I will edit this comment later because I'm about to hop on my bike. Please recall you called me a fascist first, and in my opinion, very unreasonably.
This is why I'm saying you're happy Trump won. This is functionally the same, because of first past the post voting system.
So, I will get back to your strange comments calling me a fascist because I dare be sad the democrats lost over Trump (if you're not, yeah, as a leftist, that's weird. When the choice is pretty right, and far right. There's only one logical choice).
I live in Australia, where at least I have preferential voting (unfortunately single member electorates, which trends towards two parties), but if you live in the US, there was only one rational choice as a leftist, and it was the bloody democrats.
Just have to get home from work, so hang tight.
copied and pasted from my last comment because I have zero remorse or sympathy so don't fucking complain to me about it. You're a fucking nazi and I'll continue saying it until you fucking recant.
End of fucking story. I don't want to hear you fucking raise this as a complaint again. You ARE a fucking nazi. Stop it.
Again and again you fucking fascists keep fucking lying about the democratic party being any different from the republicans. "pretty right" is committing a genocide. You're fucking delusional. Don't you see that? Don't you have any dissonance from advocating for real life fucking nazis in the peak of their crazed bloodthirst and turning around with a cynical fucking smirk and calling them anything but monsters? Of course not. You're a fucking nazi and words are just there for you to play with. You have no connection to the truth or to morality at all.
Yikes, I hope the weather is good there up on your moral high horse, where everyone who is a realist is a Nazi, where you prefer to do nothing over voting against a clearly worse candidate.
Calling Republican and Democratic policies the exact same is delusion.
I do not like or support the Democrats. They are supporting genocide in the middle east. No doubt about that.
I just think people, such as yourself, are deluded if you think not voting against Trump is somehow a logical decision, and makes you smart or morally superior. I hold those who had the chance to act to prevent Trump getting into power responsible for whatever more fucked up shit he does compared to the Democrats.
Again, luckily in my country, I don't need to tactically vote, but the people in the US do.
If they don't, they get Trump.
The actual Nazis are the ones who scapegoat groups of people as the cause of economic woes, crack down on "different" people, punish their political enemies, and make it even harder to vote them out. You can bet you ass that's going to become more now under this next administration.
You made the hard decisions that had to be made, huh? You did what needed to be done, right? You didn't have the luxury of morality, did ya?
I didn't make any decision at all, since I don't vote in US elections. But yeah, this is the trolley problem, and most people agree doing nothing to switch the track to the fewer people being affected is the worse option.
If you can point to an area where Kamala and the Democrats could be viewed as overall worse than Trump in a leftist's point of view, by all means, do tell.
If not, you're saying standing there and not switching the lever makes you righteous.
Which, in my opinion, is a stupid take.
Calling someon a Nazi for advocating pulling the lever, is an even more stupid take. You're high on your own righteousness.
Every time you confront someone on the right for the morality of their decisions they turn around and attack you for morality, casting it as a vice.
I don't think that's germane to the argument but I'll bite because there are plenty of examples. They deported as many migrants and asylum seekers as Trump did in their first two years in office. They were more aggressive building the wall than Trump was. They did more austerity than him. They did more carbon extraction.
You gave material support to someone committing a genocide. I care that words mean things.
