I'd be very curious to see how many of you vote for someone who killed your entire family. Hey, you may even have the opportunity to by the time Trump dies and federal Dems expect you to pretend that they did anything to stop this.
Edit: I'm gonna leave this here in case any of you bloodthirsty libs think that you actually care about anyone's wellbeing. Imagine hearing news every week -- maybe even every day -- of your cousins dying, your siblings, your parents, your neighbours, people who you spoke to once and remember fondly, everything about your home destroyed in the most brutal and violent way imaginable; some of them died slowly, trapped under rubble for days. Then, you can't stomach to support or even tolerate the people who haven't even stopped bombing and sniping and gassing your family, and some fucking privileged assholes in the metropole blame you when their white supremacist state elects one of two white supremacists. Almost inhuman levels of dissonance.
Look at this and say why you think these people don't deserve to hate you and the system you benefit from.
Well, gosh, I dunno, let's say Democrats killed your whole family. So you have a choice: One party that killed your whole family, or another party that....... also killed your whole family.
I guess it makes no difference! Except all the fucking other ways it does, AND that's if we accept that on that issue both parties are the same, which they are not (although it's one of the places centre-right Dems fucking suck, yes).
One of my children hits me with an open fist from time to time, the other one uses a knife. I think I'll take the kid that only uses their fist over the one that uses the knife. Or some stupid analogy.
Oh, you don't like either of those? Then act where it matters to make change! Primaries, run for office, support other candidates. But when it comes to voting between fist and knife, I'll vote fist every fucking time.
This argument is fucking infuriating because all of the asshats voting against our best interests are harming all of us. Yes, it sucks, but you have to take the best option at every fucking level, or you get even worse. Like we are now.
Keep gloating that we didn't get those.
It happened one fucking time, don't be a fucking stupid ignorant fuck and pretend it has happened more than one single fucking time. Fuck off.
If it weren't part of a larger pattern of diluting the voice of primary voters in favor of genocide wing candidates, you might have a point.
It’s a fucked up system where we get to choose between bad and worse and then we wonder why most people don’t vote and hate the government.
It's even more fucked up when people don't vote and allow "WORSE" to win. And then wonder why things are even worse.
People should just accept that the US is gonna back genocide, let billionaires fuck kids and steal everything, and then pretend to be great.
Expecting that we won’t be terrible discourages voting.
Why do we have to fucking say this every goddamned fucking time.
IN THE GENERAL ELECTION WHEN THE OPTION IS FASCISM OR NOT FASCISM DO NOT VOTE FOR FASCISM
IF YOU WANT TO FIGHT AGAINST GENOCCIDE AND PEDOPHILIA AND THE REST THEN YOUR TIME TO FIGHT IS NOW, NOT THE GENERAL FUCKING ELECTION. RUN FOR OFFICE. TAKE OVER THE GOVERNMENT AND REVOLT. KILL BILLIONAIRES. WHATEVER YOU THINK IS BEST
BUT WHEN IT COMES TO A GENERAL ELECTION BETWEEN FACIST AND NOT-FASCIST, THE ONLY CHOICE IS TO VOTE AGAINST THE FASCIST
Anything else supports fascism.
Now, any other fucking strawman stupid ass offtopic bullshit?
"Not fascist" wasn't on the ballot.
Yeah and if you expect change and don’t get it then you should just stop complaining or you support fascism.
