Nowhere in my explanation suggests that. If you knew how politics works, you’d understand that activism can encourage more people to vote. Hell, I suggested supporting 3rd parties. Can’t do that without voting.

Welcome to the reality of politics. Don’t like it? You have a few options: Get involved in activism, or run for office yourself by starting at the local level and work your way up. Want a formidable 3rd left-leaning party? Bolster the numbers of SPUSA, SPA, or any other ones that flew under the radar. We can also organize ways to kick the milquetoast centrists and moderate-right out of the democratic party. Hell, I wouldn’t be opposed to muddying the waters among Republicans since there’s already a lot of pushback regarding trumps choices for cabinet members and such.

Whining about every problems without finding solutions makes you sound immature and pathetic. If it really bothers you, action speaks louder than words. Do something about it.

To be candid, your last few comments on that post suggest whatever we discuss won’t be productive or worth the time.

Edit: wow, somehow those didn’t upload correctly. Let’s try that again

I’m so torn right now, debating on whether or not to uproot my life and move to the EU so I can get away from this insanity and watch the country burn from the sidelines, or stick around and see if enough of us can collectively get our asses in gear and steer this ship out of the shitstorm we’re now driving into.

Hey I remember you! You’re the one accusing me of inane shit and baselessly calling me a liberal like it was an insult. I was gonna side with you till I remembered your shitty attitude, now I can see why the mod didn’t like you.

Goddammit, well at least we didn’t elect Harris and more status quo liberals, right? Gotta stick it to the democrats with their shitty candidates /s

Pointing out uncommitted and 3rd party voters are just as much to blame for trump regaining office as liberal democrats are isn’t not the same thing as responding to “fuck nazis” with “fuck nazis and communists.” One is expressing an opinion which gives away your character while the other one points out the roles both groups made. You may not like it, but defaulting to not voting for either of the two parties in a 2-party system doesn’t make you innocent of the fact that the worst elect won in part because of a choice you and many others made. The lib politicians and leaders are assholes, but they were miles better than trump. But I guess you’re thinking otherwise with the way you throw “liberal” around like an insult to everyone you disagree with.

I’m afraid these guys are incapable of complex morale situations, not understanding how the lines are blurred in most situations. They just want everything to be good or bad, nothing in between.

Great, so you’re part of the problem just like the democrats are 👍

Having trouble reading my comment, buddy? I literally said “uncommitted and dems”. Both are trying to blame the other, when in reality both have played a hand. No one’s hands are clean in this

“Voting 3rd party or sitting out during the election basically cedes the election to one of two parties. We should at least choose the party that has a better chance to be swayed against genocide than the one who openly advocates for the genociders to ‘finish the job’”

“L1b3RaL!!1!a”

I’m not saying liberals are the smartest and most moral people, they definitely aren’t. But dismissing reality of the American political system and the almost certain likelihood of the US presidential election to vote for neither of the two main parties and expecting something good to come out of it is pretty telling to one’s critical thinking skills.

So allow the candidate to supercharge the extermination to win? That’s one helluva strategy. Certainly one way to try and shift the blame to one side when there’s plenty to go around for both dems and the uncommitted

wow you got mad! comparing me to trump really shows off your insecurities. are you actually trying to lead us to believe every American has a Caucasian background? Seriously? Because that’s exactly what you’re implying in the following statement:

Now, now. They made a distinction. It was just between the value of white lives and brown lives.

…in response to:

One mostly exports the genocide to the third world

The other wants to bring it home.

What else could this mean? Someone from a specific country doesn’t mean they have a specific skin color. Aren’t there other marginalized groups to consider? for instance, the LGBT groups that far-right wingers have been antagonizing here in the US? Maybe its just me, but LGBT groups aren’t defined by their skin color or race.

I’m fully aware I’m a piece of shit, but its only because its too easy to point out your oversimplified and flawed logic to get you ticked off for being unable to properly argue your point. man, its like its your first time on the internet.

Now, I will stand by my argument that what you said was reductive and at least a tad racist. Before you rage and reply back pointless insults and comparisons, do me a favor and send this comment chain to someone with a clear head.

Edit: actually, don’t bother. This was a good way for me to vent my frustrations on the internet after this shit election, but I’m tired now and do not have the energy to argue with child-like logic anymore. Some day, you’ll mature enough to understand how the world works. in the meantime, i’m just gonna ignore the next however many replies you need to send to feel better about yourself. sayonara!

do i really have to draw the lines between my responses and yours?

If I were you I would either recant my position or be VERY offended that I was accused with merit of being a white supremacist. You singled out as a distinction that the bad things would happen here. To people like you. Fairly explicit that should mean something more than the lives that aren’t yours.

This is interesting as you seemed to do some impressive mental gymnastics to claim i was a skinhead or something. i didn’t respond to it because I had no idea how my first comment suggested i was racist. and, knowing how you probably think, wanna use this rhetoric to somehow prove that I am

It was.

talking about your hasty conclusion to Regal’s claim which brings up 1st and 3rd world countries without mentioning skin color. that dude said absolutely nothing about race.

Just for context, you’re a white supremacist trump supporter type, right?

I already told you I’m not, and went into further detail into why, including bringing my own race into record since you seem to be quick to judge things based on race

If you don’t want to be talked down to, get out of the gutter.

and how does this respond to anything else in the parent comment other than the very last line, which seems to have touched a nerve?

so, as it seems you’re getting a bit heated, imma suggest you do what you told me to do earlier

Please take a step back, take a few breaths

nice comeback, think up that one yourself? since you didn’t really respond to the rest of my comment, i’m assuming you couldn’t reason yourself to a proper rebuttal.

never was. cant support the pos even before P2025 made the news. being pan and fucking lebanese, there’s virtually nothing about the guy that i would be willing to support, short of dying of stress and old age before he can take over again.

racism is present in all parts of the political spectrum, but I guess its hard to tell when you only see the world in black and white.

by the way, your elitist tone is pretty annoying

if that’s the only thing you noticed, then who’s the one being racist here?

What is there to be more coherent about? You boiled down that guy’s response to be about skin color

Of course, ignore all the rhetoric of trump and is ilk so you can call the other guy racist. That certainly seals the argument

How did you think this election was gonna go? You think there was still gonna be enough votes for Harris? Or that by some miracle a 3rd party candidate was gonna be elected?

People with your mindset are just as guilty as the dems are. No weasling out of this shitpile were now stuck in
