We have two options in our political system…
Not being able to criticize the better party because the other is even worse just results in a race to the bottom.
Something that’s been happening for decades and instead of slowing down is just happening more and more.
When the main reason to vote D is “they’re not Republicans” the Dem party continually acting more like Republicans every year ain’t going to help Dems get elected.
I’m literally complaining about “my side”…
And you’re telling me I can’t because Republicans are worse…
I don’t even know why I try with folks like that. These idiots are as thoughtless as Trump voters, but get their knickers in a twist when you point out they’re arguing for the electorate to “be quiet and not ask questions” as if that’s not what Trump asks of his voters.
They immediately jump to accusing you of being a plant, as if that’s not as conspiratorial bullshit as Trump voters take part in. They just know, right?? /s Give me a break, fucking whiney babies who can’t handle a different opinion.
I’ve blocked a shit ton of them…
The problem is once you do that, you start getting replies from accounts that have sat inactive for months and lots of your comments get multiple down votes immediately.
Because some apps make it very easy to switch between multiple accounts. And they really really really think people talking about this stuff is worse than the problem.
They want us to bury our heads in the sand and never criticize anyone with a D by their name.
Which is probably the worst thing we could do in a two party system.
I’m a masochist. I don’t block them.
Because their arguments are really easy to dismantle, even if they’re too fucking stupid to understand that.
They really don’t see how they act just as badly as Trump voters, do they? Is it “the ends justify the means” or are they just stupid or are they paid to act this stupid? It’s not like Correct the Record ever went away and it’s still totally legal to hire masses of people to post paid political speech online in the US, because nobody is making laws to make these people have to admit they’re being paid, kind of like advertisements have to. No, they flood the zone with this bullshit just as badly as the right-wing does and then cry big fat loser baby tears when it doesn’t work out.
Blocking doesn’t really work on Lemmy like it does on other platforms. You can mute people but it doesn’t limit them from interacting with you.
