The press must get across to American citizens the crucial importance of this election and the dangers of a Trump win. They don’t need to surrender their journalistic independence to do so or be “in the tank” for Biden or anyone else.

It’s now clearer than ever that Trump, if elected, will use the federal government to go after his political rivals and critics, even deploying the military toward that end. His allies are hatching plans to invoke the Insurrection Act on day one.

    Jesus Christ this is stupid.

    If purity-test people like you would actually fucking vote for change, we could actually enact meaningful change.

    Instead, we will never have enough left-leaning politicians to enact any sort of progressive agenda because of braindead voters like you who refuse to vote because the lesser of two evils isn’t perfect. And we get stuck in this 51/49 deadlock where nothing good ever happens.

    Imagine being so stupid that you’d support the greater of two evils simply because you weren’t a fan of the lesser of two evils. Imagine this: You have to eat either a pile of dogshit with a small piece of corn in it, or a pile of corn with a small piece of shit in it. But you get to choose. And you say “ehhhh I don’t like corn so I won’t choose.” How stupid can one be???

    I don’t care how badly you or I want Bernie, or AOC, or whoever to be the next president. IT ISN’T HAPPENING. So do everybody a favor and fucking vote for the candidate who is BETTER.

    If there are two evils to choose from, and you get a choice, CHOOSE THE FUCKING LESSER EVIL.

        I don’t even know what point you’re trying to make, other than that you are very angry and want to blame someone for that. Hopefully channel that anger into something productive, like pressing your representatives to support better candidates. And actually voting for the better candidate instead of sitting back and helping the greater of two evils win.

          This tracks. It didnt come out of the mouth of your party leader, so you dont even try to understand it. We get it.

        I think what rubs me the most about these morons is how high and mighty they fancy themselves as they support evil.

        And they are so delusional that they dont refute it anymore, it is just a never ending circle of this:

        “I am the good guy, I am voting for the lesser evil”.

        But you just said you are voting for evil.

        “Yes, but its the LESSER evil.”

        So you are claiming to be good by supporting evil.

        “Yes, the LESSER evil.”

        You realize that doesnt mean you are good. That means you are LESSER EVIL. I wont be lesser evil. I wont be any evil. Stop being evil and trying to bully me into being evil.

        “No, I’m good, because I vote for LESSER evil. You are the one that is bad, you wont vote for evil.”

        So not voting for evil makes me bad and voting for evil makes you good?

        “THE LESSER EVIL.”

        Rolls eyes


        They are conditioned sociopaths that have lost the difference between right and wrong decades ago but keep running their mouths and supporting monsters.

        All I see is a person who sees two possibilities, recognizes that one is worse than the other, and then actively works to make the worse one happen. You have no grounding upon which to call anybody else evil.

          From my perspective, this entire thread is a group of people trying to bully me into voting for genocide, and me insisting that genocide is never acceptable. Never something it is okay to vote for.

          It sounds like your perspective is that genocide is cool and you can totally support it, guilt free, as long as you truly believe that the other person’s hypothetical actions will be worse.

          I double down, if genocide is a “lesser evil” that you can swallow, you are fucking evil.

            Yeah… being called evil by someone who supports Trump isn’t impressing me.

              Keep doing it.

              Keep calling me a Trump supporter because I don’t support Biden, despite me clearly stating repeatedly that I support neither.

              Keep being a fascist saying “He DoEsNt SuPpOrT mY cOlOr sO hE sUpPoRtS tHe OtHeR cOlOr.”

              You’re really just highlighting what the Democrat party has become as a result of voting for evil for decades. Evil as well.

                I will.

                I’ll keeping calling you a Trump supporter while you continue to defend yourself supporting him.
                You’re a Trump supporter because your actions support Trump. I’m not impressed when you say you “don’t like either” but you act in a way that helps Trump win.

                Your stupid purity contest that lets you lie to yourself that you’re morally superior than everyone else actually has the effect of helping Trump. This has been explained to you logically several times, by several people, in several different ways in this thread, but instead of having an honest conversation you’ve decided to entrench yourself deeper and deeper, until the only argument you have left is to lash out and make ludicrous personal attacks.

                It’s dishonest and pathetic.
