Well then you did that poorly, because this was an accusation that I did not care enough and do not do enough when you did not actually know:
So maybe reflect on how pointing fingers and making assumptions is not the best way to build solidarity.
Come on, stop being so divisive. Why are you getting upset at a group of people who's actions directly contributed to empowering someone who put an anti vaxxer in charge of health, actively believes the greatest threat humanity has faced so far is a hoax and wants to strip your fellow citizens of rights. Can't you just be a bit more understanding of the fact that they felt icky?

Excuse me? Would you be understanding if you have spent a huge amount of your time fighting genocide and were accused of not caring or doing enough?
Even the person who said that to me realized it was wrong of them, but you want me to apologize for something?
I was hoping my juxtaposition of people feeling icky vs the literal fate of the planet would make it obvious that I was being sarcastic but I guess there are people who genuinely think this way. Otherwise we wouldn't be in the position we are now.
I apologize. I honestly cannot tell anymore.
Not your fault, it's honestly getting harder and harder to tell. I should learn my lesson and use sarcasm tags always.
Fair, I can understand how it came across that way - I didn't mean to blame anyone but the DNC for losing an election by not doing the one thing most of their voters wanted them to do.
