Some examples for those reading:

"Both Sides Threaten Democracy"

"Biden Is Just As Bad As Trump"

"Even the libs have accepted at this point Biden can’t even do worse than Trump when it comes to supporting this Genocide. As Biden is 100% all in on Genociding every last Palestinian."

"Fuck Biden and Fuck Trump. At this point Biden full well knows the Genocide he’s in for. He seems to care more about flattening Rafah than “saving American Democracy”. The libs thinking they can shame people into voting for Genocide are the reason Biden thinks he can keep doing this."

"Both parties are the same on Israel. But democrats will throw in a little lip service here and there, mild fake condemnation."

"Candidate 2: I’m going to give guns and money to the person killing ponies but tell them they shouldn’t do it. Leftist: Either way ponies are going to be killed. Let’s try something different. Centrist: Noooo, you have to vote for the proxy pony killer who can’t use his position to do anything or else you’ll get a pony killer in power who’ll use his position to do everything."

Relevant wikipedia page:

Sealioning (also sea-lioning and sea lioning) is a type of trolling or harassment that consists of pursuing people with relentless requests for evidence, often tangential or previously addressed, while maintaining a pretense of civility and sincerity ("I'm just trying to have a debate"), and feigning ignorance of the subject matter. It may take the form of "incessant, bad-faith invitations to engage in debate", and has been likened to a denial-of-service attack targeted at human beings. The term originated with a 2014 strip of the webcomic Wondermark by David Malki, which The Independent called "the most apt description of Twitter you'll ever see".

It really says something that a country like Vietnam, a unitary Marxist-Leninist one-party socialist republic which was carpet bombed by the US and suffered abhorrent atrocities at the hands of Americans, would still rather have close ties with the US in large part because they're worried about China.

If Trump loses in 2024, the threat of him becoming president again will be gone. He's old, fat and in decline.

Agreed.

I think the mask slipped for a moment, given the person you're replying to often echoes Russian propaganda and seemingly wants Trump to win the US election.

Consider changing your ip/location.

Surely the status quo is the solution to stopping Trump

Correct. Biden winning the election will stop Trump winning the election.

and the growing threat of the right.

Stopping Trump will do more to stop the growing threat of the right than not stopping Trump.

Stabbed in the eye it is then.
