Shut the fuck up with this Republican trash.

I've never been in, nor contemplated the possible existence of, a situation where picking the less bad option was infinitely better than picking the most bad option.

Jesus Christ, grow the fuck up.

Was this post not originally about drinking alcohol on the weekend? I feel like the comments I see don't really match the meme.

Well, I will take sensible policies over regressive.

The odds of them doing it are still better than the odds of Republicans doing it.

Bruh you're not even US American, get outta here with this defeatist crap. Don't you have your own right wing surge to fight in Germany?

SPD, the Greens and FDP: "If we win the Bundestag, Bundesrat and Cancellorship, we'll definetly implement progressive politics." ;)

[–] growsomethinggood@reddthat.com 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Thank you lol

I am noting that OP didn't respond here, mayhaps they enjoy critiquing political circumstances they can't contribute to more than addressing their own? 🤔

And they edited the post to something innocuous! For anyone coming in late, the original was what u/Prunebutt here said but with US politics instead.

It just went way too emotional, so I changed it,.

Read the other comments I made for explanation...

[–] Uebercomplicated@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Ist das sarkastisch gemeint? Ich kann mir wirklich nicht vorstellen, dass die FDP irgendetwas legitim Progressives gutheißen würde.

[–] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 week ago

Also... ja, auch. Aber die FDP gibt sich technologieoffen, "ideologiefrei" und ja: progressiv.

Das heiß dann halt girlboss-feminismus, Regenbogen-Kapitalismus und Flugtaxis.

Still infinitely more likely than if Republicans win.

at least won't tear down the current ones which is a big improvement over the alternative. usually repair a few that have been hobbled previously to which is a win win.

I changed it because people, voted to irrationally in my opinion...

No I am not republican, it's just a no good voting system....

[–] growsomethinggood@reddthat.com 13 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Look, folks in the US are extremely on edge about this election (that's both currently happening through early voting and the last day possible within 2 weeks), and in particular, foreign interference/propaganda. There's a lot of crap we're getting from every angle under the sun trying to get "the right people" to vote and "the wrong people" to stay at home, depending on the political inclination. It's exhausting and we're having a bad time. We know shit sucks here and we are trying our hardest to not descend further into fascism with a guy who literally admires Hitler. If we get some lightly progressive policies out of it, that's great. By pushing some "both parties suck" propaganda in this eleventh hour, everyone is going to dog pile you because we're sick of this so much.

"we have to vote for a genocidal regime because the other guy is even worse"

U can vote for genocide or u can vote 3rd party, that is that. Maybe u can excuse genocide, amerikkkans are very comfy with it and have always love doing it but i can not.

[–] EherVielleicht@feddit.org -2 points 1 week ago

That was not my intention.

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

No idea what it was before, but it's still propaganda, whether intentional or not.

[–] EherVielleicht@feddit.org 1 points 1 week ago

Dump idea in these times, I agree....
