If genocide isn't a red line for you then you don't have red lines. You will literally vote for rounding up trans people and gassing them as long as the opposing candidate wants to torture them before execution because "it's the lesser evil"

Apparently not voting in America is "voting for Trump", but it's "not voting for Harris".

One can only conclude that either:

  • Trump was the default in the voting ballot but nobody got told about it.
  • That "rationale" is a piece of political propaganda meant to exonerate the Democrat Party leadership from their unwillingness actually try and attract voters with actual policies that appeal to them in order to win against Trump, by blaming the very people they didn't even try to appeal to.

I'm curious if the "not voting in America is 'voting for Trump'" people ever thanked the non-voters for their support of Biden in 2020?

If "not voting in America is 'voting for Trump'", is true, then "not voting in 2020 America is 'voting for Biden'", right?

2024 wasnt about voting for Harris. It was about voting against Trump. If you didn't vote for Harris, then you didn't vote against trump.

I'll pose an interesting question:

is it more important to maintain your personal morality, or potentially break it to protect people in imminent danger?

This is exactly right. I frequently call these extremists right wingers because that’s basically what their attitudes amount to. They are right: liberalism leads to fascism. Capitalism is obviously a problem that needs abolishing. These are all things socialists believe because we’re socialists.

The problem is that harm reduction is no small thing. It’s not avoiding a scrape on the knee or having a pool instead of a hose. We’re talking about real human beings who are suffering, to paraphrase Chomsky. How privileged do you need to be to think it’s hardcore communists or nothing?
