      They couldn’t care less about the current situation or that their third party vote (I recognize this troll from before) helped make the current situation a reality. What this user cares about is agitation.

        What are you talking about? You don’t get to speak for me. I voted for a highly educated & distinguished doctor who opposed the genocide in Gaza & advocated for healthcare as a human right. I think it bothers you that I actually voted with a moral conscious.

        I didn’t have to try to wrap myself in a pretzel to vote for Stein. I’m proud of who I voted for. You can claim all you want that your Dick Cheney praising candidate was morally superior, but it doesn’t make it true.

        If you want my vote then earn it. I don’t owe it to you. That is Democracy. What I saw & still see is a bunch of leftwing authoritarians trying to silence anyone critical of their beloved AIPAC puppets, demanding votes & wishing violence on anyone who doesn’t do what they demand.

          All the flimsy justification in the world doesn’t make up for the fact that you didn’t try to stop this. You empowered it.

          Edit: lmao is this really how you’re describing known Russian asset Jill Stein?

          highly educated & distinguished doctor who opposed the genocide in Gaza & advocated for healthcare as a human right.

          Stein had no chance of winning and you knew it. You voted for nobody. You didn’t vote. Not voting is mathematically equivalent to half a vote for the candidate you least support. You voted for Trump and everything his administration is doing now.

            I voted for her cause she earned my vote. I listened to what she had to say & her message carried substantially more values than “can’t think of anything I’d do differently than Joe” Kamala Cheney. You supported those responsible for the deaths of 20k+ children in Palestine. The Biden administration vetoed UN resolutions calling for a ceasefire. You voted for the indiscriminate killing of civilians. You’re getting exactly what you voted for. I didn’t vote for the indiscriminate killing of civilians. That is the difference.

              Whatever. You’re either too dense to understand how you helped Trump win or are pretending to be. In any case, you are not virtuous; you are part of the problem. Might as well go join ICE, chud.

                  Your party too. Your party is the Republicans. You don’t exempt yourself by throwing your vote away - you join the greater of two evils. That’s the point you want to pretend you’re too dense to understand.

      They are the reason we are here. Instead of delivering what the democratic voters demanded in 2020, they funded ICE, diverted covid funds to police, appointed an AG who chose not to lock up Trump, and sent the police to kick the shit out of the politically activated college students who make up the dem’s ground game.

      False dichometry. Democrats did everything to hand over power to the Republicans. It’s a good cop bad cop, one party situation.

      People have to organise on their own and make sure that good people are in power.

          I have. I called them the good cops. They would never dare to bend the law like the Republicans do. But that doesn’t matter, because it’s only a role they play. They leave the room when it’s time for the dark stuff. A really good person would never allow the bad cop to bend the law.
