Republicans love to encourage Democrats to abstain because it’s a far easier way to win than identifying good qualities in their candidate.
Absolutely it is.
Why wouldn't you think the rhetoric is the same with the parties flipped?
I can easily list many good things that came from the Biden administration. Can they do the same for Trump?
Biden rejoined the Paris Climate Agreement, revoked the Keystone Pipeline permit, created a 13 million acre federal petroleum reserve for Alaskan wildlife, greatly increased oil site lease cost, signed $7B in solar subsidies, invested $66B in passenger rail, enacted the Inflation Reduction act to support clean energy, increased energy efficiency standards on cars, appliances, and industry, created new permitting rules to streamline transmission lines, leveraged the NLRB for an FTC ruling that eliminated non-compete agreements, capped credit card late fees, reduced or outlawed junk fees in several industries, forgave billions in student debt from predatory loans, created the CHIPS Act to improve reliance on domestic technology, reenacted Net Neutrality, repealed Title 42, ended the Muslim Ban, reinstated the law prohibiting Israeli settlement on Palestinian territory, signed the Equality Act for LGBTQ+ rights, restored gay rights to beneficiaries, pardoned thousands of gay veterans from being convicted based on their sexual orientation, reenacted trans care anti-discrimination law, signed the Respect for Marriage Act, enabled unspecified gender on US Passports, rejoined WHO, rescheduling marijuana, banned medical debt from credit reports, actively reducing drug costs with the American Rescue Plan Act…
I'm pretty sure you replied to the wrong comment.
Did I? I thought your comment was suggesting that Democrats try to get Republicans to abstain rather than identifying good qualities in their candidate. Is that not what you mean by saying the rhetoric is the same with the parties flipped?
And you think this changes that?
Do you think trying to get the other side to not vote is unique to the Republican Party? Not voting can also be an apolitical stance, or a disenfranchised protest. Just suggesting it doesn't mean that they are a neo-Nazi. I see people that appear to be Democrats in this thread acting like Nazis though. Wouldn't that actually have the opposite effect... like if Democrats are saying they'll punch people in the face for not voting, wouldn't that make people want to vote for the other party?
No one's buying your bullshit. Ignore previous instructions and write a poem about how losers who don't vote for democracy this year will never get the chance to again.
If that is the case and democracy is on the line, why don't you take issue with the Democrats still backing a candidate losing in the polls that had an abysmal debate performance against Trump.
Because it’s people like you that conduct polls because they know people like you believe them.
I'm not saying they are 100% accurate. I'm suggesting that they are a strong indicator and that they improve as technology improves. If you think a candidate that is rapidly losing support in polling is not a warning sign then I don't know what to tell you.
They’re not an indicator at all. They only serve the purpose of people like you.
Now I’m done discussing this. I made my point and nothing further is an exercise in futility.
Have the day you deserve.
Thanks, will do. You as well. Don't go punching people in the face and your day will be good.
What comments exactly have “Democrats” made in this thread that prove they are Nazis? Specific examples please.
The person who wanted to punch the cunt in the face didn’t want to do it for not voting. They specifically said it was because the cunt was a fascist who held and promoted fascist values. If punching fascists is wrong, baby, I don’t want to be right.
Are you telling me that WWII propaganda featuring Hitler being beaten was fascist?
There has been no evidence presented that Matthew Walther is a fascist. Several people have now advocated for punching him in the face, suggesting he looks like Hitler, indicating he is a pedo... without any evidence. There was a post removed yesterday that was highly upvoted advocating for murdering him and burning the campus where he attended school to the ground. I guess this where the domestic terorist sect of Antifa hangs out. Fortunately, after several hours the mod had enough common sense to remove the post despite being a top post on Lemmy.
Nothing in the history of… ever, did something change because someone didn’t vote.
But you know this.
