I can tell you're going to go through whatever mental gymnastics are necessary to convince yourself that voting for the lesser evil is somehow a win.
Sorry you've been conditioned to dedicate so much energy working against your own interests. If more of you diverted that energy to the people supporting our oppressors, we wouldn't need to be having this discussion.
My friend, the only one performing mental gymnastics right now is you trying to convince yourself that what you have achieved by refusing to vote against a fascist is a win.
Assuming you're an American, by refusing to vote against fascism I'm pretty sure you won't be having any free discussions in a year or so lest you be carted off by the local stasi.
How? Either way I lose.
If I voted for harris and harris won, I still lost. If I voted for harris and trump won, I still lost. if I voted for trump and trump won, I still lost.
You're naive enough to believe that harris winning is the same as you winning, and that's just proving my point. You've been conditioned to think that a slow loss is the same as a win.
Yeah, you're too far gone to be taken seriously. Your reply is just an automated response you feel compelled to make to fit in with other people who are also too far gone.
Gonna block you now. Good luck in life.
Because when you vote against a fascist you're considering wider society, not just your self.
The correct statement is 'if Harris gets in, I lost. If Trump gets in everyone loses. Its about more than just you.
I'm not American. What I am though is able to see that fascism is worse than conservatism. The fact that conservatism is still bad is irrelevant when the only other choice is an actual fascist because the fascist will probably remove your power to vote in the future.
Yeah, some truths are too uncomfortable to be lived with aren't they?
