I feel like you’ve got a lot in common with Terrence Howard. Confidence galore without the basic math skills to know you’re objectively misguided. Insulting people doesn’t change any minds, but neither does coddling them, pretending they have a point.
nsulting people doesn’t change any minds, but neither does coddling them, pretending they have a point.
Are you implying that I have insulted someone? If so, please let me know or show me a sample. I, on the other hand, get insulted and called names on here daily. But I haven’t called anyone names. So I’m not sure what you mean.
It was a description of how calling you names won’t change your mind, but neither does pretending that you have a point. You’ve clearly turtled up because people insult you on here, but consider how else someone is supposed to get through to you when the answer of why you’re wrong is incredibly simple? You’re completely walled off from reality.
You’ve clearly turtled up because people insult you on here
Nah, I don’t mind the insults, but it was really just the same comments and insults over and over with many of the same people. So those people know my reasoning by now.
Funny you mention the insults tho, because when I mention I get insulted on here, I get lots of comments and variations of, “Oh you are just crying victim. No one is insulting you.” Um…
I mean, how many responses can I possibly have for “So you want Trump to win! Admit it!” or “You’re not even American, you’re russian. Admit it!!” lol Tho to be honest, as much as I argue with those guys, you’d think they’d realize that if I wanted Trump to win, I’d happily admit it on here. That would drive them crazy!
And why do I get all this hate? Because I post an article—just an article—from widely-read sites that get way more traffic than Lemmy. I didn’t write it, edit it, or produce it. Yet suddenly, I’m labeled a Trump supporter. Think about that logic for a second. Think about the level of censorship people are pushing for here. They don’t want certain news articles to be seen. Seriously, let that sink in.
You’re completely walled off from reality.
Why? Because i am still voting for third party?! I mean, it’s not really that deep. I’m voting for my values, and I’m not scared of Trump. I won’t vote out of fear. As I said many times, I respect and support your right to vote how you wish. I deserve that same respect.
Half of the entire country is not voting for Harris. Does that mean that every single one of them is “walled off from reality”? Is every single person that’s not voting for Harris a fascist?! Is every single person that’s not voting for Harris just clueless? All those millions of people are just ignorant and insane?
Nearly all of my critics here on Lemmy would answer “yes” to those questions. The Democrats on this platform have become just as self-righteous, if not more so, than the very Republicans they accuse of the same behavior.
So no, I’m not “walled off from reality” and I’m not Terrance Howard. I simply am voting for who I want to, and not voting for how I don’t want to. Yes, it’s really that simple. I don’t like Harris. I don’t like Trump. So I’m not voting for either one of them. I don’t care how ignorant you think I am or walled from reality I am, etc.
I’ve been alive for longer than most Lemmys have been able to vote. I’ve seen what can be done, and what ISN’T being done. By both parties. And guess what? So have many others.
You all can keep voting out of fear. It’s totally within your rights. I won’t.
