ITT: People bash Joe Biden while calling Trump a nazi. Then you come in here mockingly calling people who believe biden is the lesser evil as loving him like a messiah (which trumpers do view trump as quite literally.) Do you know how we know you're full of it?
Yes, the "trumpers" are crazy too, I agree.
It's a common understanding here in America that those who support trump typically believe the left is as fervent towards biden as they are of trump. Since they worship the ground trump walks on it breaks their minds over how someone can vote for a man they despise over a candidate they genuinely love. The same confusion you are displaying in here.
Wait, do you actually unironically believe that the democrat party is "left"? Like actually?
Kanye west has literally zero support and his bid for "presidency" hardly even made headlines yet here you are pointing to it. Not only this but you support his presidential bid and who is kanye? A man who brought a literal nazi to dine with Trump who pushes anti-semetic conspiracies against the Jewish people.
Isn't he like a rapper or something?
You have no idea how transparent you are but let's assume for a moment you really aren't from the U.S. let's go with that for a moment. You claim because you don't follow American politics you can't be democrat or republican. There are plenty (in some cases literal) republican parties outside of the u.s. and if not republican there are conservative and even fascist parties. You absolutely can support those while wringing your hands and salivating over a facist take over of America.
Yep, not american. I don't see how that can be hard to believe.

A common tactic by the right especially as election comes closer and closer. He was explained in detail why voting third party doesn't work.

As he clarified he is saying that if literally everyone voted third party then it would work. That is technically true.

Gladius_ posted...
We effectively have a two party system and I am not going to go into the math or reasoning why not only is that the case but why it isn't changing anytime soon. It has zero to do with biden or party worship.

That's fine. You can disagree with his perspective and advice.

Problem is the other guy insulted and potentially misrepresented him on top of that. Meaning he is not the aggressor here.

Sharing your beliefs on the politics of the matter doesn't make someone a party cultist. But that other guy getting hostile towards and attempting to smear someone who simply presented an opposing opinion is totally party cultist behavior, and there's no respectable argument otherwise.

Gladius_ posted...
Not to mention mathmatically the republicans get more mileage out of people voting third party/not voting at all than vice versa. So a common tactic conservatives use is to discourage people from voting at all.

Incumbents tend to benefit from low turnout too, though. The elections Carter, H. W. Bush, and Trump lost were higher turnout than the elections they won, while many of the Dem. presidents who won re-election like Clinton and Obama did so in lower turnout elections than the ones they entered office with.

I am yawning now.

I noticed you also ignored that he literally pointed to Kanye as an example of a third party candidate people could vote for. You know.. a guy who is literally best friends with nick fuentes. It isn't at all lost on me the connection here.

Because the bad political views he shared later have nothing to do with the fact that he was insulted for a much less egregious one first.

This is always so annoying. Nobody gives a shit about other parties and political affiliations when specifically discussing American politics. It's very plainly obvious that the Democratic party is the left wing party in America and what people mean.

Honestly, your politics are largely a source of entertainment for the rest of the world. Still on with the "you are a Trump Nazi facist!" nonsense, you would think you people would lay off on that shit. You aren't going to gain allies by declaring any and all people that challange your political fanaticism as "one of the Trump Nazi's". Do better.

If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck...

https://apnews.com/article/trump-election-2024-rhetoric-germany-antisemitism-31002afb91b642c0314223d19e51f427

At least one of the headlines flashing in the video appears to be text copied verbatim from a Wikipedia entry on World War I: German industrial strength and production had significantly increased after 1871, driven by the creation of a unified Reich.

In one image, the headlines Border Is Closed and 15 Million Illegal Aliens Deported appear above smaller text with the start and end dates of World War I.

Trump previously used rhetoric echoing Adolf Hitler when he said immigrants entering the U.S. illegally are poisoning the blood of our country, and called his opponents vermin.

The former president has also drawn wide backlash for having dined with a Holocaust-denying white nationalist in 2022 and for downplaying the 2017 rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, where white nationalists chanted Jews will not replace us!
This signature is not political.

Yeah that's the main reason I interjected, I just don't think the behavior of that first guy was very productive, nor is giving him a pass by criticizing you for defending yourself.

I am American and Biden policies significantly improved my life, while Trump is likely to be hostile to my interests. I'm far more vulnerable than the mostly wealthy and secure Dem. defense force you see here. And for that reason I'm cautious that people are behaving in a way that doesn't gain votes and risks turning them off. It's much better to handle debates in a civil manner and actually try to convince people, or otherwise just not engage.

Unfortunately, reasonable people in this day and age are hard to come by. Being told by these cultists that I must be "working for the other side" is honestly kinda pathetic. The part I find the most funny is that the one cultist even referred to his own party leader as "evil", which is something I didn't even do, while chastising me on not supporting him.

It's boring that the only trumpers that are left are doing this whole "I'm not really a trumper I'm just not for the left." and arguing plausible deniability while they use right wing talking points, sea lioning, and tactics.
It's because anyone who still openly supports that walking dumpster fire and literal traitor to the country is deserving only of being pointed and laughed at.

The shine is off that orange turd. Whatever "let's wait and see how he handles it" optimism is loooooooooooooong fucking dead.

He's a convicted criminal and fraud.

He's a proven rapist.

He's a proven racist and bigot.

He's a proven traitor to this country.

He's a proven Nazi sympathizer.

Over a million Americans died on his watch to a pandemic he did everything in his power to downplay and spread disinformation about.

He's the worst president in American history, period fucking dot.

There it is again. You tell people to vote for someone you consider to be evil, and then have the nerve to chastise others for wanting better? Oh, just roll over and keep voting for "evil" because that's just the way it is? No, you need to do better. You need to hold them accountable. The two party system is so stupid, and you are here fighting to keep people complacent in it instead of rising up for something better.

C'mon dog I gave you the benefit of the doubt and then this is what you give me?

I'm referring to the ones who have literally posted that they're doing fine, they're not the ones who will suffer the most under Trump, etc. I'm not making an assumption, it's what plenty have admitted to.

Are YOU financially secure? If not, then that properly challenges my point, and I apologize for not considering you. If so, though... well it explains why you went for a personal attack rather than trying to rebuke the claim.

The reason I focus on security is because it's hard to think people who aren't secure would behave as carelessly as some of you do. The only possible shift to be made in insulting a non-voter is provoking them into voting for the guy you don't want out of pure spite. Nobody has an epiphany and realizes they should just join the team of the people who've been insulting and smearing them all political season.

(unless they're NeverTrumpers in the GOP lol. But proper independents have more pride than that)

You ignored an entire outline of how this country is improving. You also cannot vote for someone better. You literally quoted a post that includes the words "Voter suppression" and "gerrymandering". You also literally suggested a jew hating nazi as an alternative. The only way we can have more than a two party system is to make sure the conservative party loses over and over again, and we have found out via statistics the next generation conservatives aren't even as extreme as the current ones. Only by causing the republican party to fragment into smaller parties can we turn our attention to the left and push that party into fragmenting into smaller parties as well. As it stands now, Biden is by far the lesser of two evils. If trump wins, there's a good chance we don't have the ability to even have a fair election moving forward. This is why "Hold them accountable" doesn't work. We are on the cusp of falling into fascism. That isn't hyperbole. Project 2025 is something the conservatives are bold enough to put out there and something that has it's very own web page. Their goal, is literally, the destruction of democracy.

This. The ~7-800 days between a presidential election/mid term election is the time to push for more progressive or more supported policies. That's the time you work towards "better options", and push to "hold your representatives accountable"

At an election, you vote for the less-evil option, and in the USA, that's the Dem vote every time. That's better than a republican vote, and that's better than a third party vote, and that's better than no vote.

One side in this country is embracing full on fascism and they arent even trying to hide it anymore. If someone is either low-information or ignorant enough to not see that, then insulting them and telling them factual information is valid. Biden is the only option this election.

If someone insults you for not having a strong opinion regarding nazis and then you think Wow theyre mean I HAVE to vote for the nazis now then youre beyond help.

Mmhm. Keep batting for the guy who knows that Kanye West is a "Candidate" but doesn't know his views and isn't sure he's a rapper.

A lot of people are uninformed voters. It's entirely possible to know he's a rapper who ran for president but have no idea what his political views are. For example I didn't know RFK Jr. was a pro-choice advocate until recently, I assumed he was a generic anti-vax chud like almost everyone else who's anti-vax, because realistically most people don't give a shit about the policy platforms of unpopular candiates.

Endorsing candidates without research is silly though, yes.

...Realistically not directly, since I can't convince anyone to do better on this front (been failing since 2015), and I also let frustration leak in to my posts like anyone else.

But indirectly I think it's best to show that there are somewhat less aggressive unbiased people who still believe Biden is a better choice for the nation than Trump, but aren't flipping out on people with different moral values (ex. a rejection of lesser evilism). That can potentially convice others that they can still make a choice on the election without exclusively siding with political bullies.

That was my favorite at the start of Biden's presidency. The right screeching about executive overreach with Biden's unprecedented amount of executive orders.... until you point out that Donnie had done far more in that same amount of time. Then it wasn't the AMOUNT it was the SUBSTANCE of them... just don't ask which ones though, that's too much work.
