Enough Musk Spam
For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.
No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.
Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.
Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.
Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.

I guess you'll just have to vote harder champ! I'm sure if you can just convince everyone to vote harder enough, this time, bloviating about how smart you need to be to engage in "strategic voting", even when that strategy has been demonstrated to fail, it'll be different this time! Its not you or the Democrats that need to change. No. It could never be that.
Any time now. Any time.
The fact you're so defensive about this speaks volumes. Your condescension doesn't change the fact: 90 million people didn't vote. We could have prevented this, easily, but they couldn't be bothered...
I can repeat it, but I can't understand it for you. We had 2 separate candidates. I'm sorry neither swept us off our feet, when everyone warned what was coming. Perfect? Of course not, but still better than the fascism and corruption we're witnessing as they tear our country and alliances apart...
The only thing you seem interested in repeating is the loss in 2024.
You left 6 million votes on the table thinking you know your ass from a hole in the ground when it comes to strategic voting. You approach to strategic voting took the entire country backwards, and you your brain is too covered in neoliberal earwax to figure out that Democrats did this to themselves and no-amount of strategic voting on the behalf of NYT subscribers is going to convince people to ignore the evidence of their eyes, ears, and lived experience.
Everything you've outlined here, its precisely what lost the Democrats the 2024 election. I get that its levels beyond you: but figure it out. You aren't arguing with me. You are arguing with the 6 million people who found the gaslighting un-convicing; who found the shift to the right unpalatable, who found a pro-genocide candidate candidate acceptable: and your answer is "get over it".
How many votes did you gather to the cause with this alleged "strategy" in terms of voting? Because the evidence shows that you lost almost 10% of previously Democratic voters with this approach to electoralism.
