      That’s because a one dimensional metric is not enough to distinguish real distinct valid political beliefs. The actual division you have is really more like shaped by the money trail, the ignorant and fascists pandered to just to subvert the system and those who at the very least have to go the extra steps to play nice with the system because their votes are neither ignorant nor fascists, and there’s plenty of oligarchs playing both sides.

      Recently, brain drain from technology and far more effective propaganda campaigns that more effectively promote disenfranchisement from the educated have made one of these far more effective than the other.

      Most people are completely uninformed and just think Republicans = better economy. In the last election the people who sat out or voted 3rd party caused all of this with Trump, because apparently ruin all research including children’s cancer research, gutting USAID, removing environmental protections and ruining the world while getting into 4 wars, while supporting Israel, is not worth voting for someone who supports Israel. Anyone who didn’t vote in 2024 is in great part responsible for all the deaths in ukraine as well.

      Too late!

          Oh good thing we have Trump now.

          Looks at reality you created

          Still genocide, but now it’s a regional war with Iran and people are talking about ethnically cleansing Gaza so Trump can build the “Riviera of the Middle East.” Good going. You really stopped that genocide by electing people who hate Muslims.

          What would it take for you to admit your decision was stupid? If Trump drops a nuke oh Tehran, would that do it?

            You are literally the only new account I’ve seen recently that isn’t actively trying to discourage people from voting. Good on you. For real it’s like Lemmy is allergic to the concept that they should fuckin vote and if they don’t vote, they’re still responsible for who wins by not voting. Fuck. Sorry, the discourse here is fucking infuriating and I’m drunk, and you’re a breath of fresh air.
