Comment on The highlighted division and factions of Lemmy.
Serinus@lemmy.world 1 day agoYou’re encouraging people to “stay home in well-earned disgust”. That serves the fascists.
End of story.
There are ways to say what you want to say carefully. But in my opinion stopping the Nazis needs to come before any other priorities.

I’m remarking on a genuine phenomenon. At no point did I tell anyone to stay home, but anyone who wants no criticism of the party interprets all criticism as such.

At this point not telling people to stay home from voting isn’t good enough. It’s great to discuss different views. But especially when heaping criticism, you must balance that with warranted criticism of opposing political sides. Making a point about the democrat’s failure to stop the abuses by Israel needs to be alongside the context of the republican’s stated goals to flatten Gaza and turn the area into a trump casino. Otherwise you are damaging the democrats relative reputation and so promoting worse outcomes for the people of Gaza by helping the GOP. If you can help with the bigger picture while also helping with specific causes, that’s great.

Nothing but performative worship of democrats for their support for genocide will ever satisfy centrists.
