    Understanding that people regularly vote against their own interest and then gleefully celebrate them doing so… You are also sounding real fucking evil bud.

      I don’t understand what you’re saying. I’m trying to do the exact opposite of celebrating anyone’s misfortune. That’s kinda gross, to me

      I know people that can’t even vote that are likely going to have to seriously consider what states they visit or worse. It’s wild that people that supposedly voted against it now support it because they want to feel good about themselves. Classic American shit, tbh

        Oh please, the specific criticism you brought up unprovoked has been repeated nearly exclusively by leftist accelerationists who are too busy virtue signaling to even bother to participate with electorial harm reduction.

          What exactly are you referring to? I’m saying I think it’s gross to celebrate bad things happening to people you disagree with. If my brother was happy that I was scammed, I’d think he’s a dick. If he later said he actually cared about me I’d remember him laughing.

          I simply don’t see my fellow Americans as the enemy, I see them as people I disagree with. I see the wealthy people and the institutions that protect them as the enemy. Helping to divide poor people is very much against what I’d consider good politics

          You’re saying leftist accelerationists are saying that? Weren’t they saying don’t vote/vote Trump because that will help people realize they need change or some bs like that? How did/does it seem like I’m saying that? What did I comment that caused you to have that assumption/reaction to what I was saying? The election’s over. Votes are cast. Let’s not be sore losers. Let’s talk. Let’s learn. Idk, back to basics time, to me. This is not the time to say I knew/know everything, no one better try to approach me with an alternative POV

          That said, I get there’s a lot of pressure from bad actors testing literally everything we believe in.
