US Election: Discussion Thread

You blamed fucking WHITE PEOPLE for this

generalizing the fucking color of people’s skin

I do not want to hear from someone like you. It’s not only wrong, but just scummy to have that thought even in your head

i never blamed white people? I just said the uneducated white vote would give donald trump a consistent base of support that meant he could never significantly underpeform

I think you’re missing that people not voting for Harris are refusing to vote for what they perceive to be as evil. You can’t say that they’re complicit in evil by not voting, but they’re definitely not complicit in evil voting for someone who primarily signaled continuing support for genocide. Thinking of Democrats vs Republicans as Good vs Evil is your view, but it’s not the view of most people. For most it’s probably a question of lesser evil. The only ones with the power to change that perception are the ones actually campaigning and coming up with policies.

Sister you literally called people disgusting creatures earlier.

I called someone committing an action, disgusting.

If you think what I said has anything close to commenting on a skin color of people, you need to see for the first time in your life

An action you chose is similar to commenting on someoen’s fucking SKINPIGMNET?

like who tf are you

I do not think this conversation is productive or nessesary

yeah i got a lot of things I might like to say, but none of them I will! See yall in 2028

Educate yourself. That’s how you can do it.

Do not say others are to blame for your being void of intelligence.

This is not lesser evils, we have humans on one side, and evil creatures on the other.

Humans fuck up, and we do bad things. We have morals and want to do good. Do not compare these two groups because you simply want to be uneducated.

I WORKED WITH THOSE DEMS FOR MONTHS. Do not talk as if these people want evil

Dear god

it is a truth that people’s skin colour is an indicator about their electoral habits
the data supports it
marshal’s comment wasn’t necessarily blaming uneducated white men but harris’ appeal to the uneducated white man, which I think was quite poor

Marissa’s statement was about Trump’s consistent level of support among white men which is true? But anyway I do think dehumanization is worse than generalization (not that I think she generalized). Hope this helps

Pausing this for the time being

Hello.
Current tensions are running adverse to this thread’s intent. As initially stated, the Global Rules remain in effect; it’s not okay to spark conflict and argumentation in a space meant for courteous dialogue. Take a breather, everyone. Relax. Thank you.

hi friends what’d I miss

pain, but you’re in mu debate so lol

they disabled likes in the us election thread how am i supposed to know who to side with

I will just assume you like every post of mine

btw sorry for earlier

feels like I wasted 3 years of my life ever since jan 6th 2021. lot of time and effort to make a difference. I know you cant always win, but this one hurt a lot.

she might genuinely lose every swing state.

it’s not even about gaza anymore, no gaza policy can account for that gap. it’s about inflation, it’s about people who have had it hammered into them that the economy is bad and that it’s biden and harris’s fault. with that in mind i’m genuinely not sure which democratic candidate could’ve won this election. walz is my best guess, but i’m not confident even he could’ve done it.

this might just not have been a winnable election
