It's getting unnerving to me how little people are capable of tolerating alternative opinions and voting habits these days. Actually kinda ridiculous.

How much more openly fascist and genocidal do Republicans have to get before it's OK to get upset that people vote for them? Whether or not you think they're there yet, tell me where the line is. How bad does it have to get?

Because if you see the shit Republicans are openly doing and aren't immediately repulsed then you're part of the problem.

No one in this topic said it wasn't ok to be upset that people vote for republicans. This is a complete strawman.

This. Republicans are so openly horrible and cause so much pain and suffering to innocents, yet we still have people going "OMG people are so tribal. Why does politics matter so much to people? Why can't people just talk to one another?" and crap like that. 9 out of 10 times it's people who lean conservative who can't get why their ideology is cancer.

Get a goddamn clue and get real. This is literal life and death for many people.

It doesn't surprise me when republicans get upset that someone doesn't want to attach themselves to the two-party system. After all, the very term "non-binary" makes them cry on its own.

Seeing as how one of these parties is a fascist party (and this is NOT an exaggeration) at this point, you're either gaslighting or so woefully ignorant of politics that you should be embarrassed to even be speaking on the matter.

My existence and basic human rights aren't up for debate. When Republicans stop trying to legislate LGBTQ+ out of public sight (at best) or out of existence entirely, I'll revisit tolerating their opinions.

I'm saying one of the parties being fascist is irrelevant to my point.

I'm not talking about criticizing someone for being in a specific party, I'm talking about criticizing someone for not being in a specific party.

It's not just Centrists who are "enlightened" given there are literally progressives (not all of them) who also back similar arguments and defends the argument of not voting. The "earn my vote", "Democrats don't do enough", and the roundabout "Democrats are as bad as Republicans" crowd. The ones that tend to also be Bernie supporters (again, not all Bernie supporters). The ones who tend to peddle the election was rigged against Bernie and that he didn't lose.

Like I think some need to get out of thinking it's only so called Centrists and Republicans, peddling that. There are definitely some non right leaners drinking the kool-aid that staying home 2024 and allowing Republicans to win is a great and valid plan to achieve left wing agendas.

It all boils down to not voting for Biden is essentially accepting or possibly even helping Trump become president.
