[+] mlg@lemmy.world -48 points 2 years ago (3 children) Yeah I'm so excited to vote for genocide joe over the criminally insane orange. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 24 points 2 years ago I'm excited to actually be able to vote in 2028. That's what I'm voting for. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Bronzie@sh.itjust.works 18 points 2 years ago (3 children) These names you keep giving politicians... Why? Is it hatred against career politicians? A way for people to remember bad things they've done? Is it mostly tongue in cheek? Legitimately curious permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] EatATaco@lemm.ee 19 points 2 years ago (1 child) Because they aren't very bright and they need it to be simple. They've found a mindless mantra they can recite and, by golly, they're going to keep saying it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] mlg@lemmy.world -6 points 2 years ago (2 children) why is everyone mad that I hate both candidates lol. I said it pretty clearly, I'm not happy that I have to vote for an incumbent who I didn't want just because the alternative is objectively worse. Also because I like calling people funny names. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] ReallyActuallyFrankenstein@lemmynsfw.com 14 points 2 years ago* Look, I get it, you're unhappy. But maybe take a moment to consider that if your post and Russian propaganda are indistinguishable, something has probably gone wrong. I'm not calling you Russian propaganda. I'm just saying you're probably getting downvotes not because you have a "disallowed" opinion. It's because you're not showing an awareness for how insanely disproportionate and unhelpful it is to shift a conversation from "let's not elect a fascist leader" to "Joe Biden sucks." And the reason why is because the only effect that comment can have is to (1) divert negative attention from Trump and (2) depress enthusiasm for Biden voters who read it. permalink fedilink source parent [–] EatATaco@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) why is everyone mad that I hate both candidates I assure you, no one is mad that you hate both sides. They're "mad" because you oversimplified a ridiculously complicated situation with huge global ramifications, in an attempt to equate both sides because you think holding that position makes you smart and independent..when in reality it is neither smart nor independent. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] mlg@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago I didn't equate both sides though, I said I hate Biden and Trump is objectively worse. That doesn't mean I'm not going to vote for him or not vote at all. My whole point is that I am not looking forward to voting for him knowing that he is much much better than Trump, but that he will not change his policies, which I disapprove of. permalink fedilink source parent [–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago Because the average voter is as mature as the average politician, I guess. 'Of the people' and all that jazz. permalink fedilink source parent [+] mlg@lemmy.world -14 points 2 years ago (1 child) All of the above lol. Genocide Joe because of his obvious involvement in Gaza and because of his copy paste foreign policy from the Obama administration Criminally insane orange because he has been criminally charged multiple times, acts insane, and is also orange lol. It's just too easy to make fun of them because the two party system heavily restricts your ability to vote for a candidate that you actually want or need. So every election period always starts off with a candidate who I almost always didn't want or vote for, and immediately expect nothing from which is usually what happens. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Moira_Mayhem@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago (2 children) There's only one group of people that use that name, stop pretending to be moderate. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [+] rayashino@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago (1 child) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Moira_Mayhem@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago Then go to moscow I'm sure they'll make a place for you at the troll farms. permalink fedilink source parent [–] mlg@lemmy.world -5 points 2 years ago uh what? permalink fedilink source parent [–] Moira_Mayhem@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) Wow I came here to get away from shitstains like you... permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Marin_Rider@aussie.zone 1 point 2 years ago unfortunatly idiots like that are all over this place and completely remove the ability to have an actual rational discussion without them wedging that one topic into every fucking conversation permalink fedilink source parent
