however they are saying that if people do openly support a fascist dictatorship

As yes, openly supporting a fascist dictatorship by checks notes voting for someone else!

We traditionally show our open support for something by supporting something entirely different

You auth lefts are so smart

read that again.

openly support

do you need to tell anyone outside of the ballot sheet who you're voting for? you're free to vote however you choose. it's your right. just like you're free to walk down the street and call everyone you meet a "piece of shit". just don't be surprised when you talk shit and get hit.

that's the thing I've noticed about the conservative base. they crave to be oppressed by invisible means. it's a fetish at this point.

no one is oppressing you, but don't be surprised when people call you out on your bullshit.

You brought up the open support in response to someone pointing out saying "well remember how you voted" is fucking weird, seems you think voting or not is open support otherwise you're just bringing random points up

conservative base. they crave to be oppressed no one is oppressing you

Lol @ thinking I'm conservative, I just dislike the authoritarian bullshit in OP

but don't be surprised when people call you out on your bullshit

I'd rather people call me out on bullshit I did and not call voting one way or the other open support for someone I didn't vote for and say they'll "remember" it, that's kinda the point. The ominous threatening alongside defining things in your own way is what's making people uncomfortable here, should be obvious

This is all coming from someone who already voted for Harris, by the way. Id like it if you authoritarian wackos didn't scare people away

Take a breathe dude. I promise the combined weight of your words, mine and everyone else in this comment section are so small in comparison to the scale of this election that we won't sway it one way or the other, and you most certainly won't sway it yourself. Don't feel the weight of it dude. It won't help it'll just stress you out.

Your threats, promises or whatever you wanna call em aren't scaring anyone their just empty power fantasies. It's as easy to see through them as it is a Ziploc bag. Ain't a soul alive that's gonna remember who I voted for and treat me differently in real life for it. What's the point in fronting like that?

I'm not conservative. I'm a socialist. I'd love to execute all the billionaires and redistribute the wealth. I'd love to throw all the trumpers who really believe his distorted narrative of a reality into re-education camps (for their own good and I see nothing wrong with that.) I would love to nationalize all major industries. you can call me authoritarian but don't call me conservative. It's just incorrect.

I'm not in a swing state so because of how our electoral system works my vote will go to Kamala.... because my state is solid blue. So I'm voting third party in the hopes they get more than 5% of the vote and become eligible to receive public funding in the next round. is it likely to pan out soon or how I would like? Maybe,but probably not. But will it harm kamala's chances to win? No not at all. So relax, you don't have to make enemies of every single person who isn't acting exactly how you'd like them too.

Also sorry your old man threatened you alot or broke his promises alot. That was unclear but regardless shitty parents suck.
