  • Look man. It’s pretty clear to most people here, that the majority of “leftists” on lemmy aren’t leftists, but MAGA trolls trying to divide the vote. The rest are young idealistic people that don’t quite know how shit works just yet. And Young idealistic people are easily persuaded if you can outrage them effectively.

    And that what has happened.

    So… no.

    You’re not going to move ground trying to convince people to vote here. The MAGA trolls aren’t going to budge, and the far-left accelerationists are salivating over watching America burn.

    As I’ve said a few times- best of luck. I’m not trying to stand in your way, but convincing people on lemmy? That’s a tremendous waste of time.

    Outside, in the real world?

    Fuck yeah! Canvas the shit out of everthing you can. You’re spinning your wheels thinking these people are going to change their minds.



  • Don’t mistake apathy for being a realist. There’s a famous old adage that’s usually in the form of an epitaph that goes:

    “As you are, I once was. As I am now, so too you shall be.”

    I have been around long enough to know that some people don’t want to change. And the far left idealists here on lemmy won’t be changed. I was exactly like them when I was in high-school. It’s how I know. They’re passionately ill-informed. Logic doesn’t change that.

    I wasn’t going to be told shit by anyone. And the more people pushed- the more I entrenched myself in my bullshit belief. And I didn’t change until I grew up and began to look into things for myself.

    You won’t get through to them. But I won’t advise you stop trying.
