    The first-past-the-post voting system sucks; the resulting two-party system sucks; but right now we have to operate within it

    Only if you think voting is the extent of political action.

    The mathematics of that system entail the simple fact that if you discourage people from keeping Trump out, you are helping get Trump in

    And if you encourage getting Harris in, you are helping Harris get in, who has promised imperalism, genocide, World War 3, and failed Climate action.

    That makes you a Trump supporter.

    In 20 years you’ll look back at yourself, if leftists have managed to prevent the end of the world, as someone who supported a fascist regime and refused to lift a finger against it. I hope you’ll come to your senses much sooner than that.

        “Both sides are just as bad!” is the bullshit

        It’s not that they are identical, it’s that delineating between the Hitlerites and the Strasserites just isn’t very meaningful compared to the understanding that they are wings of the same monstrous entity that needs to be destroyed. You don’t even need to Obamas embracing Bush and saying “same values” to see that, but seeing that makes denial inexcusable.

        I am taking the moral route and telling you to abandon the genocidal empire, both parties are monstrous and we either need to vote them out or revolt.
