I mean...yeah...but also fuck the democrats. We shouldn't be stuck in this position of genocide and fascism there and here or "just" genocide and fascism there. There are certainly degrees of being a piece of shit, but at this point, we are splitting hairs.
"splitting hairs" could mean the difference between up to a couple million people dying, and potentially tens of millions of people or more dying. That's not splitting hairs at that point. That's not "po-tay-toe/po-tah-toe" anymore. Anyone arguing otherwise is either brainwashed or is arguing in bad faith.
Imagine thinking that there's no difference between one genocide and several, simultaneous genocides.
Bad faith? It is bad faith to find any genocide "acceptable," while simultaneously becoming angry at anyone pointing out that genocide is unacceptable. Seriously, what the actual fuck? This is white liberalism in its most concentrated lethal form. Ironically, it'll eventually lead to the genocides you don't find acceptable. If it wasn't for this shit mentality, we wouldn't be here.
So, what's your plan for the election? Not voting, sitting in a corner yelling "it's unacceptable!!!"?
Or voting the lesser of two evils and working to better the system?
The democratic parties of 1920s Germany also were full of racists, antisemites and union busters, but not voting or worse voting for the NSDAP only achieved one thing - the Nazis power grab.
So what's your plan?
Why are all of you so fucking illiterate? I am voting for Harris. I'm angry my choice is ANY genocide at all.
If you are voting for Harris then you must agree that both sides are indeed not "the same" which is the entire point of this post.
Boost for lemmy doesn't show profile pics and usernames all look the same so I might have overlooked where you said that. Also your comment I replied to reads like that wasn't the case. I apologize for the mix up, but still feel your hostility is unwarranted and will now disengage.
i swallowed my self-respect and did so for hillary and biden. never again. noway i am voting for these child butchers. in next elections they will just shuffle the tracks and will be again harassing us for “lesser evil”.
i will take the downvotes, they can all go to hell. ah well genocide enablers will go there anyway.
