    I think the issue is you see the democrats as “lesser” evil, despite them being gleeful participants in genocide, climate change, “tough-on-crime”-prison-slavery, deportation, police states and everything else. The only two practical differences are that Democrats are more competent administrators of empire and they’re less rude about bombing brown people.

      Which is more dangerous to detonate, a grenade or a nuclear bomb?

      Which is hotter, 60C or 100C?

      It’s like you’re bending over backwards to refuse that the words “more” and “less” exist in English?

      I really do need to get around to blocking lemmy.ml, apparently.

        Whats more dangerous, a nuclear bomb or a nuclear bomb that’s kind of rude about doing the same stuff as the other one?

        Its like youre bending over backwards to avoid discussing the fact that the two parties are the same, because this gross caricature where there is a measurable difference is easier for you to engage with morally and intellectually.

          If you genuinely don’t believe open fascism is worse than tepid failure to properly address it, we’re never going to see eye to eye.

          You believe that voting for the GOP is exactly, literally the same as not doing so? That’s just wrong, and you know it.

          Again, it’s funny that 100% of the ridiculous arguments like this are coming from lemmy.ml. It’s so rare that a reasonable person comes from there.


          Oh hey, you’re the one making ridiculous arguments against me above too. I guess I should just block you for now.

            Again, you fail to engage with the actual argument. They are both open fascists.

            You believe that voting for the GOP is exactly, literally the same as not doing so? That’s just wrong, and you know it.

            No? I believe voting for democrats and voting for the republicans bring forth the same conditions of life for people inside and outside the US. Because both parties are fascists.
