It’s not infighting, neo-liberals are conservatives, they’re not the left as they’re portrayed to be in news and media. The gulf of ideology between a leftist and neo-liberal is huge.
While I agree with the sentiment, protest non-voting is already tantamount to infighting. This comment is just pointing fingers to set blame on another, which is stupid. But at the same time, calling for protest non-voters to unify with the rest of us should be the goal. That is the opposite of infighting. That’s not exactly what OP was doing, but that is the remedy.
Welcome to Lemmy, this place is a fuckin trip. Wait till you hear the LLml bots tell you that North Korea is actually a good actually for really real socialist state. You’d think it’s a circus what with it being filled to the fuckin brim with clowns.
I don’t unite with dipshits that shame their democracy and the people that died for it by not voting. They are stupid and I don’t associate with stupid people.
America isn’t this way because of Trump. Trump is this way because of America.
Trump isn’t the hero America needs, but he’s the one America deserves. It’s just a shame the rest of the world has to suffer because of American ignorance, entitlement and apathy.
Then why are the grand majority disapproving of him? His latest polls show 31-33% approval.
You people know nothing of what’s going on here. You just espouse subjective rhetoric that Trump himself and the GOP loves to read.
What could be better than natural allies across borders unifying? Division is Trump’s goal, and we can all see that clear as day. You’re an accomplice to these evil people if your here to create the same results, perhaps even a “useful idiot”.
Rethink your actions and words, lest you be exactly what I suspect you to be: a blatent propagandist targeting the western world.
You might want to check that election data again because Trump would have won with or without Harris receiving those “protest votes.” If you want to blame someone for this mess, blame the party leaders who put their thumb on the scale to foist the absolute worst possible candidates on us three presidential elections in a row. This is the result of those party leaders trying to straddle the line of serving the same corporate donors that Republicans do while pretending to stand for "the people "
Trump would have won with or without Harris receiving those “protest votes.”
This, in no way, makes me hate non-voters any less. A drunk driver that happens to make it home without slaughtering someone is still a fucking drunk driving piece of shit.
This also goes for people that voted for 3rd party candidates with ZERO path to victory.
To me, you don’t sound any different than a Republican sycophant who puts party over everything and still supports Trump. You’re literally blaming everyone except for the people running the party who picked the losing candidate, the losing candidate, and the people running her losing campaign. In your eyes, only the party is right and everyone else is wrong. This was nearly the third time in a row they tried this losing strategy and lost, but go on and keep telling us how right they are/were.
Harris also had zero path to victory, and yet here you are acting self-righteous like your choice was the correct one even though it gave Trump the win. To use your own analogy, you are the drunk driver who totaled your car in 2016 and 2024, but narrowly made it home once in 2020 so you want to convince us that you’re “good to drive.”
Well I’m sorry to inform you that Harris voters are the ones who voted for this. If they hadn’t thrown their votes away in protest by voting for a losing candidate, Trump wouldn’t be in office right now.
See how useful your argument (or “information”) is?
This is what you voted for protest-non-voters.
Yup.
Not voting is condoning whatever happens, good or bad. If you stayed home, you rubberstamped all of what’s happening.
This is what you’re achieving by braindead infighting.
They spent decades and trillions of dollars on making sure Americans can’t unite. Looks like the investment paid off.

Me: vote.
You: stop telling people to vote! (Or whatever that was.)
Unreal.

Me: stop infighting.
You: absolutely not. I hate people who slightly disagree with me more than the elites. (Or whatever that was.)

Nuh uh! They are moral angels, you monster!! /s
The most moral Voters™️ in the world, they wouldn’t hurt a fly!
Unless it was on the ballot, of course.
I’ve heard that the Purity Ponies are much like Kim Jong-un - they are so perfect, they don’t even need to relieve themselves!
Such magical beings. We could all aspire to be like them.

Optimist of you to think votes had anything to do with putting trump back in the white house and giving congress away to the conservatives.
If voting didn’t work the republicans wouldn’t be trying so hard to take it from you.
Uh yeah that’s how Trump got into the White House and those conservatives got into Congress.
That’s like, the whole point.

Who’s blaming. I am informing protest-non-voters what they voted for.

Except, this (see article) is what protest-non-voters voted for.
Yeah, that is the functional equivalence of the voot argument.
