That is not a reasonable response to someone having a cooler opinion than you.

Not a coherent response.

See, in America we have a two party system. It isn’t great but it’s what we have. As the oldest constitutional democracy, they made a ton of progress but didn’t quite understand parties and how the systems set up would play out. Under this system, you don’t get a great candidate to vote for. You get a middle of the road lukewarm candidate. And now we get that and a complete crazypants candidate. Choosing to not vote against the complete crazypants candidate because the lukewarm one isn’t your ideal candidate is such an obvious trap that a lot of people think only Russian bots can fall for it. I’m not quite that optimistic. I know people are susceptible to propaganda, and if you throw on a heaping pile of repeated disappointment it’s an excellent environment for it to work.

So, it was a fairly coherent response. But not for people who are Russian bots, or in the throws of apathy from a huge disinformation campaign and just generally awful human existence. Honestly? I hope everything gets better for you too. Cause it doesn’t look like life is great for Russian bots or republicans or disillusioned people who don’t know where to turn. Best of luck my dude (or bot)

Genocide support is not lukewarm nor middle of the road. It’s entirely unacceptable. You might be willing to compromise over the deliberate starvation and slaughter of hundreds of thousands of people, I’m not and literally nothing you say can make me “come round” to the idea that a little genocide is ok to save my own skin.

And now we get that and a complete crazypants candidate.

Because people like you allow democrats to continue getting away with dircing ineffectual, right-wing politics under the excuse that there are only two oarties, therefore we tye voters work for the politicians instead of vice versa.

Your politics are los8ng us our democracy. Time to stop.

So, it was a fairly coherent response.

No. It wasn’t. It was literally that they had no otger defense for their political position than “If you’re not neoliberal/right-wing you’re a rusdian bot”. It’s incoherent because Biden will lose this election, people making excuses for him and the political strategy that landed ys in this situation are the ones who are more likely sock puppets and trolls.
