I will keep on shitposting on the “both sides bad” clowns that pop up like mushrooms every late election cycle, until they do something useful, thank you for asking!
We’re here all the time, you just only notice when CNN reminds you to go vote every two years
Well don’t let me stop you from supporting diet maga then, I’m sure the world will improve immensely with your corporate funded genocide supporters in charge…
awshit, you’re doing the thing!
Hey, aren’t you the guy who just called me a fascist enabler for not voting Kamala? Ohhh the irony
The difference is that voting for corporate democrats is harm reduction and abstaining is leaving room for the unabashed fascists.
corporate democrats are going to the media wing of the fascists to attack leftists but apparently the leftists are the fascists enablers
Voting for corporate Democrats is making room for worse fascists in the future, abstaining is forcing corporate Democrats to start representing their constituents
^ something that should have been understood decades ago, and you still don’t understand today
No it doesn’t. You have a two party system which makes things much more complicated.
Its just not that easy if your activism is reduced to “not voting” than it is completely meaningless.
Hey, that doesn’t actually work because they don’t give a shit. You aren’t “teaching the establishment a lesson” because they don’t actually need your vote to enrich themselves. Meanwhile the Overton window steadily slides to the right.
But maybe when the opposition is trump you should avoid to abstain?
Harm reduction is when you further entrench genocidal fascist oligarchs <- you
voting is not harm reduction
Yup, that the nuance is lost on you is expected. Have the day you voted for!
Well, I didn’t vote, so the only one having the day they voted for is you :)

Missing out on nuance from the guy who outright dismissed someone’s entire argument not via logic but via the political views implied by their Lemmy instance. Riiiight.
That’s a good attempt at a savage little quip, but as someone who can actually write those, I’ll give you some advice. You can’t just say “no u” while alluding to some vague nuance like a teenage girl alludes to her breakup in a Facebook post. You have to actually attack me intellectually, before insulting me intellectually. Kind of like what I did to you, see? For example, your comment would have been more effective if you said something like:
“I can dismiss someone’s opinion without thinking they’re MAGA. Maybe you’ll figure out that nuance eventually”.
See why that’s better? First you attack a weak point in my post, THEN you imply I’m stupid. The way you did it, it looks like you don’t really know how to defend yourself but felt mad enough to try and fail anyways. It is a tricky nuance, but you’ll get there, maybe.

If the opinion of me and those like me can be dismissed, why are you so obsessed with it? Why do you worry so much?
TIL “Rights for Trans people” is diet “No Rights for Trans people”, and it makes no difference to real people since both sides same.
Care to favor us with some more political insights, Rousseau?
Ah yes trans people, famously a group Kamala ran on protecting. As she said, when asked about their persecution: “They should follow the law” and as she concluded when she lost “too much woke identity politics”. What a bulwark! And what a record she has of protecting trans people! Yes she would certainly have protected trans people from persecution, that much is clear from all she said and did.

Nice whataboutism you got there. Care to stay on topic and stop deflecting?
The topic was whether Harris was the lesser of two evils or not. The person I was replying to was arguing not. Care to weigh in?
As a trans person living under a far-right government, you should go fuck yourself if you support the Democratic party.
Well, I personally only know a few trans girlies and Men in America, who unitedly don’t love:

As new government policy.
I don’t know you, but I do know my friends! On their behalf, I invite you to shut the fuck up and fight against the Republican party that EXPLICITLY WANTS TO KILL TRANS PEOPLE AS A PLATFORM
You probably know this but those espousing both sides this late in the game are right-wing extremists posing as leftists. There really is no explanation, for their entire shtick only enables the worse party. Don’t fall for the bait of tankies, for they love love love their one-party authoritarian regimes.
the only people browbeating leftists to vote for their preferred color of genocidal warmonger are right wing extremists posing as leftists.
Just a fact that Democrats are better on every issue, including genocide.
2 Greater Genocides > 1 Lesser Genocide.
Just math.
(Also, both genocidal perpetrators Netanyahu and Putin sought Trump’s victory. Let’s not make it easier for them!)
so you think palestinians are lesser, got it.
srry your tribe is not credibly better on genocide than the other guys. implying that i’m a nazi is classic projection on your part tho
