except the second guy tells you he will save you incrementally, but you know he’s lying and is sitting on the car as it slowly sinks in. the first guy is the reason you in this mess in the first place.
don’t go with either of them
It’s more like the first guy threatens to break your windows to make you drown even quicker, the second guy offers to slowly save you by 2060, you have to choose one, and if you don’t choose, someone else will choose the “drown quick” guy for you
Ah yes voting is when something completely irrelevant…
One Choice: Near instant death drowning
Other Choice: Live but it takes too long to get where you want to be.
Huuurrr Dduurrr THeSE ArE thE SamE
your dead either way
Either case you end up at the bottom of the lake
What is the point of Lemmy if the comments are just gonna get removed bruh.
Useless thread
Echo chambers gotta echo.
Follow the rules and leave your political liberalism at the door and comments won’t get removed

I mean, the sidebar is pretty clear on what this comm is for and what is going to get deleted. The mod isn’t exactly subtle; libs just keep making not getting it.
Seriously, I’m blocking this community.
I wish I could tag communities with Voyager. I’d use tags like “deletes a lot” and “women only” so I’ll know to read only.
You could save yourself the hassle and just follow the fucking rules
Remembering inconsistent rules is the hassle from which I’m trying to save myself.
Now your car is the geographical size of the United States. Its sinking like 1 inch per year. Everyone else in the car is a douche bag.
They murder anyone who says that the car can be saved if we just stop letting it sink.
This is how I feel when it comes to climate change especially. The other issues are important, but the difference between getting M4A now and later is the people it can’t help now. That’s still important, but with climate change we’re hurtling towards a disaster we won’t be able to pull back from if we keep waiting. Every time we get a Dem where the best they can do is maybe undo some of the damage the Reps caused I just feel such despair.
We need stakeholder focus. Unless you’re actually worried about workers, consumers, and those environmentally impacted by the impacts of our economic system, I don’t care about what any politician has to say. - me, a stakeholder socialist.
OMG the main comments are disappearing. Can’t understand what people are arguing anymore.
Disappearing because they keep arguing in favor of the people that’s caused our current situations

What has voting for the fascist pigs gotten you other than more poverty, more homelessness, more war, more debt, less freedom, more oppression?
Several studies have shown voting does not influence policy or politicians.

In this context “not voting because it doesn’t matter” would be sitting in the car until you drown

So you’re upset that a moderated forum is being moderated? Lmao.
I got their last account banned for DM harassment and now he’s doing the same thing again. Whenever liberals are told no, they cry like petulant children at the top of their lungs.
What politicians want us to believe:
Voting: changes the system
Doing politics: it’s for professionals
How it really works:
Voting: the possibility to kick bad persons out
Doing politics: changes the system
Only locally, at least here in the US.
Nationally you have no power politically unless you’re a billionaire or available for purchase by a billionaire. Thankfully, at least locally, good things are still possible.
There are safeguards in place to prevent change

That’s not the choice we have
[rewrites the same exact thing]
You’re missing their point though. People are dying. While things are slow people are dying. At a certain point that becomes a problem doesn’t it? How long do you wait? How slow can we afford it to be?
It’s just kind of absurd to ask people who are dying of lack of Health Care right this minute to be patient. To ask people that are living in crippling poverty to be patient. To ask women and children that are being raped with impunity to be patient. We’re drowning here.
To quote James Baldwin in 1982.
What is it you wanted me to reconcile myself to? I was born here, almost 60 years ago. I’m not going to live another 60 years. You always told me ‘It takes time.’ It’s taken my father’s time, my mother’s time, my uncle’s time, my brothers’ and my sisters’ time. How much time do you want for your progress?"
Nah man we can’t do anything about any of that. If we didn’t kill a few million Working Class People every year then one CEO might not get his golden parachute. So obviously we can never take actual steps to fix things.
Good thing no one’s being asked, it’s just happening.
Sounds like you see yourself as the one outside of the car. Why are you still standing on the embankment while some drowns. What purpose does your concern serve. You are bystander syndrome. Choosing an option that helps no one in this moment.
I don’t know where the fuck you got that idea from. I’m certainly drowning.

Democrats are who keep Republicans in office. Oh, and go fuck yourself, fascist pig.
You definitely have evidence for that accusation right? Haha no obviously you fucking don’t. Reported.

Well you sure showed him by not actually providing evidence though didn’t you?

I have no horse in this race, but I do find it hilarious how you decided to ignore their rule #6 whilst quoting another rule when convenient.
I have been exposed! The horror!
Isn’t that exactly what OP said?
The difference is between one group doing a bad job of rescuing, while the other is actively trying to make things worse.
Isn’t that exactly what OP said?
Though the metaphor doesn’t work because Democrats also actively try to make things worse
vote green 🤷♀️
