edit: seems like some people interpret “full of” as a mathematical majority which, while it may or might not be true instance to instance, isn’t my intent in posting

feel free to swap in “has a lot of” if that’s more familiar language to you :)

I saw some comment (since been removed by mods) about 'You get what you vote for!" on an article about the teenagers who got caught in the flood. Basically, liberal blue-maga behavior instead of leftist solidarity among us poors.

Yeah, I can’t stand that stuff. Like when Michael Moore was celebrating the Texas grid failures and the ice storm. I’m like, the whole reason I’m against traitor lunatic policies is because they are harmful.

The only time I’m down with “have the day you voted for” type thinking is when it’s a rich person losing their business or something.

It’s so sad. Voting age in the US is 18 for the record so even if we ignore the historic systemic voting barriers for older people and across generations, it’s also transparently malicious to blame teens, most of whom never voted once, for their deaths.

Hell even if they were an actual adult who very much voted the wrong way and fully drank the cool aid, death is not okay and seeing people online celebrate it because they're "the bad guys" kinda makes me sick.

One of the reasons I got off reddit was any time a video from Ukraine came up the comments were just full of insults and jokes about the Russian soldier who died. And yeah, there is no redeeming qualities of Russia invading Ukraine and they could stop the war just as easily as they started it, but come on guys. That's some guy, a guy who had family and friends and desires and dislikes and now he's dying a slow and painful death in a field somewhere.

You can not like the "other side" but you gotta hold onto your humanity.

Truth! And, if my understanding of history and sources are correct, Russian citizenry had even less say in their government or precipitating invasion than the average American.

Russian elections are like, crazy rigged. I’m sure our president is jealous.
