      Yeah, the way it’s phrased it definitely seems like they want to make things worse by blaming voters for behaving like voters instead of focusing criticism on the elected officials who refuse to really attack the Republican party and its policies and end up demoralizing everyone

        I can’t, but you could take this opportunity to stop posting quitter comments online. Just go away if you can’t help

        And if “WE’RE FUCKED NO MATTER WHAT WE DO” is all you have to say, you have nothing to say

          He literally posted a solution. Nothing about what he said was quitting, he was telling people what doesn’t work. You know what also doesn’t work? Negative comments on Lemmy. Relatively no one is reading this, and you are are just being aggressive. Relax.

              Actually convincing people to fucking vote is the only peaceful solution.

              There. Right there. In the comment. Right there in the comment where he said, “Actually convincing people to fucking vote is the only peaceful solution.” That’s the part.

                You must be confused, or replying to the wrong comment. Either that, or someone’s playing the edit game

                Either way, hope your day gets better

                At no point did anyone in a thread I replied to say we need to vote, I think you’re too upset about this now

                  You’re talking to 2 different people. Instigating people in bad faith and then trying to call them out about being emotional in their frustrated response is pretty childish, isn’t it? You claim that giving up and making negative comments online is detrimental to the cause, but trolling allies probably doesn’t help either.

                    You’re 100% right, it’s just so sad to see all these top comments “we’re doooooomed”

                    I feel the need to push back on that

            This sort of commenter frustrates me. I understand that they don’t want to see negativity in the comment section, but they never offer any sort of positivity, just reprimand.

              You’re assuming these commenters are acting in good faith. They typically aren’t.

            I’m saying there’s no value in adding doomer loser noise to the signal.

            Adding a positive is positive, reducing a negative is also a positive. I’m reducing a negative by asking these helpless bleating losers to be less unhelpful and vocal.

            I’m happy and open to having a positive and constructive conversation, but they don’t start with rude challenges

              Still not providing an actual plan.

              When you get one, post it.

              And I consider phrases like ‘doomer loser’ pretty rude.

              Lol, telling someone who is claiming the solution is to convince people to vote a loser is positive?

              I mean that’s just the truth… You can’t make changes to the organization of the executive branch without securing the support of both the executive and Congress.

              Maybe instead of loosing your shit about people being looser doomers, you might just want to read a book about civics.

                  You’re commenting on an edit

                  Do you not stand by your edit, what’s the problem here?

                  I can excuse your tone

                  You just can’t muster a rebuttal?

                  late to the party

                  Lol, now that’s some weak loser shit. Why even respond if you don’t have anything to say that actually defends your claims?
