There are two choices in the United States 2024 election. No third party stands a ghost of a chance of winning. No, not even if the 30,000 people you can reach on Lemmy all vote for Timothy Greenparty.
A Trump victory in 2024 would not only be just as bad if not worse for the citizens of Gaza than Harris would, but also pose an existential threat to a large number of vulnerable Americans (trans people, immigrants, women seeking abortions).
Given the margins of victory in 2016 and 2020, Kamala might not win if leftists don't vote for her.
Snoozing fascism for four years is better than inviting it through the door now, and buys us time to build our defenses for when it comes back.
Regardless of whether you do anything else to fight fascism or not, if you don't vote, or you vote third party, you raise the chances that a Hitler admirer will enter the white house.
I'd like to focus my counterargument. Which of these statements do you disagree with?
"some people think kamala is better than trump, and they want us to vote for kamala because trump is worse and stands a genuine chance at winning. liberals are forcing their opinion on us therefore it's our duty to continue to scream BOTH SIDES BAD at them and circumvent their attempts to block us"? is that what you're saying?
Okay! Climate change is the largely man-made phenomenon of the Earth's temperature gradually increasing, leading to more severe weather events and mass species extinctions. To solve climate change, here's what you should do: plan that only vaguely helps on the individual level assuming it's coherent at all
yeah but you always get paired with teammates who suck at shitting and you end up having to carry their diapered asses while the other team wipes the floor with you
So, just to confirm, you’re saying that there are only two options for dealing with crime.
A) We have the police exactly as they are now
B) We pretend crime doesn’t exist
You are literally replying to a comment explaining that I do not believe that! Here is what I said again, since you clearly didn't read it the first time:
The police exactly as we have them now fucking suck, but you seem to think they should be abolished rather than reformed, and I’m still waiting for you to tell me how, why, and what they should be replaced with.
What is it with leftists and never reading past the first sentence?
I have repeatedly explained that I am open to the possibility of a third option, and repeatedly asked you what it is. You have yet to do anything other than stall the conversation and deliberately misrepresent my position. I am forced to conclude that you have no argument to present and are simply trolling.
If this is not the case, let me know. If it is the case, just make one more comment not answering the goddamn question so I can finally block you with a clean conscience.
I'd like to focus my counterargument. Which of these statements do you disagree with?
