While rebutting another post here on Lemmy, I ran into this. This says exactly what I want to say.

I am not a friend of Biden’s Administration. I think they drug their feet over a variety of things ranging from holding Trump and his goons accountable for January 6th through rulemaking on issues like OTC Birth Control and abortion rights, and yes, I think he’s too quick to please big business. But then I remember what the alternative is, and … well, disappointed in Biden or not, I’m voting for him. Because my wife is a Black bisexual goth woman, four strikes under Team Pepe’s tent. And I have my own strikes for marrying her as a White dude, and respecting her right to not have kids since she doesn’t want them is another strike against me. And I care about my Non-Christian, Gay, Transgender, and Minority friends, and will never willingly subject them to Team Pepe.

    Exactly.

    Imagine if Coca-Cola tried to shame or guilt people into buying Coca-Cola.

    How would that work out.

    The guilt tripping and shaming is going to backfire.

    To win, you have to inspire people to actually want to vote for you.

    Otherwise, they just might not even bother showing up.

      Imagine if Coca-Cola tried to shame or guilt people into buying Coca-Cola.

      Now imagine there are only 2 possible choices and Pepsi is going to further reduce the control the women in your life have over their own bodies, and other fucked up shit.

          It was a shit analogy given the vast options for soda and the whole 2 options we have for president. Grow up.
