Without knowing what country you’re from, I can still guarantee that a shift towards the right wing fascist movement is a global problem. Whatever is happening in the US can easily happen elsewhere, and in some cases, has already started in Europe.

Switched to an alt to defend yourself and these ridiculous hot takes? Stop trying to discourage voting and BoTh SiDeS’ing

Found one! I keep seeing your hot take comments trying to “BoTh SiDeS” things.

Kindly stfu.

Except you have it backwards. If the Democrats won 100% of the time, you’d get more factions within the party, with some of them going much further left. The dumb race to the center happens because the GOP has rigged everything in their favor.

The senate race with land essentially voting is not offset by the incorrectly capped House seats. Why does a red farmer in Iowa’s vote matter more for the Senate and House.

I don’t think they will since there are so many licensed Star Wars sets. Can’t compete with themselves and Disney.

Space = Star Wars in the Lego world now

Fuck off with the “it’s better to elect the GOP so they make people more angry” bullshit logic. That’s just stupid accelerationist thinking.

And yet ml users simp for Russia, China, and NK. All three are authoritarian regimes, and nowhere near any sort of “communism”.

Well, furry costumes provide limited visbility and fine motor controls to handle flying the airplane. They may also have trouble navigating the confined space in a cockpit.

And your solution is to what? Let the country burn down?

Oh. .ml, yes that probably is your solution.

Hopefully he doesn’t make it past the primaries. Unfortunately if he does and he’s up against a MAGA Republican, there’s only one clear choice.

Go help campaign for progressive candidates before the primaries! Come November 2028, it may be too late.

Yes, 2024, my mistake. It does feel like so much longer than that.

As I suspected. Voting third party in the general election in November just helped Trump win. Hopefully that third party vote wasn’t for Jill “Russian plant” Stein.

Come the general election, if your default state wasn’t voting for the Democrat, you helped the Republicans win. May as well not voted.

Primary for the most progressive candidate you want, but once the reality of the general election comes, there’s only one clear choice.

I’m done trying to reason with you here. Have a good day.

“I do not believe in lesser evilism” and “There is nothing hypocritical in opposing the state and opposing the state” don’t reflect reality.

Stop dancing around with this idealistic theoretical scenario. Simple question: in November 2022, who did you support for the presidential election?

This isn’t a thought experiment, or philosophical grandstanding. There were only 4 choices at that time, and all but one helped Trump.

Oh look, a new user account trying to bOtH sIdEs. Tell me, how have any of those things you mentioned improved with Trump?

Funny that new users jump on with these naive bullshit takes, like somehow voting for Jesus Christ himself in November 2022 was an option.

There’s a stark difference in your example and the reality from November 2022. In that world the only realistic choice was between voting for Harris or Trump as president, and given those two choices, there was an absolutely objectively better choice. That is unless you have the mindset of “just tear it all down”, in which case, you reek of hypocrisy. All the harm you think Harris would have done, Trump has done and so so much more.

All that being said, I sure hope to %insert_deity_here% that Harris doesn’t run again in 2028, or if she does, she gets destroyed in the primaries.

Funny that I don’t see any of you ml users making a huge deal about the number of deaths resulting from the USAid funding, which by many estimates, is 5-10x those in Gaza.no chance that Harris would have cut that funding.

Almost as if your arguments aren’t genuine.

Besides, I doubt you can even vote in the US elections.

No, the logic looks ridiculous when you try to bOtH sIdEs the two parties. Newsflash, there is more going on in the world besides the Israel Palestine conflict. Do you think Harris would have ended USAid? What about the Iran war?

The funding cuts to USAid alone are estimated to have lead to ~5-10x more deaths than anything in Gaza. Where is your outrage about that? Stop your bullshit.

ITT a bunch of ml users complaining about how the two party system and first past the post voting sucks. Yeah, it does, but in the reality we live in, once the general election came up and your choices were Trump, Harris, 3rd party, or don’t vote, all choices save one helped Trump.

Cry and whine all you want, but that was the reality of the world in November 2022.

Then again, I doubt many of the ml users can even vote in the US elections due to not being actual US citizens, or maybe even human.

Anyone bringing up Gaza better be bringing up the deaths as a result of Trump’s cuts to USAid since that’s a significantly bigger number of deaths from a policy that the Democrats would absolutely have not implemented. Odd that I never hear these ml users mentioning those stats…

Probably from the first 150 agents they took a closer look at.

Eh, the Falklands are much more complicated than “UK Imperialism”. The locals overwhelmingly want to stay a part of the UK, and the island was pretty much inhabited until European counties started to live there.
