But brah, it’s totally acceptable to overreact when one candidate doesn’t give us every little fucking thing we want, and MORE. They better cowtow, or I’m gonna keep being mean in comments because that’s useful and productive for reealz.

I’ll totally trash their bullshit because I’m not “working for the man”, dawg. Kamala is just more bullllshiiiit or whatever stupid thing we people say. Palestine on ma dingdong, and JillStein4Prez ✌️💩💩

Do you genuinely think that people are being petulant or petty or something because they strongly object to their leadership supporting an ongoing genocide? Like this is some unreasonable “pet issue” or something?

Yes, because they are. Let’s break it down.

  • The only factual result of the system we can vote in has the outcome of two parties.
  • GOP is getting people in swing states kicked off the rolls
  • Ranked choice hasn’t hit all states yet

Ergo: anyone who doesn’t vote for Harris is a vote for Trump. Like it or not.

It is a dipole. You vote for fascism and some old bitch trying to save his own ass in a clear run towards dictatorship, OR YOU VOTE AGAINST THAT.

Jill Stein and RFK Jr are wasted votes. That’s the fucking facts. Get with reality.

And if your sole vote is about Gaza, GUESS WHAT? Everyone else is waiting in line to sell weapons to Israel. You won’t solve that issue by voting for fascist bullshit in the US as a revenge vote.

So yeah…I’d call that fucking petulant if you’re willing to vote for fascism because you don’t get your fucking way. Kick and scream and do whatever you want. It’s not going the way you want in either case, so don’t take the extra step to “stick it to the man” by helping vote Trump in.

Is supporting a genocide fascist? If I were trying to differentiate myself from a fascist opponent, I might simply stop supporting the genocide. Would you go to war if drafted? If you don’t go, someone else will. That person might shoot children in the stomach, whereas you would more compassionately aim for the head.

Vote for the best candidate & participate in active protest for your ideals on the issues the winner doesn’t support.

Following this logic: anyone who does not vote for Trump votes for Harris.

So a vote for third party is a vote for Harris?

us every little fucking thing we want

Imagine supporting genocide so hard that this is what you think of anyone who objects to it in any way at all ever.

Disgusting mindset.

why you’re super JO for Stein.

I am voting for Harris and have never advocated for Stein. Lying about me won’t make your constant genocide advocacy any less gross.

The real world is not nice or perfect.

You take the least worst option. You’re choosing between a 2/10 and a 7/10 and then upset that the 7/10 isn’t a 10/10. That’s never going to happen. I would love for it to, but that’s naively idealistic.

And I’m already voting for Harris. I still get to gripe about genocide, no matter how much it pisses off centrists to hear the blasphemy to the core of their worldview that is the merest suggestion that we shouldn’t be supporting genocide.

I love when liberals actually put things in these terms because it’s so much more honest than how they typically talk about it.

A candidate supporting genocide means they don’t, “give us every little fucking thing we want, and MORE.” A pro-genocide candidate is still a “7/10.” Good, yes, drop the pretense and tell the truth that you just don’t really give a shit how many foreigners get murdered, instead of trying to act like some bleeding heart. Exposing the contradictions like that is good.
