And you all told me the blue maga border bill that Republicans rejected was 4d chess.

    I don’t know how to address this level of delusion without going over a hundred years of American political history, which I suspect would be lost on you.

    I love how you parade your ignorance. The Democratic candidate absolutely can be decided at the convention. All it would require is the current president engaging in an extremely unpopular genocide that IS going to cost him the election step down. You know, if he actually wanted to protect the country from Trump

    My guy, if fascism comes to America, I’m a mentally ill near-sighted cripple living significantly below the poverty line with an irregular income with few practical skills.

    So… Just to be clear with your previous arguments about being perfectly okay with sacrificing people, you’d actually vote for a Democratic candidate that was better than Trump in all ways, except he advocated for euthanizing, in your words, cripples?

    You expect Palestinians to vote for the man providing the weapons that are being used to kill their entire families. You’d make the same sacrifice you expect of others?

    And separately, prepper delusions aren’t going to be much help.

    Tell that to the Italians. You keep using the word Fascism, without thinking through the ramifications of that word. It’s not a prepper fantasy to say that if you believe the end of democracy is nigh, and fascism is coming, that you should start stockpiling weapons to try to prevent the concentration camps. Something you also don’t seem to have a problem with, as long as they’re not in America.

    The reason the former is supposedly better, when paired with minority rights, is that it doesn’t lead to things like genocide.

    I think you have a fundamental misunderstanding of democracy.

    I think you have a fundamental misunderstanding of the last 200 years of political theory.

      Yes, absolutely. Fuck, man, that’s not even that far off. The US health care system as is is going to end me before long, and Biden isn’t going to do a damn thing about it. I still don’t want anyone else to be fucked who can be saved from being fucked.

      Also, in this example, Trump should be advocating the torture and euthanization of cripples. Because Trump’s track record and rhetoric are both considerably worse on the issue of Palestine and Israel.

      If asked to choose between “More evil” and “Less”, pick less. If asked to choose between having your entire family killed and having your brother killed, pick your brother. No one is saved by picking the greater evil. It’s not a moral choice. It’s not helpful. It’s just a tantrum.

      All of your other points are just rehashing the same arguments made before.
