sorry for the typo

alt text: a 4 panel comic where character A says “if you don’t want biden to win, you must support trump” character 2 says “i don’t accept moral responsibility for the corporate owned two party system” the comic ends with character 1 growing angry at this response and calling character 2 a fascist.

    You could do the extreme minimum of preventing a fascist government.

    Or you could complain that the extreme minimum doesn’t have those chocolate sprinkles that you like and step aside for fascism.

    Of course people will see that as supporting fascism.

            So you do want Biden to win.

            Or you’re only voting (or saying you’re voting) for the sake of getting people who dislike fascism off your back.

                again, whats your problem?

                So let me get this straight.

                You acknowledge the opposition is fascism.

                You don’t want fascism to win.

                You are voting for Biden.

                You support a Biden (or Dem ticket) victory of the realistic possible outcomes for this election.

                You post a meme saying that people who equate support of Biden with opposition to fascism are NPCs.

                Do you really not see the disconnect here?

                  i believe democrats are just as capable of fascism as republicans. do you not see the difference between voting as a mechanical act of harm reduction vs voting as it is meant to be understood? a vote is meant to be an act of freedom. when i can only vote for burger king or mcdonalds, i argue i am not free.

                    “Being unfree is when people don’t agree with me, limiting my strategic choices as a citizen in an election; and the more people don’t agree with me, the more unfree I am.”

                    You didn’t make it too clear initially, but you’re basically saying, “I’m anti fascism and will vote for whatever the least harmful option is. Voting for the least harmful option does not mean you are pro that option”, right?
