    So are you picking Harris not because she will not do the same things but because she would do the same things but in a slower fashion and also just to show that we have no other options?

    not sure that would classify as a democracy are you trying to enforce the elite’s false dichotomy?

        “Vote Harris for a slower genocide” isn’t going to win you Michigan.

          The alternative is “Don’t vote Harris and get a genocide here.”

                No, they won’t. Because there’s not going to be any genocide in Michigan. You’re delusional.

                You’re fearmongering about a hypothetical genocide in order to distract from a very real, very current genocide, and that is contemptible.

                The term “genocide” was invented by survivors of the Holocaust to be a klaxon call. The idea was that this crime needed a unique, distinct name so that when people heard it, they’d know to drop everything and intervene.

                It wasn’t invented to be used in political propaganda. When you abuse the term, you undermine its usefulness. You undermine its purpose.

                  No, like, I’m not. Literally or implicitly.

                  If I wanted to vote for Trump, I’d vote for my Trump. Which by the way, I have every single right to do, as an American citizen.

                  But I’m not voting for him. I’m voting for Jill Stein. I respect your right to vote for whoever you want to, please respect mine.

              Nah, I did just post a libertarian article. And libertarians in effect would take votes AWAY from trump. https://lemmy.world/post/18907042

              That doesn’t really fit the narrative that a lot of Lemmys seem to want for me though. lol

                  No, I don’t believe in it. I was using the argument that you all throw at me every single day. :) And I find it hilarious that you all think it’s ok, when it happens to the Republicans, just not when it happens to YOUR party. lol

                    So you were using an argument you don’t even believe just to try and win an argument because you can’t defend your real position? That’s incredibly bad faith.

                    when it happens to the Republicans, just not when it happens to YOUR party

                    Yes, literally anything that breaks voters from the Republican party is good, and everything that breaks voters away from Democrats is bad. That’s because the Republicans are full of fascists hell bent on destroying American democracy, and the Democrats are the only credible thing standing against them.
