    Your comment won’t be popular here in the fediverse among Americans, and neither will mine, likely. But as an American I wanted to say I can appreciate your position. What OP’s rant looks like to an outsider is almost the same as what OP is complaining about. I get that a vote for Dems was just a vote for a less shitty situation close to home. To someone whose family is being killed by American supplied arms it is fascist shit all the way down. The schadenfreude you are feeling toward America is the same as that OP is expressing toward non-voters. Some version of, “How do you like the results of your shitty actions?”

    Being in the thick of it I have a hard time with the “tear it all down as fast as possible” position. But, I get it.

    Upvoted for bringing broader perspectives to Lemmy. Whatever comes next we can’t afford not to see the bigger/biggest picture.

      Thank you for this, the contempt the original comment shows how very unprinciplaled they are: missing the forest for the trees and throwing their brothers and sisters under.

        throwing their brothers and sisters under.

        No, you did this by refusing to vote against it. Now you walk away from them, having not even tried to save them.
