Nowhere in my explanation suggests that. If you knew how politics works, you'd understand that activism can encourage more people to vote. Hell, I suggested supporting 3rd parties. Can't do that without voting.

Welcome to the reality of politics. Don't like it? You have a few options: Get involved in activism, or run for office yourself by starting at the local level and work your way up. Want a formidable 3rd left-leaning party? Bolster the numbers of SPUSA, SPA, or any other ones that flew under the radar. We can also organize ways to kick the milquetoast centrists and moderate-right out of the democratic party. Hell, I wouldn't be opposed to muddying the waters among Republicans since there's already a lot of pushback regarding trumps choices for cabinet members and such.

Whining about every problems without finding solutions makes you sound immature and pathetic. If it really bothers you, action speaks louder than words. Do something about it.

To be candid, your last few comments on that post suggest whatever we discuss won't be productive or worth the time.

Edit: wow, somehow those didn't upload correctly. Let's try that again

I'm so torn right now, debating on whether or not to uproot my life and move to the EU so I can get away from this insanity and watch the country burn from the sidelines, or stick around and see if enough of us can collectively get our asses in gear and steer this ship out of the shitstorm we're now driving into.

Hey I remember you! You're the one accusing me of inane shit and baselessly calling me a liberal like it was an insult. I was gonna side with you till I remembered your shitty attitude, now I can see why the mod didn't like you.

Goddammit, well at least we didn't elect Harris and more status quo liberals, right? Gotta stick it to the democrats with their shitty candidates /s

Pointing out uncommitted and 3rd party voters are just as much to blame for trump regaining office as liberal democrats are isn't not the same thing as responding to "fuck nazis" with "fuck nazis and communists." One is expressing an opinion which gives away your character while the other one points out the roles both groups made. You may not like it, but defaulting to not voting for either of the two parties in a 2-party system doesn't make you innocent of the fact that the worst elect won in part because of a choice you and many others made. The lib politicians and leaders are assholes, but they were miles better than trump. But I guess you're thinking otherwise with the way you throw "liberal" around like an insult to everyone you disagree with.

I'm afraid these guys are incapable of complex morale situations, not understanding how the lines are blurred in most situations. They just want everything to be good or bad, nothing in between.

Great, so you're part of the problem just like the democrats are 👍

Having trouble reading my comment, buddy? I literally said "uncommitted and dems". Both are trying to blame the other, when in reality both have played a hand. No one's hands are clean in this

"Voting 3rd party or sitting out during the election basically cedes the election to one of two parties. We should at least choose the party that has a better chance to be swayed against genocide than the one who openly advocates for the genociders to 'finish the job'"

"L1b3RaL!!1!a"

I'm not saying liberals are the smartest and most moral people, they definitely aren't. But dismissing reality of the American political system and the almost certain likelihood of the US presidential election to vote for neither of the two main parties and expecting something good to come out of it is pretty telling to one's critical thinking skills.

So allow the candidate to supercharge the extermination to win? That's one helluva strategy. Certainly one way to try and shift the blame to one side when there's plenty to go around for both dems and the uncommitted
