    I refuse to even consider feeling bad for somebody if they voted for exactly what they got.

    so if that information won’t be provided, I will hold out judgement and ignore the article

        • He’s a wrong entitled brat whose depth of critical thinking is circlejerking around a failed 2 party system, in which both parties are pro capitalists and want private healthcare.

        why should that person be having empathy for some conservative pos who voted to defund healthcare specifically so he could vote against LGBT rights and against women’s rights? this guy could be a cool dude, but he may not be. I need not have sympathy for my enemies.

        it means I am focusing my energy on things that are known to be worthwhile, or at least more likely to be

        a >50% chance that the person in question is an asshole and undeserving of any sympathy means playing the odds

        people get respect when they demonstrate they deserve it

      Assuming you voted for fascist-light party, you also voted for this… These issues predate Trump and are fully supported by the “we are capitalists” party.

        the people who vote facist light may be perfectly willing to vote harder left if the overton window were shifted… but it’s not shifting… because of many many assholes… and since there are so many assholes, why have sympathy without context?
