Because they had no point and deserve to be ridiculed. That thought process is precisely what got us here, and they decide to continue to double down.
Of course Gaza would still be a humanitarian nightmare, but none of the other things happening right now would have been happening if Harris won, and if you can't see that then you just should never vote again period.
Genocide. The word is genocide. A genocide that doesn't just spring up out of nowhere and kind of "happens", but is actively being committed by Israel and the United States since October 8th 2023.
You've perfectly illustrated the original point. You’re essentially arguing: ‘This side is objectively less bad, so you must support them, and if you don’t, you’re the problem.’But that's the very enablement they were talking about.
The argument isn't that "Harris vs. Trump is the same." It's that a system which only offers a 'lesser evil' every four years, while tolerating the growth of fascism and protecting oligarchic interests the rest of the time, is fundamentally broken. Demanding endless, un-critical support for the 'lesser evil' is what allows the whole cycle to continue. You're proving their despair correct by saying the only permissible choice is to play a rigged game.
Thanks for the straw man and for tirelessly advocating that people don't vote. It definitely helps and is definitely not a Nazi thing to do, it's super LEFTIST.
Your straw man is a misread. The critique isn't "don't vote!" It's that voting in a rigged system isn't enough.
The "lesser evil" argument you defended is exactly what enables the cycle. Fascism grows when politics is reduced to choosing between harm and complicity. For what it's worth me pointing that out isn't pro-Nazi, it’s the basic leftist critique of a broken system. Real change requires power built outside it, not just a ballot every four years.
If that was the message, no one would be flooding your inbox. But it wasn't. It was DEMOCRAT EVIL.
You're the only one "flooding" my inbox and you're free to stop anytime.
But let's be clear: you're not arguing against a point anymore, you're just policing packaging. If you reduce "the system is broken and voting isn't enough" to "DEMOCRAT EVIL," that's a failure of your own comprehension not the message or mine. When you’re ready to engage with the substance instead of your own caricature, you know where to find the thread.
Until then, enjoy the view from that very high horse.
"the brown people would still be dying, but who cares"
-- the regular Dem
It's weird that you are unwilling to see that Trump is worse than harris. It's like the difference between losing a finger and losing a hand. Yes both are bad but surely you can see that one is worse?
It's also weird that you would characterize the other comments so dishonestly. Like that's not snark it's just bullshit.
There are only 2 scenarios with these people. Either they are chaos agents and trying to cause division or they are purists that don’t understand nuance and refuse to understand how the world works.
How is he worse?
Let me paraphrase, how are the Dems not fascists?
That's not paraphrasing, thats an entirely different question.
Now who's building a strawman.
