You have to be american to believe this because for others, dems and reps are like 99% hitler and 99.5% hitler
That's exactly what the meme says!
Did you know that 99.5 > 99?
So you're saying you'd vote for Hitler?
Hey, I know you have trouble with reading comprehension from the other thread, so why don't you try that one again.
Maybe loosen your cap, too. Improve blood flow to the brain.
Answer: you're literally the meme in the OP.
True, you'd wouldn't vote, and you'd throw anyone that did in the gulag. Dear Leader Kim/Xi/Stalin doesn't need votes.
Nice assumption but I live in the imperial core.
Also, I dunno if you know this, but America has more people in prison for non violent crimes than all of those countries, lmao.
Oh. Well then it turns out you would vote for Hitler!
Or more likely, you'd just stand by and let Hitler take power, and spend your time protecting him against those willing to fight back.
Hitler got into power because a bunch of people voted for "the lesser evil", who then handed Hitler the reigns. Do you not know history?
Yes. Hitler was the new non-political guy with great ideas. He made a great alternative to the tired old "lesser evils".
??? No??? Hitler got appointed chancellor by Hindenburg, with the support of a nominally centre-left coalition, specifically arguing that this is how it had to be just this one election, because it was the most important election of their lifetime.
Hitler was not seen as a lesser evil, he was seen more less as Trump was - a populist demagogue. And, just like Trump, he was handed the reigns to power by a bunch of liberals talking about "the lesser" evil.
Yes, that's what I said. Hitler was not seen as the lesser evil, he was seen as the alternative to the lesser evil. And he was put into power by a center right/monarchist coalition, because he was seen as better than just continuing to vote for the lesser evil.
Man, it's funny that you're telling people to stop voting for the lesser evil. Are you saying that given the option you'd rather vote for hitler?
That's not what I'm saying. Hitler was not seen as "the alternative" to the lesser evil, just as Trump is not seen as "the alternative" to the lesser evil - by the left.
Hitler was perceived, by the left, as a populist demagogue that needed to be fought, just like Trump is. The liberal centrists and conservatives were perceived as "the lesser evil" and "the only viable option." Voting for these parties was what ended up giving Hitler power, since these "lesser evil" parties did nothing to oppose Hitler and in fact handed him the reigns to power, just like the democrats have done with the republicans.
Had I lived in the Weimar republic then I would have voted for the only party that actually opposed Hitler - the KPD.
I see. So instead, we should bypass the democrats and just give the power directly to trump. Who you are comparing to hitler.
Sounds like you'd have voted for Hitler, dude. Or at the very least, happily provided the spoiler vote that ended up giving him power.
I get it, 30% of any given population is authoritarian. It's comforting to give your decisions to daddy ~~hitler~~ trump.
...are you seriously saying that voting against trump doesn't oppose trump? And letting him win does?
I don't mean to be insulting, this is a genuine question: are you stupid?
It's always these people with brainless, generic, middle of the road views dragging out brainless, generic, middle of the road insults. Shit like "Somewhere out there, there's a tree that's sole purpose is to replace the oxygen you waste. Go find it and apologize." They need generic insults, because a custom insult would require the ability to think situationally.
I do sometimes get tilted in an online debate, but with people like that all I can do is laugh. It's like the teenager who thinks "I am what I eat" is an epic comeback to being called a pussy. Its not bro, its really not...
Yeah, its sad
its not what the meme says
it says dems are 5% hitler and reps are 99.5% hitler, completely false.
I still don’t even fully agree with this.
Democrats will give lip service about healthcare when they have no chance of passing it, then when they do, 20% of them will fuss over details, dooming it. But they won’t actively rail against healthcare measures or vote largely in favor of corporate-driven DOD spending packages.
Most of their fault is in choosing not to fight Republican measures as hard as they can.
They could have passed it, Democrats chose not to. Likewise with minimum wage, and much more.
(look up the nuclear option. They never, ever need a super majority to pass a bill. Ever. It's a parliamentary rule ONLY)
Your comment was edited, so I'll address this sentence only. Democrats choose to accept money from "donators", and in return they purposefully decide, by not challenging parliamentary procedure (which they do often otherwise), to let a bill die. Like, for example, minimum wage increase under Biden.
His platform. They didn't even pretend to fight. And by "fight" I mean change a parliamentary rule by majority vote to pass a bill.
Oh, okay.
Did you know that 99 < 99.5?
Did you know that voting for 99% Hitler over 99.5% Hitler still makes you a fucking Nazi?
Yup!
Did you know 99 < 99.5? Cause it kinda feels like you don't.
I do know that, Nazi.
I just don't give a single angstrom of a fuck why you think it's worth supporting 99% Hitler over 99.5% Hitler. Because I'm not a Nazi, so I don't care how pure the Hitler particles in the puppet of the bourgeoisie I have to see on Television are.
So you're in favor of 99.5% Hitler, gotcha. Mr. Not a nazi.
I think youre confused as to how voting works. You vote for someone. This means when you don't vote for a candidate, that means they don't get your vote! Pretty neat, right?
Understanding this requires more than a fifth grade social studies understanding of American politics. It also requires actually paying attention instead of just parroting vibes from YouTubers and Cable News, so you know that Blue MAGA will never understand.
I am committing election fraud by not voting for republicans 10.000 times. I am only not voting for democrats 5.000 times, which means in totality I have handed democrats 5.000 votes.
However I am not not voting for them in a swing state, so it doesn't really matter anyway
