If you need to be persuaded to vote out Republicans, you aren't actually against fascism.
100% geek and caretaker when not politics-ing.

Guess progressives should have shown up to the primaries.

"And I can encourage primaries against those Dems"
They're in conservative states. Good luck having progressives win in those states if you do absolutely nothing to change the conservative views of the voters in question.

"Someone should look into why people voted for Republicans"
Because they're dumb, and/or bigots.
There's no other reasons to do so.

So you're saying everyone is lying about what they'll do?
Interesting.

I am motivated by solving problems and making things better, so when it actually works, yeah, it honestly does feed my being.
And in the end the only things that live on after me are the changes I make in the world, not the time I spent on my entirely personal hobbies no matter how fun they were.

There's two separate convos here, I think.
If people merely aren't interested, then it's because talking about the things you enjoy only to get radio silence is boring at best and demoralizing at worst.
If I'm going to shout into the void, I prefer to at least shout about serious things instead.

Yep.
As it's like, am I happy that Democrats caved? No.
But in the end the Republicans are doing what most of us either voted for them doing or sat back to let them do.
We should reflect on having to rely on Dems to save us from what we voted for in the first place.

And I see thus far literally zero indication that the American public is willing to admit to and own this fact.
I already see "I'm sitting home and not voting for Democrats" and that's what actually results in no consequences: That sitting home and letting Repubs stay in power to keep doing this.

My point was exactly what I said it was.
The real reason Trump receives no consequences is because the American voting public does not give any consequences to him and other Republicans.
We essentially are mad that Democrats aren't saving us from our own intentional voting choices.

"When Trump can be unhinged and take and take while facing no consequences"
Like not being voted out of office because people are more worried about sticking it to Democrats, for example? That kind of not facing any consequences?
Buck stops with voters, folks.

And truly, no, my tastes are honestly just weird and boring. I like turn based indie games and cRPGs. I like folk music and barbershop. I like obscure hobby board games. I research science and political topics for fun as much as being informed. I think making spreadsheets is entertaining. And so on.

For me being not liked isn't about attention, it's that people love to viciously attack me for some reason.
Which feeds my reticence. Being attacked for discussing a controversial political thing, I'm used to that. Getting attacked for trying to sincerely discuss a thing I enjoy, that just sucks.

But... yeah, I guess.
FYI, I guess I have to say, I don't do the mutual follows thing. And if I don't follow you back it's not a slight or personal. And if you only follow people who mutual and want to unfollow as a result, I won't be mad and godspeed.
But, uh, don't attack me, please.

Told them if they followed for mutual purposes, that's fine and I won't be offended if they unfollow.
For some reason instead of accepting that they started getting bitchy and hostile at me on other posts. So ironically I didn't have an issue with them before, but *now* I had one and blocked them.

Sure, dude.
Like I said, I actually didn't have an issue with you before now, but now I do.
Please get help with whatever has made you suddenly decide to be an asshole for no reason.

I don't know why you chose to suddenly be an asshole for no reason, but, you need to stop thanks.

If you're cool with that and want to keep following me, I'm happy to talk with you on my posts because I've liked what convos we have had, if you only follow people who mutual, that's fine too and godspeed, but you need to not attack me about it if so.

Because, like I said, I never followed you, and the reason I didn't follow you is not any personal slight on you, it's because I rarely follow people in general unless they're influencers or companies whose news I want to follow, or they're personal friends.

Yeah, you're being hostile towards me right now for literally no reason whatsoever.
No, I do mind you randomly attacking me out of the blue. I mind when people react to me in ways that make literally no sense whatsoever compared to anything I said or did.
So can you explain what I'm missing?
