I have problems with people who abstained. The hard thing is, how do you change voter behavior?

I find it funny how everyone blames everyone except for the Republicans who voted for Trump.

They would rather continue cheering on genocide and racism even more than under Biden, as the deserved retribution for not giving uncritical loyalty to the Party, rather than saying the Democrats should have prioritized winning elections over full support of genocide.

If they had any shame it would make sense to blame them. But they're all ecstatic about all of this and do not give a fuck what anyone who disagrees with them thinks.

they're a lost cause. they might learn when their welfare programs and fema aid are cut, but nothing rational that we can say will convert them.

Politics is like religion for those that voted for Trump. You can't tell them that their "god" sucks and you should follow this other "god".

So you have to go after the agnostics or the blue voters that "don't go to Church every Sunday", so to speak.

I mean on the whole, yeah, humanity is doomed. But hopefully this helps you understand.

That sounds like, "You can't argue with a crazy murderer. So let's blame the victim."

Cute attempt at an analogy. Mind if I try?

"You can't argue with a crazy murderer. So let's try to convince the people standing in front of his house with knives to turn them against him instead of driving them into their own chests while he watches."

Inaction is a choice. You're not a victim when your choices lead to your own suffering. The only victims are the ones who saw what was coming and tried to do whatever they could to stop it. Everybody else got what they chose.

Ignoring risk mitigation is also a choice, just saying

Jesus: I give my body and blood so that you all may survive and thrive together, oh well not those guys, they look different.. oh and those women, under qualified for being born a woman, oh and that guy over there, was he born on this side of the border? Who does that one believe in... You say none of them believed in me before now? Fuck em all to hell then I guess.
