Lol, no distance on support for genocide, but criticizing people voting for someone she herself called a fascist is out of bounds.

The people voting for Trump lack self-awareness, empathy, and critical thinking, but they are still humans.

Conservatives do not see non-conservatives as humans. You’ll forgive me if I don’t award them any humanity medals.

No the people who vote for Trump are garbage as well. Garbage all the way. I will vote for Harris; but disagree with her stance. I get why she did it but fuck Mega she not going win their votes. My Trumper neighbor just yesterday said only reason anyobe voting for her is because she is a N word woman.

Keep in mind he knows I support Harris and will vote for her tomorrow. He even asked if I was voting early. Isaid yes sir and for Harris. He is a racist, but he didn’t attack me for my decision so I got that going for me. What worries me is his wife works at the polling station.

I have huge fear that Trump going steal this election and he has enough support to do so. Lets fucking vote all for Harris make it so large a gap he can’t steal it.

They are much worse than garbage. They are fascists. Which is essentially the worst thing you can be.

If Harris wins you might want to lay low for awhile in case this guy does decide to attack someone.

Also, if Trump wins, he’ll eventually rile them up to harm anyone who didn’t support him. Fascism do be like that.

If she honestly believes that she’s an idiot, and if she doesn’t she’s way too comfortable with lying to the American people about important issues. The truth of the matter is that if a person has supported the Republican party in the last five decades they are dangerous garbage, and unless they’re willing to put in the work to recycle themselves into something more positive we need to contain them and have their toxicity diluted to the point where it can’t hurt anyone, just like we would with any other waste. Elected Dems ignoring this difficult but painfully obvious truth is why our politics have kept getting worse as the Republicans have gotten crazier and faced no consequences for it.

You can only achieve a fair and civil society through fairness and civility. That is what (most of) the democrats have been working on for the last 50 years.

It’s always tempting to think that you could “defeat” evil through violence, repression, suppression, and exclusion. Instead, you only become it.

edit: I really don’t mean to lecture here. I wrote this because I saw myself in the comment I replied to, and I needed to remind myself to be kind.

I mean, our country was founded through a bunch of people getting really uncivil and violent. Sure, it still needed - and still needs - a lot of improvement to be fair for everyone who wasn’t part of the “in-group,” but the same could be said for most countries at the time ours was founded.

I certainly don’t believe that it’s necessary to be uncivil and violent to achieve a fair and civil society, but it has shown past success at ridding a country of leaders who don’t have the people’s best interests at heart.

The rest of Britain became democratic without violence. I’m not convinced that the revolution was necessary to throw off the oppressors. I think it was more about protecting the wealthy in the colonies.

Everyone loves invoking the paradox of tolerance because it makes you sound smart and progressive.

Paradoxically, it’s most often used as an excuse to be intolerant of some group that you have arbitrarily branded as intolerant.

I hereby pronounce you intolerant, thereby according to the docterine of the paradox of tolerance you are forthwith stripped of your right to be tolerated.

As always, the problem is nuanced and you need to consider carefully the extent to which you’re willing to tolerate what level of intolerance under what circumstances.

You have no idea how electoral politics works, do you? Of course it’s true, and of course she agrees with it.

I agree, but following with the “garbage” comment also feeds into the Republicans sense of somehow being both the greatest and the victims.

Their victim-games are theatrical manipulations and should be ignored completely. Every word uttered by a conservative is deception or manipulation. They are not capable of shame or remorse. If you are not with them, you are against them. Period.

Also, who gives a shit about the opinions or feelings of a fascist?

Democrats: “Vote for Harris if you want to save the country from Trump and the Republicans!” Also Democrats: “We need a strong Republican party and we love the Cheney’s!” The Left: “WTF is going on?”

I don’t really understand your issue… She doesn’t “love” them, she’s just associating with them. Are you so drunk on Trump’s bullshit that you think we should seek only division?

20 years ago it was Bush and the Cheneys that were so bad we would have been told to vote for anyone running Blue.

Can’t wait to vote for the Democratic candidate in 2048 based on the idea that they’ll only conscript first-born children into mandatory asteroid farming and have Barron Trump’s enforcement over Megahitler.

I can’t see it being more affordable to use humans to farm asteroids than machines. Life support systems seem expensive long term. That said, I also can’t think of a resource that would be worth mining off planet in that time frame.

I mean I hate the Cheneys more than most people on Lemmy, which believe me has come as quite a shock to see how popular they are on here, but even I wouldn’t describe them as magas.
