If existential fear won't get you to vote against Trump, then nothing will.

And yet he's gone. Suicided his account. So neither of us really accomplished anything in the end. Personally I don't believe it's my job to coddle morons but I'm glad people like you and Umbreon took it upon yourselves to give patience to someone that was immutable. He was just another "earn my vote" voice. One that is ultimately lip service to fascism. Voting against it shouldn't be something you need to be taught. The only difference is I was at least trying to make him see his vainglorious high horse was worthless.

Nothing of value is lost with the departure of that clown. But that bolded part is incredibly important. Much of what is wrong with the US comes down to the coddling of willful, aggressive stupidity.

The idea of "my ignorance/illogic is just as good as anyone else's reasoning even (or especially) if the other person is an expert" needs to fucking end.

In this particular case, a fuckwit who stubbornly refuses to admit the only two choices in the US the November for president are Biden (oppression of Gaza/Palestinians is likely to continue in the usual US/Israel imperialist/colonial mode) and Trump (easy solution to I/P because the US and Israel just kill them all) isn't worth talking to.

The only reason to interact with those types online is to try to prevent the contagion from spreading.
