Nothing gives Israel a special right to invade neighbors, bulldoze their homes, and create a DMZ.

bingo

it's all about the ego masturbation. it's never about improving the world

morality without action isn't morality at all. and all action is imperfect

but they want perfect

thus, if action is imperfect they won't act at all. and therefore they aren't moral at all

all they have is patting themselves on their back in their mind palace while the world goes to shit. partly because of their entitlement and indolence

people need to fucking vote

@Pine_Affinity @c_merriweather @pascaline @Netraven @mcnado

it's kind of hard, pine affinity, to be judged by someone who sits there with a smirk and does nothing while we march to fascism. partly getting to fascism because you won't do shit except whine and imagine yourself superior. when you have no superiority. you have toxic idealism and immaturity

[benroyce@mastodon.social]

@Tofu_Golem @screwturn @Pine_Affinity @JakeKb @Netraven @mcnado

nope

if you show up, especially in the primaries, you get the candidates you want

if you don't, you don't

bad candidates do not cause lack of voting

lack of voting causes bad candidates

you have the cause and effect reversed and are abrogating a simple effort to make your will known. and for what? ego masturbation over toxic idealism?

not voting is monumentally stupid, and is the cause of our problems as much as MAGA

@Darkphoenix @screwturn @Pine_Affinity @Netraven @mcnado

and thus: vote

get him out in the primary in 2028

@screwturn @Pine_Affinity @benroyce @Netraven @mcnado at this point in history no one should vote for a Republican.

hey did you know that the US military is the largest greenhouse gas polluter on the planet and that Dems have consistently voted to increase its funding year over year?

@Darkphoenix

Ok, but you need a replacement.
The way you get rid of him is to primary him with someone better.

now do the GOP

now realize those are your only 2 choices

now realize when you don't vote you help the GOP win

welcome to reality pine affinity

you imagine you can drop out. as if your inaction won't affect you. this means you're entitled and you don't care about healthcare, trans people, women, immigrants, climate change, iran war, etc. or you do care but you're too stupid to realize what your "noble" nothingburger is

[rozeboosje@masto.ai]

@benroyce @Pine_Affinity @c_merriweather @pascaline @Netraven @mcnado I don't think you're going to get through that thick skull of his, Ben. Looks like Pine genuinely believes that if you click your heels three times and you say "there's no place like home", you'll go right back to Kansas

@Sfwmson well put

@benroyce @c_merriweather @Pine_Affinity @pascaline @Netraven @mcnado

If 1 in 1000 political volunteer hours goes into the TDG, the TDG will move forward. And the current system still gets 999 volunteer hours. It should not miss the 1 hour it has lost.

Only a few TDG people are needed to start this movement off.

And the TDG requires only 10 hours a month. Some people can participate in both systems, thus hedging their bet.

[pine_affinity@mastodon.social]

Why do you consider the GOP ‘one of the choices’?
