on the other hand, ur an attorney who prob thinks their local starbucks running out of vanilla flavoring for their iced mocha is the height of oppression so idk

like idk its actually kind of understandable imo to disengage from the electoral process if no option gives a shit about u & ur friends & family or anyone u care about & the ppl that make that the problem - the ones w power who say they dont give a shit about the above - continue to say 'fuck u nop'

all ur showing is ur privileged enough to never be personally affected by anything. so i will ask, in very specific language

if someone u cared about was killed, incarcerated, deported, or murdered as a result of the dem party policy, would u, individually, feel compelled to vote for them?

arnie @arnie.bsky.social · 16h

i literally said when u say 'nah fuck i' to enough of ur would be voters they will simply stay home idk how u don't get that? like idk it's not hard maybe say 'oh we care about u & will do good things' instead??

honestly this was all a response to 'is this an academic exercise for u' & idk if there is a better example of that being the case than a lawyer saying they can do some pro bono work (which is great btw pls keep doing that it's important & u are good for it & should forever) to prove it is??

arnie @arnie.bsky.social · 16h

hi did biden ensure due process & should deportations be a thing anyway yes/no?

(it's no for both)

arnie @arnie.bsky.social · 16h

in reality when it gets to that what happens is ppl say 'nope'. u may not get this being presumably a fairly well off attorney but it's what actually happens

arnie @arnie.bsky.social · 16h

if u would like to explain why u think, for example, someone who had seen their friends or family deported under the biden admin would be enticed to vote for stronger border controls under the dems but not donald trump or just not turn up ur welcome to do try

1

arnie @arnie.bsky.social · 16h

no. this is what i said

[] continuing to vote solely for harm reduction is eventually u alienate enough of ur constituents & their friends that they will simply stop turning out to vote for u

ur issue is in reality that now ur closer to be harmed & no longer view it as a fucking academic exercise

the day u bother to care about the actions of a democrat admin rather than vote scolding non participants who have been long since abandoned will be the day i think u give anything more than a passing fuck about the communities u say u vote to protect

a friend of mine got deported under the biden admin & i was once an illegal immigrant & my own govt wants to make it harder for ppl like my parents to settle where i do live but tell me again how the actions of governments when it comes to immigrants is an academic exercise for me

To shut down rude behavior instantly, try a simple yet powerful five-word response.

Use this 5-word phrase when someone is rude to you—it's like 'holding up a mirror,' says public speaking expert

When we encounter a rude person, our first instinct might be to fire back with a snarky comment. But that's not the right move, says public speaking expert John Bowe. Here's the perfect response to instantly shut down rude behavior.

incredible as it is to believe, when u show contempt for & piss off a large part of ur would be constituency to the point they realise u do not care about them & wont protect them but instead cater to the other guys, what actually happens is they simply wont show up on election day

like ur entire position is bullshit. ppl didnt not vote for the democrats to punish them. they didnt vote for them because they didnt agree w their platform of abandoning vulnerable & marginalised ppl, being pro-genocide, & courting republicans u silly goose

Hear ye hear ye a message of hope and inspiration from our courageous leader in exile, Link. May all his loyal followers take heart!

I appreciate all the people showing love and support to me. I’m so grateful honestly. It means a lot. The ban isn’t that big of a deal for me. I think it was wrong and the explanation was bullshit. But that’s ok and I accept. Social media comes and goes. I’m grateful for all the connections I was able to make and all the people I get to be connected with off Bluesky. More importantly, the world needs more people to give a fuck. More people to give a fuck about Palestinians, more people to give a fuck about disabled folks, more people to give a fuck about our queer and trans siblings, more people to give a fuck about Black liberation. The world, and Bluesky, is full of bootlickers who will do anything to avoid doing anything to upset the status quo. These people are cowards groveling to those in power in hopes of protection. I just hope people continue to show love and care and kindness. Mutual aid is so important. Give when you can, boost when you can. We only survive this together.
