Faine Greenwood: Blocking everyone who comes into my mentions to say that we should vote third party or not vote at all does wonders for my sanity

Blocking everyone who comes into my mentions to say that we should vote third party or not vote at all does wonders for my sanity

I wish I’d done that with every Bernie Bro who got absolutely rabid toward me in 2016. They were all “you’re a vagina voter!” while I was like “if by that you mean, wanting to protect bodily autonomy from an apocalyptic Supreme Court, then yes.” I wanted to be wrong.

The vagina voter thing was fucking repulsive

Christ am I glad I missed this bullshit

I've been doing that long enough that I think I may have blocked all of them.

Muhahaha, not all! We shall never die!!!! *proceeds to get blocked, rendering my opinion voiceless to the masses*

I found that blocking the idiots in a handful big threads hugely cut down the number I see. Now, I mostly see just suspect little few-days-old accounts with no posts, just replies.

I won’t take a run at others for these tales, but part of that contract is that anyone who takes a run at me for talking on my own about how Trump must be stopped catches a swift and decisive block

Wait brain worms guy won’t save us all??!

you gotta be more specific here

Can’t. Brain worms got me.

oh you mean DOG-EATING brain worms guy

Well not if he's not going to eat people, so disappointing

Eating humans is a reliable way of acquiring something even worse than brain worms. And possibly brain worms themselves, because those are usually acquired via consuming tapeworm eggs. www.npr.org/sections/the...

When People Ate People, A Strange Disease Emergedwww.npr.org For decades, a rare disease crawled across Papua New Guinea. When scientists realized what was behind kuru, it caught everyone by surprise. But similar diseases can still be transmitted through food.

That nonsense is how we got into trouble in 2016. Idiots. Biden will get my vote, period. I never want to see Dump in office again.

No it's not.

Yes, it is. The email lady got this same “she’s too sickly to ever be president” which bled off just enough third party votes where she won the popular vote by millions and lost the electoral college.

or it could have been that the dem candidate had terrible ground game and a reputation that was in the toilet before the primaries even started

this is like blaming nader for 2000 instead of blaming it on the election being stolen

Agree to disagree. Have a pleasant evening.

Why do you assume that third party votes would have gone to Clinton? Never mind the tautology of "she would have won if she had gotten enough votes."

Why? Because I feel like it.

Ok so this affair is more about the ego than concrete political realities.

she hadn’t armed a genocide yet idk, people got their reasons beyond falling for right wing psyops

and i say this as someone who very well may let fear and short termed pragmatism outweigh my most dearly held principles.

Voting 3rd party is going to Starbucks and ordering lasagna to stick it to Starbucks for not offering lasagna.

Yes absolutely. Pure malice.

With you! They’re Literally the dumbest of the dumb. Or RW plants. Or both.

#1 I have yet to encounter a 3rd party that has anything of value policy wise that makes them better than Democrats #2 - they never talk about how voting for a 3rd party candidate will govern if elected #3 - if they need to make a stupid, futile gesture maybe show some stones and go after the GOP

Faine I can't express how much I agree. I've been blocking dozens of people a day this past week, way up from mid June which itself was way up from before then.

But Faine, he already said he DOESNT eat people. What more can you ask for?!

one of the most annoying things is criticism like "Hillary didn't campaign hard enough in Wisconsin"ok like is that why you didn't vote? You abstained because you didn't find the campaign strategy up to your standards? Fuck off lol

That would piss me the fuck off but I haven't seen it which leads me to believe I've been a really effective blocker!

I would love to vote third party. I'm not really happy with the current Democrats, who have run to the right in the 50 years that I've been paying attention. Noe, just point me at a leftist party popular enough to do more than just siphon votes so TFG wins. Bueller?

Voting 3rd party for Prez is just pointless unless your 3rd party has significant congressional support they would have no power even if they won.

Yes. That’s why, at this point, voting for s third party is quixotic, at best.

There isn't one, and isn't going to be. There is no significant support for such a thing. Next.

My point exactly.

no such thing as a leftist party in the US.

Absolutely true. Even what is called "leftist" is, by my mid-1970s standards, center-left.

all hail to the hypnotoad

He won’t eat a human so there’s that.

If everyone did that there would be no @countbinface.bsky.social

I can’t handle those people. They don’t understand basic math.

Found doing so on reddit too, in the r/new or r/controversial helps a lot since most of the posts are made by the same people.

Yep. Me too. I also block the peeps who complain bitterly that Biden is X, Y, or Z and not dealing effectively with their Pet Peeve. Like, dude, the country is functioning, the economic is good, his opponent is insane, crooked, a criminal and a traitor. How can you do *anything* except vote blue?

Yep
