    Because they had no point and deserve to be ridiculed. That thought process is precisely what got us here, and they decide to continue to double down.

    Of course Gaza would still be a humanitarian nightmare, but none of the other things happening right now would have been happening if Harris won, and if you can’t see that then you just should never vote again period.

      You’ve perfectly illustrated the original point. You’re essentially arguing: ‘This side is objectively less bad, so you must support them, and if you don’t, you’re the problem.’But that’s the very enablement they were talking about.

      The argument isn’t that “Harris vs. Trump is the same.” It’s that a system which only offers a ‘lesser evil’ every four years, while tolerating the growth of fascism and protecting oligarchic interests the rest of the time, is fundamentally broken. Demanding endless, un-critical support for the ‘lesser evil’ is what allows the whole cycle to continue. You’re proving their despair correct by saying the only permissible choice is to play a rigged game.

      humanitarian nightmare

      Genocide. The word is genocide. A genocide that doesn’t just spring up out of nowhere and kind of “happens”, but is actively being committed by Israel and the United States since October 8th 2023.
