Whenever you see anyone urging a certain course of action online, ask yourself who stands to benefit the most. Trans people not voting = transphobes. Climate change denial = fossil fuel companies. It’s always the same playbook.
What the hell? I’ve not heard that yet. What asinine reason are they peddling?
Everyone should vote, all the time. It’s your right and duty. Everyone deserves a say.
You havent heard it for a reason, this guy is completely lying because a trans person told them theyre voting for someone else.
Lol this is a follow-up to another meme in this community. You’ve invented a narrative about something you don’t understand.
Touch grass.
This is straight up lies following an argument you had with a trans person ive quoted for you as stating they will vote, that you cited as an example of telling you to abstain.
So sorry for your inability to discern context.
I hope that gets better for you.
I gave you the context, now challenge it with evidence
Literally look at the verbatim of the post you found your “context” on, you dunce.
Yes, I was incorrect about Objection being one of the many advocating not to vote in the general.
Instead, they’re one of the other dangerous group advocating to “vote” but allow Biden to lose to Trump.
Which is more or less the same, but they get to virtue signal.
If that’s your “gotcha” here, then congrats, I guess.
…this post??? https://lemmy.ml/post/17434215
Bidens losing to Trump all on his own. You can rally behind a better, younger candidate already available, or replace Biden with a better, younger candidate.
If it’s happening, I imagine it’s something along the lines of "Biden did bad things to trans people. If you vote for him, you don’t support trans rights. And Trump is even worse! Don’t vote/vote third party. " There are other issues where I’ve seen this argument, not specifically for trans folks, though.
How many people are actually advocating for non voting?
All I see on Lemmy is people begging for a candidate with a better shot at beating trump, and then they get screeched at that only Biden can stop trump because…
Well, they never give a reason why it has to be Biden.
How many people are actually advocating for non voting?
So, so many. PugJesus’ and my history can attest to that.
I looked at your history since you recommended it.
I don’t know why you wanted me to because it’s not relevant to what we’re talking about, but I did look at your post history like you asked.
I didn’t ask you to look at it – I’m saying I’ve had countless arguments with people saying exactly that.
Keep your eyes closed, if you like.
Edit: You also can’t have looked far. I’ve been interacting with one for the last few hours – https://lemmy.ml/u/objection
I intend to vote for a third party.
Took a while to find the relevant info, but youre bold faced lying. No ones telling you not to vote, theyre just not voting for your genocide candidate

If you’re planning on voting for a rapist, someone with 34 felonies that paid a pornstar hush money from campaign funds for sex while his wife was at home pregnant, you should probably stay home clutching your pearls instead of voting.
It isn’t enough for these people to cast the underprivileged into the fires, they won’t be satisfied until they’ve convinced the underprivileged to throw themselves in as an act of holier than thou defiance
This guy is completely lying, no one told him to abstain from the general election, he was arguing with someone because they are voting third party.
There are people saying this? Ugh. What’s the logic even? No need to take any mask off.
Lmao and you accused me of throwing a tantrum 😂😂😂
Getting so butthurt you make a whole other thread, drama queen much?
Thanks for not joking about suicide this time tho!
Look who couldn’t resist showing up! Experiment complete.
I did it for for you, sweetie. For your sensitive little eyes 👶
Experiment? Jeebus, you need to take your own advice from another thread and go massage some greenery my friend.
Wow, do I have a fan?
Let’s see, you replied to my parent comment, unsolicited.
Then to my post. Again, unsolicited.
I wonder who’s the fan of who…
So bratty~
You literally referenced me multiple times in this thread before I showed up. I know you were thinking of me the whole time you were making this 😘
Thanks for confirming that the pearl-clutching was just that.
I told you from the start that was what it was about. Or at least, I tried to. You seem to have this tendency to assume you know where people are coming from and condescending to them rather than explaining, before you even hear what they’re saying. You even did it again in this very thread!
So much of that drama could’ve been avoided if you’d shown basic decency and respect and talked to me like an actual human being. Then you would’ve seen what I was arguing ages ago. It’s really a very poor style of communication.
Lol, so proud of offering nothing of substance.
You act like a complete prick around here. Don’t expect people to treat you with respect.
This is going off the rails, with all sides telling each other not to vote. Locking as there’s too much to mod here.
