evidence for why you act the way you do, it’s no longer interesting.

              K, and if you are really annoyed by me, feel free to block me too. Thank you!
