MODERATORS
Just tell me this first, would a casually fascist president really make you feel that much better than an overtly fascist one?
It’s something I’m really struggling to get my head round…cause I can’t believe how far right USA parties are compared to U.K. ones….and we are fucked.
“Just let me avoid answering your question and… “ No. They’re demonstrably not the same, as evidenced by you inability to answer the question. Also basic common sense.
No, I don’t think Harris would have ICE roaming the streets.
But then I don’t see the point in differentiating between casual and overt fascism. Both are way to the right of me.
I’ll ask again…are you ok with casual fascism?
Hey look, ICE NOT OPENLY ROAMING THE STREETS LOOKING FOR BROWN PEOPLE TO KIDNAP MAKES AMERICA A DEMONSTRABLY BETTER PLACE TO LIVE. The point of this post is “the parties are indistinguishable”, a laughably juvenile viewpoint.
You just said “the parties are not distinguishable”. I’m not interested in arguing any further, you’ve already proven your intellectual dishonesty in pursuit of your point.
I’m not saying America would be a bastion of global compassion and understanding under Harris, just that it wouldn’t be anywhere near the Nazi sympathizing shithole it is now.
Believe it not, there can be 2 bad things where1 is infinitely worse than the other - like say having your arm surgically removed versus being pulled apart by wild horses. If you were given the deciding vote between the two, you wouldn’t huff and say they were the same, you would be frantically advocating for the surgical removal.
Both suck but there’s a clear difference, but people like you have been saying “those are the same thing!!” When they clearly aren’t.
What you all MEAN to be saying is “there’s demonstrable differences I don’t care about”, which would at least be intellectually honest.
Got you here.
What you imply is that the competent neoliberals would do it secretly.
And that's why the neoliberals are more dangerous.
What you’re reading there is a way to inject sentiment into my statement that is not there to generate a win for yourself.
Be better.
Also, if you want to be real pedantic about it (and you do you little pedant), a secret Gestapo is pedantically better than an “out in the open one” due to secrecy limiting their reach and power. Kind of a “do you want to be shot in the head or be tortured to death” kind of convo where both endings suck, but we both know which you’d choose.
You prefer the secret gestapo, so you can brunch during genocide
Fucking liberals
The fact that you think that the most basic thing is a win is …fucking pathetic.
I don’t get how you don’t grasp the fact that the two parties look the same from where I, and even some USAians, are standing.
You know what, you’re absolutely right. It’s my fault for not single-handedly fixing the broken US 2 party system.
Shame on me for voting for the imperfect candidate rather than… not voting? Help me out here, I’ve lost track of exactly how I could have prevented this.
I shouldn’t be looking for wins where they can be found, I should be on the internet claiming a 34 time felon is the same as a prosecutor - clearly my country would be great if I just… help me out here again? You’re the genius.
You let the perfect be the enemy of the good to the detriment of all, if there’s anyone to pity sir, it’s you.
Are you ok?
You aren’t being attacked, I’m just asking you a question same as you did me.
You’ve got all the answers, please tell me what I could have done differently in the 2024 election, I’d love to hear it
Mate, you made a choice to vote between two right wing parties. I’m not sure why you’re attacking me, when the battle is 30 years (at least) before this discussion.
Because this over simplification stymies progress.
Yes, I know all the ways Harris was bad. But my choices were Harris and Trump, at least with Harris there was a chance of moving the needle. With Trump I’m fairly convinced free elections in America are over.
So when internet morons tell me Harris and Temu Hitler are indistinguishable, I take offense - it breeds complacency in an already hyper complacent population.
So how bad do things need to get?
Things are wank here, I mean in the EU, but they’re much worse in the USA…
So, how bad do they need to get?
Edit; do.
