    Whenever I hear liberals mention a third party vote is a vote for Trump, it’s like they’re almost trying to say neutrality is implicit support for the status quo. Except they only apply it to voting because that’s their entire framework. It’s also a good example of how liberals can only see reality in terms of two teams.

    Trump and his backers would undoubtedly support the complete Israeli takeover of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, and the dislocation of millions of Palestinians.

    Oh that would suck if we had a president who wanted to commit genocide against Palestinians. I can’t imagine what that would be like.

    Despite acknowledging that it would be bad politics, Trump would almost certainly support a complete, nationwide ban on abortion and probably also endorse Christian fundamentalist demands to ban contraceptives, along with nationwide book bans. His aides are already on record calling for the creation of concentration camps for immigrants, while he has made it clear he wants to prosecute and imprison his political opponents, journalists, and other dissidents

    Liberals live in a separate reality. All of this is already happening regardless of who the president is. Row v Wade was overturned under Biden and there hasn’t been a federal abortion protection. Do they really think Biden in a second term will suddenly change? What the hell is this

    Many of his former advisers now agree that [Trump] shouldn’t be in a position to give orders to the U.S. national security apparatus. They are right. Trump poses an existential danger to the United States.

    Trump is a Chinese sleeper cell confirmed. Please usher in the revolution Tongzhi Trump

    The end of the article does that stupid thing comparing progressives now to how the KPD wasn’t able to make a coalition to stop Hitler. Yeah except the social democrats just spent the past 20 years sabotaging communists and also they killed Rosa Luxemburg. There wasn’t a whole lot of mutual trust between the communists and social democrats at that point, even when fascists were in elections. Also whenever liberals make this comparisons they always imply that the Democrats are the like the Social Democrats in 1920 Germany. Yeah, no. The Democrats are more like the DVP (German People’s Party), the conservative party allied with industrialists whose main policies were promoting austerity and privatization.

      Liberals are the party of Hindenburg.

    I’m voting for Trump by not moving to one of the five states that actually determines the outcome of an election.

      every other country on the planet is actually voting for trump by not immigrating to one of those 5 states and voting for the dnc candidate, it’ll be the world’s fault when they lose and to punish the non-voters immigration will be further penalised in a bipartisan bill

        Pitching Minnesota to Swedes like “It’s just like where you are now except with worse healthcare and more cheese and if you don’t move it’s a vote for the guy who would enable a genocide over the guy currently enabling a genocide”

    i already held my nose and voted for biden once, a credibly accused abuser of women who turned out to later materially support not only neo-nazi militias but the literal genocide of palestinians, so i’m instead going to learn from my mistake and never vote for anyone again in america. i should have learned this lesson from voting for obama and seeing him abandon every single campaign issue people cared about.

    These people are preaching to a choir with these articles and political Reddit posts. Most people not voting on election day don’t spend their time reading about politics online. They’re normies for the most part and good luck reaching them with condescending posts like this.

      It’s really liberating to tell libs you aren’t voting for a genocide enabler and no amount of their PowerPoint slides about how everything you think is bad is actually good is going to change that.

      Not being able to browbeat people into accepting a shitty situation literally removes all power from liberals.

        I am very close to telling liberals I’m just going to vote for Trump. It’s the only thing I can think to say to make them shut up. They already think I’m a tankie red fascist anyway

          Calling them a misogynist for not still supporting Hillary because it’s her turn also works pretty good to get them to shut the fuck up.

          Really double down and make them explain why “it’s her turn” was true then but isn’t true now when she hasn’t had her turn.

    Unironically starting to love this argument.

    I haven’t seen a liberal get more upset then when I tell them “don’t worry I’m also not voting for Trump so actually I am voting for biden”

    Then tell them by not voting you’re apparently voting twice and why are they not taking full advantage of their democratic right by legally voting twice by voting for nobody.

      Yeah I come from a conservative family who says they’re not voting in 2024, so does that mean Biden is gaining several votes somehow?

    Note that they point out RFK and Cornel West, but not hillary. It’s still her turn, patriots in control, trust the plan.
