~~164~~ 200+ comments? Did the dumbass libs find this post or are we having a struggle sesh about Greta?

predictions for if it's libs

More than one person thinking they're "as far left as they come" and therefore assume we must be Trump supporters if we hate Harris. Will result in some comment like "your boy Drump"
The trolley problem from a person who has already had it explained to them how it's not a trolley problem if they're both equally shit, just because they keep saying Harris' isn't as shit
The trolley problem again.
The trolley problem again.
Following these last few days, no libs will engage with the people pointing out how Harris is as bad as trump
"Voting for third party is wasted"
Voter fraud (By not voting for Harris I am voting for Trump, by not voting for Trump I am voting for Harris, letting me vote two times)
"The genocide would be worse!"
One person admitting by accident they are fine with palestinians being genocided
Just immense amounts of long-ago debunked propaganda

predictions for strugglesesh

"Revisionism"
More PPB deployed than if it had been libs (no way to know, but you can feel it if it happens)
She's hiding her power levels vs. she's not hiding her powerlevels
Devolving into another barely related struggle session
A bad joke about scandinavia
People talking past each other, one side focusing on what good she does, the other focusing on it not being at all enough to

edit:
It was the libs.
A little primer for triggered libs:

It's a welcome change, but she still isn't firm enough. To make her message more firm:

The first paragraph needs to be taken out. You can't say voting is pointless (true) while hyping up this election at the same time.
"There is no doubt that one of the candidates - Trump - is way more dangerous than the other." That's just her capitulating to lesser-evilers. Trump isn't "way more dangerous" than Harris at all outside of him being a shittier imperialist to the imperialist project. As Black revolutionary Imam Jamil Al-Amin said, "Evil is evil. There's nothing in between that."
"With this in mind, my main message to Americans is to remember that you cannot only settle for the least worst option." She needs to get rid of the "only."

To me, it looks like either her original message was a lot firmer but got watered down by one of her close associates who changed her mind/edited the message or she is personally conflicted and hasn't fully crossed the bridge to give up on lesser-evilism.

fidel-salute-big A label I hope she'll embrace if she ever gets called that.
