Red Card/Blue Card and Voting Against Your Own Interests

[nOOky]

Why wouldn’t you have the most sympathy for just that type. They are pretty much the farthest gone. Isn’t it because you blame them and attribute their behavior to stupidity and moral inferiority? I bet they think you are the one who is morally inferior and they blame you for that. Yow do you prove you are superior to somebody else than the deep sense you are right and they are wrong exactly as they believe in reverse. What you share, I think, is a communality of blame. Each blames the other.

Blamers blame and that’s as far as they ever get because each side is ego defined by what they are for and against. In this way the ego is satisfied. I am the good guy and you are not. Is there any other form of self respect, like maybe there is something beyond within you that adheres to being genetically human?

That doesn't make any sense. Regardless it's not a belief system issue or morality. It's about political policy, and what the politicians we elect are supposed to do for the citizens of the country. It's not opinion that one party trying to make health care affordable and available to all is better for the country than the current broken system, or trying to keep people sick and unable to afford care. It's not that a leader is supposed to purposefully harm certain citizens and use his power for things the Constitution of the country does not agree with. It's not about religion, which is your strong suit and you think you're more moral because of it.

I'm sure this idea cant be the first time it's ever been floated, but it's the first time I've heard it. I have to say, I'm not opposed to it. Let everyone live THEIR vote.

Hopefully this video short from facebook will work correctly here. It's less than 2 mins.

Love it, but trouble is... how to make that happen? Red states will still be subsidized by blue states. A bunch of Trump voters will lose their health care and a bunch of those will go homeless.

It's almost the same thing, the difference being that it's not a full time job for me. I don't have to go find examples of the behavior I dislike and post them so like minded people will approve of me. I'll also admit that it is a bit small of me, but so many here are so righteous about their contempt I sometimes can't help but poke them.
The oddest thing about it all is that I don't hate the far left. I don't wish them ill and have no desire to see them harmed. That really is the fundamental difference between me and many of the posters here.

Small? I tend to agree but then, so am I. I love some small mindedness from time to time. Keeps me humbler than otherwise and I share a contempt of contempt. But I could also call nasty liberals and their love of circle-jerking a reaction to irrational chaos created by people intent on self destruction.

So I could have responded to this thread by saying, “conservatives fucked themselves in trying to punish others sure enough but you who blame them, conservatives, are not really better, your contempt for them also disgusting.”

There is nothing like the joy of punishing those that don't support your political beliefs. The smug superiority that comes from knowing how much better we are than those other stupid people.
Hurting them is actually doing them a favor. If we hurt them enough they'll eventually understand that doing what their betters tell them is the proper way to live.

They punished themselves by voting for the policies that are hurting them. Holy shit you're dense.

You punished the very stupid people by being condescending to them over the internet for years while they said they hated you. Their voting to hurt themselves through their elected officials is just them being classic conservative victims. Biggest victims on the planet, just ask one.
