@radiofreetom.bsky.social explained it better than anyone; this is from a thread he posted after the 2024 election. For us, it has nothing to do with politics and everything to do with character. ⬇️

I’m now applying this to people who not only voted for Trump, but those who didn’t vote for Kamala because they had purity rules. I’m tired of them too.

They are the same bunch who couldn't vote for Hillary and reliably assured all of us that Roe vs. Wade would never be overturned. And look what those purity rules brought us.

Harris voter here. Harris tried to be a centrist and lost. Y’all ever think after trying to force the “pragmatic” vote that maybe it’s a losing strategy? If we won I’d take it, but I’d rather lose demanding better than lose settling for breadcrumbs. The pragmatic voting argument lost to Trump twice.

I think you have two choices and you vote for the best of the two choices you have. If you didn’t vote for Kamala, you were wrong. I’m not a political strategist. I’m just a voter who had two choices just like everyone else. One would’ve been infinitely better - to infinity and beyond better

I think if the upthread Harris voter didnt vote but spent less of their time talking other people out of voting for Harris we might be in a better position today

He's right but I'm not sure a single trump voter is actually mature enough to take his advice.

This is such an American conclusion. It's all about "character", because if bad things happen it can't be because there's anything wrong with your perfect political system... Harris voters are apparently of good or adequate character, if only more people were like them..

Yeah, if only more people were like them - because then we wouldn't have Trump. Which would be good. And in what magical political system, exactly, do bad things not happen when lazy, selfish, ill-informed voters elect dim-witted would-be tyrants?

Right, those dimwits who have the nerve to vote need to go back to the rock they were hiding under before 2016, it's not like the US political class (that comprise the system) was grooming them to be exactly like that at least from the eighties onward or anything.

OMG. I missed this last time. It's pitch perfect.

Its not sustainable having to repeatedly vote to stop half the electorate from punching themselves in the face, I stand by that statement and its arguably at least in the same "spirit" as radiofreetom's thread.

Everyone in my immediate family voted for Trump. None see any irony with that and their deep affection for my nephew's wife, the US-born child of (possibly illegal) Mexican immigrants. They never discuss the immigration issue. 🤷♀️
