You: both sides are the same from a leftist point of view.
Me: obviously not.
Meanwhile trump:
I don’t think [immigrants] are the problem in terms of election day,” Trump told Bartiromo. “I think the bigger problem are the people from within, we have some very bad people, sick people, radical left lunatics.”
“And it should be easily handled by, if necessary, by National Guard, or if really necessary, by the military,” he said.
Trump announces that it’s a good idea to shoot down leftists and you’re still struggling to see any difference between him and Harris?!?!
Yes, but your overall message is still both sides, and you’ve given no indication that you might be prepared to vote democratic to avert the oncoming fascist takeover of America.
What effect do you think sending the military after people who disagree with Trump will have on the Overton window?
Of course I’m not going to vote democrat, that’s not the same as saying that both sides are the same. There are differences, but that’s not the question, the question is whether either of them is acceptable, to which my answer is no.
So we’re back to you agreeing with the the guy proposing that leftists be shot in the street if he becomes president that leftists should abstain from choosing the president.
I’ve explained my reasoning in the other thread that we’re talking in. I believe that voting third party is the most effective way for leftists to exert influence to get the kinds of policies we need. If someone on the right agrees with me for completely opposite reasons, that’s not really relevant, I’m not going to abandon my reasoned positions just because someone shitty agrees with me. I could just as easily say, “So you agree with Dick Cheney on who should be the next president. I can’t even.” That’s not really a rational line of argument.
The only way to prevent leftists getting shot is to address the root issues that gave rise to Trump. Yes, it’s worth avoiding that, which is why I want to. Is it worth accepting that that’s definitely going to happen, in exchange for kicking the can down the road a bit? No, I don’t think so.
No, the only way to prevent leftists getting shot is to elect Kamala Harris so that trump isn’t in charge of the military a couple of months after the supreme court ruled that he can’t break the law with an official act and a couple of weeks after promising to shoot leftists.

Did you read the first three words of my comment?

You don’t think shooting leftists is worth avoiding at all?
