A cultist is brainwashed.
An enabler is letting perfection be the enemy of good.
A cultist is brainwashed.Yeah, this about sums it up right here.
An enabler is letting perfection be the enemy of good.
In the end, the results are the same.
To the extent that I don't think Trump's non-voting enablers are actively trying to kill people, while his voters are increasingly proving to be dangerous psychopaths who shouldn't be trusted with a bowl of Jell-O (to say nothing of their gigantic gun hoards or their disproportionately-high amount of political power), yes.
But "not voting for wannabe-Hitler" isn't exactly a high bar to clear, and nobody should get a medal for not tripping and falling on that bar.
all those countries with 1-party systems sure are doing stellar right now aren't theyAnd what is your response to the republican party following those one party nation's "How to" books to the letter?
all those countries with 1-party systems sure are doing stellar right now aren't theyNot really a good argument when one of the two parties tried to overturn a fair election and end democracy.

"people shit talk the US but it's still better than those dictatorships in South America and Africa!"Brazil managed to legally bar Bolsonaro from running for public office so theyve got that on America.

all those countries with 1-party systems sure are doing stellar right now aren't theyThis is kind of short sighted because some of them legitimately are.
But it's not a deal breaker eitherNope, it's not. But it does mean they're not the immediate, existential threat to American society and human lives that the Republicans are.
The end result is identical, so not much point in distinguishing.
If you want to not be tied to the crazies, don't vote for the fascist.
Full stop.
I had a dude accuse me of being an enabler of Trump. I didnt appreciate his rambling so hes on a charitable organizations mailing list complete with donation in his name for helping to save Afghan ally lives.Huh??
Its like Ben Franklin said, we all hang together or well hang separately.
You are not morally obligated to vote for a genocidaire. You are in fact morally obligated to not do that. You do not need to pick between the lesser of two genocides, you refuse the question. The inaction of not endorsing genocide is always morally superior to the action of endorsing a genocide. If genocide is inevitable then at the very least do not stain your own soul by giving it your stamp of approval. Refusal to vote is a common form of protest in demonstrating lack of support for the actions of a government you believe to be acting against your beliefs, and browbeating people to vote blue no matter who is not a winning long term strategy.See this stupid shit right here is how we even got Trump the first time around. That quote from android 16 to Gohan in DBZA is you guys in a nutshell

you think you're better than everyone else, but there you stand: the good man doing nothing. And while evil triumphs and your rigid pacifism crumbles into bloodstained dust, the only victory afforded to you is that you stuck true to your guns. You were a coward to your last whimper.

dems can maybe go back to pretending to be an opposition partyCan you clarify this
We got trump the first round because the dems chose to throw all their weight and power behind nominating geriatric and unlikable shitlibs that swing states didnt like and because electoral politics meant only a few states really mattered like always. Good thing they learned their lesson and that won't happen again! Christ, imagine following the trump presidency and there even being a question of being re-elected. It's going to be really funny if that happens and at least dems can maybe go back to pretending to be an opposition party for a few years until they get in office again.The Democrats made us do it. - party of personal responsibility
