I'm fed up with Lemmy constantly contradicting itself when talking about US politics

  • voting is useless and ineffective
  • voting was useful and effective for Trump getting into office
  • most Americans hate trump
  • most Americans voted for Trump (well ok no but we're also counting the people who didn't vote as voting for Trump)
  • Americans should do something!
  • The Americans doing something aren't doing it right, they should do a violence!
  • Americans are so violent omg
  • Americans should do a general strike!
  • does not talk about or signal boost the general strike
  • All Americans deserve what's happening to them!
  • Oh no these poor Americans getting shot and kidnapped!
  • other countries should do something!
  • it's America's mess they should be the one who clean it up!
  • the opposition should be united!
  • fuck Democrats, liberals, and anyone who isn't my specific level of left, no compromise for getting anyone into office!
  • vote the Republicans out!
  • but fuck Democrats don't vote for them!
  • but also fuck third party voting is useless anyway!
  • This is Donald Trump's fault!
  • actually we're going to blame Democrats though

Like, I get that it's different people, but I never see anyone calling this out. I think the worst is people who say we should be united and then actively do things to divide people.

It's this seriously the best we can do? It just feels like people can't get their shit together. I'm tired of my own side being more willing to fight each other than the GOP.
