No. It takes a truly shallow mind to come to this conclusion. Most of us Democrats understand how politics work and knew it was Trump or Harris once Biden stepped down. That's it, no third option. Only a true idiot or a Trump supporter (same thing) would think not voting, voting this party, it voting for Trump was in anyway better for Israel, Ukraine, and America.
So were you gaslighting yourselves about Biden's mental health or the rest of us?
Biden > Trump, bad mental health or not.
Exactly.
Not really. If your focus is beyond the next 4 years, you can argue letting Democrats lose is the best strategy to stop wars on the planet down the line.
In fact if Kamala was going to loose either way (as it happened) it's a good thing that she lost hard.
You can argue that. It is a stupid argument, but you can argue it.
Anyone who makes that argument has no idea how bad things can get and how fast.
but in the long term there's always a swing back the other way
Right. Germany got it's act together...
...AFTER THE DEATH CAMPS.
......after a couple of generations, with many years of misery.
There is at least one camp right now where genocide is happening and the Democrats are supporting and paying for it.
But not the Republicans? Their hands are somehow clean?
I never said that, although Democrats are the ones still in power. My point was that both sides are blind.
Congress is mostly Republicans.
Or did you think that the presidency was the only thing that mattered in the US?
No, do you think it somehow doesn't matter? It was pretty mixed before Kamala decided to become a Republican.
Yes?
So if the camps were happening either way, better not to vote for the guy that says "vote me and the camps will have regulations in regard to human experimentation!" and strictly go for "fuck that shit".
I get people still being affected by the election topics, but it's not now.
Accelerationist arguments always show that the speaker isn't nearly as smart as they think they are.
Because accelerationist arguments are always wrong.
