I think it's a little disingenuous to describe the mood as "berating people into voting the way you want".
The US, the leader of the free world, is now a fascist dictatorship.
I'm very frustrated, worried, and angry. When discussing it with people who did not take action to avoid this outcome, it's very difficult for that frustration not to leak out.
Harris made it a performative point to tell her anti-genocide constituency to go fuck themselves at every campaign stop because by god she was going to continue arming a genocide and you're gonna fucking like it, just like her friends from the GWB administration and Congress do.
Hyperbole.
They literally did that though. See the Obamas shitting on black people who dont immediately have the impulse to vote for kamala.
I didn't see that myself but I'll take your word for it.
Personally I wouldn't know how else to react to a black person who wasn't planning to vote for Kamala.
Barrack accused men of being afraid to vote for a woman, which undermines their actual reasons for being undecided or non-voters. Its also insulting to think all black people should automatically vote for a black person.
Did "Barrack accuse men" or did he address the hesitancy amongst some men?
I agree that it would be insulting to think Black people should vote for a Black person, but I would think a Black person not doing everything within their control to avoid a Trump presidency is reprehensible.
People throw this terminology around too lightly. If you truly lived in a fascist dictatorship you wouldn't say a word about it as you and those around you would be taken off at gunpoint never to be seen again. Either deleted or placed in some labor camp until you expired.
That's subjective.
Really? Name an actual fascist dictatorship where that is not the case.
The term fascist dictatorship is subjective. I'm not going to have a silly argument about what it means to you and how that differs from what it means to me.
