@ColoBenji @DannyManus see a productive and subsense based conversation. :) Good chat.

[Micky Tyne MD @Micky_Tyne]

@ColoBenji @DannyManus war, or policies that harmed innocent people. So maybe we should be slower to judge each other, more willing to examine our own role in the system, take some responsibility, and approach this with a little more compassion. Which goes back to tribalism vs communicating.

[Micky Tyne MD @Micky_Tyne]

@ColoBenji @DannyManus My broader point, even if my original tweet came off harshly, is that people get furious about not voting without seriously questioning what voting has produced over the last 30 years. If we’ve participated in elections, most of us have supported candidates tied to violence

[Micky Tyne MD @Micky_Tyne]

@ColoBenji @DannyManus I think that's part of it. I also think people become psychologically invested in being right. Once they've tied their identity to a party or movement, admitting mistakes feels like admitting something is wrong with them personally. So instead of questioning, they rationalize it.

[Micky Tyne MD @Micky_Tyne]

@DannyManus because your directly responsible for all the people dying and just pretend like its NBD cuz you did it. 2026 is partly the result of 2010. If we're unwilling to examine how our past choices contributed to the present, how are we supposed to learn anything? Why did Trump win?

[Micky Tyne MD @Micky_Tyne]

@ColoBenji @DannyManus Where are all the Obama ’08 and Obama ’12 voters apologizing for the bloodshed in the Middle East? He ran as the peace candidate, then governed like the opposite. They voted for him again anyway and now lecture everyone else with zero self awareness or taking any responsibility.

[Micky Tyne MD @Micky_Tyne]

@ColoBenji @DannyManus It's with the assumption that changing labels or parties necessarily changes the underlying dynamic of people justifying things they would otherwise oppose because it's their side doing it.

[Micky Tyne MD @Micky_Tyne]

@ColoBenji @DannyManus I'm constantly told that not voting makes me responsible for what happens. Okay. Then are voters willing to take responsibility for what happens when their candidates get into office? Or does responsibility only flow one way?

[Micky Tyne MD @Micky_Tyne]

@ColoBenji @DannyManus Also, By ur logic, everyone who voted for Obama owns Obama's wars, everyone who voted for Bush owns Iraq, everyone who voted for Trump owns his wars, & everyone who voted for Biden owns his. Do you actually believe that? Or do u only apply that standard to people who don't vote?

[Micky Tyne MD @Micky_Tyne]

@DannyManus U voted for Obama after he ran on peace! He expanded the drone war, bombed multiple countries, & normalized the exact war machine logic u now condemn. So spare me the moral superiority. Did u feel guilty for the dead women & children? Nope u voted for him again, At least u voted!

[Micky Tyne MD @Micky_Tyne]

@DannyManus You may say Romney would have been worse, but of course you don't know that because nobody knows that because we cant predict the future. If we keep justifying "evil" we'll continue to have it...

[Micky Tyne MD @Micky_Tyne]

@DannyManus We're told those things were unfortunate necessities. Why is one moral compromise treated as obviously wrong while the other is treated as mature and responsible? Go ahead and justify for me voting for Obama who lied, expanded wars and got millions slaughtered.

[Micky Tyne MD @Micky_Tyne]

@DannyManus Obama he wasn't a departure from George W Bush, just his skin color, he was a continuation of Bush. He took us from two wars to seven, he gave us a right wing healthcare plan that came out of the Heritage Foundation, the same people who gave us Project 2025...

[Micky Tyne MD @Micky_Tyne]

@DannyManus At some point it's fair to ask whether that cycle itself is part of the problem. Obama in ’08 ran on peace, ending wars, closing Gitmo & restoring civil liberties. He expanded wars & regime change disasters that got millions slaughtered. & you knowingly voted for that in 2012...

[Micky Tyne MD @Micky_Tyne]

@Draven1683 Why'd we get a reality star in the first place do you think? Have you ever thought of that?
