Note how they did NOT state who to vote for though, so actually, no you are wrong
They just want to agitate for fascism. Below they admit that they don't see Trump as any exceptional threat and that the US is already fascist.
Why they think voting matters at all in a fascist state, I'm not sure, but it's probably completely logically consistent will all of their claims. /s
How do people like this exist
Maybe my claims seem logically inconsistent to you because you are deliberately misrepresenting them to be so.
Weird how you have never once responded to any of the evidence I use to support the idea that the US is already very fascist.
No comment on slavery, concentration camps... here's another one: perpetual war, militarized police, voter suppression?
What word would you use to describe a political system that has legalized slavery embedded in its constitution?
Reading comprehension reveals that this commenter wants people to vote for Biden.
Because they said not to vote for Nazis? Wow, big points for the red team over here
"Don't vote for fascists" is browbeating people, and mean, and besides Both Sides(tm), and nothing will change under a Trump administration, you're all just scare mongering.
You know, the classic, hitting every cheap dogwhistle they can.
I am in pain after reading this. Thanks PugJesus
Yes, that is their argument. Vote for Biden or else Nazi-Trump. And my comment was about how that argument is being recieved. Glad you've caught up.
Ok, so when are you going to catch up to the last 20 uears of politics?
Don't know what you're trying to do here. Saying this isn't going to change the fact that the brow-beating rhetoric is alienating young and left-leaning voters.
Maybe if those voters were more scared of societal collapse than scary words we wouldn't be in this situation.
It's a real concern, but what do we do? Not point out what's happening?
Don't lie, don't be act aloof towards people you think are on your side, and don't call people Trump sympathizers for having criticisms of Biden. There are people trying to downplay the ongoing harms going on under the Biden administration, and in general under the United States government. Be honest about strategy, and join in on demands that Democrats do better whether or not you plan to vote Biden. Maybe call for a better candidate.
edit: and downvotes for advocating honesty. I'd pretend I were surprised but that would be hypocritical and unbelievable.
(those weren't from me)
Reasonable, tbh.
Thanks for hearing me out
Of course! I'd hate for this site to become like all the others.
