Poly mfs can have a falling out with their entire unit at once and actually end up single. Apparently it isn’t a fun experience.

You share the lack of perspective that most libs have. You don’t understand just how unstable our world is. You have a lack of imagination, similar to me when I was younger, mostly because my parents kept me sheltered from the world they grew up in. Growing up poor and Latino in dysfunctional households motivated them to protect me.

Unlike you, I did eventually learn how dangerous the world can be without suffering the worst of it. I read about history, learned about political science, and talked with people who actually remember how terrible the world can be. The challenges we are nearly guaranteed to face in the next decade will come as such a brutal shock to people who’ve never been in danger.

You think Trump swinging “a lot of things right” isn’t a big deal because you’re privileged as fuck, even compared to me. I grew up near your city, and there was a common sense of ignorance that I noticed. People just didn’t have the same financial concerns my family had. I always felt like an outsider in terms of class, even if the people were supposedly progressive. Get Out felt so relatable to me because I’d spent my life around out of touch liberals like you.

You’re not ill intentioned, just privileged, protected by the consequences of politics. You’re calling me hysterical because you’re a Dunning-Kruger champagne socialist. I’m not trying to play oppression Olympics, as I’m privileged too, but you don’t understand how dangerous and brutal the world is.

Not me specifically, but they want trans people eradicated, and I am indeed trans. If you aren’t aware of what they’re literally saying about us, what they’re already doing to us in red states, that’s your problem.

I’m also brown, educated, left wing, outspoken, neurodivergent, bisexual, and a woman. I’m the embodiment of everything they hate. I’m their worst nightmare. I’m an obvious target for the state violence Trump promises to carry out. I made the mistake of not taking him on his word last time, and I won’t make it again.

Everything done by the United States government before Trump was done under the liberal ideology. They’ve justified slavery and social security, the United Nations and support for military dictatorships, ethnic cleansing and the right to vote, all from valid use of that contradictory ideology. It’s filled with amazing ideas and terrible ideas that are all at war with one another.

The major problem with it for lemmy users is how much liberals support capitalism and imperialism. Both of these things are the source of most of our biggest problems, and liberals consistently fail to restrain themselves.

They used to be, but the current Republican party explicitly rejects liberalism. They don’t follow any liberal ideas, even on capitalism and free markets. They’re willing to bend any principle for power. They’re fascists.

Nah. Tankies are imperialist scum, just like liberals.

Hope makes you more likely to succeed, even if it guarantees nothing. All predictions of the future are extremely fallible, even hopeless ones. It’s no more an illusion than being a doomer who guarantees their own failure.

Last I heard lots of trans people are killing themselves. Sounds like a mental health crisis more than a political one.

As someone with formal experience in psychology and mental health, the entire mental health crisis our society faces is the result of politics. As economic inequality goes up, mental health problems go up. Workers pushed by their bosses burn out. People living paycheck to paycheck have worse mental health. Everyone has worse access to healthcare and don’t seek the help they need because they can’t afford it. Trans people kill ourselves because our problems aren’t taken seriously by close minded people like you.

You see mental problems as a personal fault rather than a collective responsibility. This is because you think people deserve what they get and have sole “responsibility” for their suffering. You act woke, but you’re more ignorant to suffering Biden. Tell your children how you voted and never deny that you let a fascist gain power. Hopefully they’ll be decent people in spite of your efforts.

Yes actually, but you think us suffering because of a profit driven healthcare system is an individual mental health problem rather than a collective political one. You wouldn’t lift a finger to help me in any way. You don’t care about my well-being, only belittling me so you can dismiss me as hysterical.

Keep on repeating your comfortable narratives about there being a better alternative to Biden. At least your vote won’t make a difference. Who knows, maybe you’ll stay home and not vote for conservative democrats at the local level?
