Brutal. You have to support the one who kills half of your children because the other one will kill all of them.
Lol no i dont. Id be going after both of them.
You'd vote for both of them? That wouldn't work out well in your favor, they'd just throw the ballot out.
no, I'd 'go after' them. not vote, not support, actively fight against. as i am doing now.
you: 'Excuse me dear these two murders are running for office, I have to let one of them murder our children' jfc you poor soul.
Tell me you don’t understand the concept of harm reduction without telling me you don’t understand the concept of harm reduction.
yawn tired trope. there are other levers to pull for reducing essentially every other harm. its clear you dont understand how to effectively leverage your vote to reduce harm and are supportive of a genocide. congrats i guess?
Let me know when you're no longer a willing participant in a genocide and then we can talk about harm reduction.
You need to look at game theory.
The only two candidates that matter if Harris and Trump, and you'll realize that the only candidate that makes sense to vote for is Harris
oh god another game theory twat. lord please spare me another childish lecture. 😮💨
You don't even know the game. Which you may wish to know is an important aspect of game theory. so spare me the trivialities of your intellect.
Abuses everyone he disagrees with (including his own teachers).. Reminds me of someone I know (rhymes with Dump).
Also, did someone on Fox News happen to use the word "dunce" recently. 2 years you guys were calling everyone "snowflakes" or whatever.. and it seems like now, you guys have started using this word
People like you will either always vote right wing (and lie), or sit on the fence and find problems with EVERY candidate so you don't need to make a decision (because you like abusing people, and you'll ultimately find problems with every candidate).
Stop gaslighting everyone. They're not the same. The fact that you think a convicted rapist/tax cheat/person who incites violence directly, is exactly the same as someone who helped convict people like him, i'd argue is why your professor probably doesn't like you either (and probably graded you as such).
I’m as much a willing participant in the genocide as anyone else who intends to vote, unfortunately in the USA right now we are the way we are.
I can vote for the party that has people willing to address the elephant in the room, literally anything else is being a more willing participant.
Anyways, get fucked.
Daily. 🤗 Dont worry harris will still win here. But maybe adding my vote to the pile here has convinced my local reps to consider withholding israel support in the future . Hopefully you can do the same.
But its likely you're Happy harris is bombing innocents.
How would you leverage your vote in this instance?
You: "I don't like these two candidates so I'm going to do everything I can to ensure the worst one wins!"
I'm going to ensure people know they are other options than voting for genocide. if harris loses to fucking trump as a result, that's her fault not mine. learn to place blame were it properly belongs: On the person committed to a genocide. I didnt force her down this path. I didnt force you down this path. You and her choose it willingly.
Let me know when you're willing to stop supporting a genocide and then we can talk.
I haven't heard of any viable option, so you've failed. The only way to accomplish what you want to accomplish, what we all want to accomplish, is to elect enough local politicians that support massive electoral overhaul to disrupt the two party system. FPtP and winner-take-all must go, but we're never gonna get there by throwing our votes away to unviable third parties. In the meantime, we do the best with what we have and we let logic rule our decisions, not emotion. Try it!
Viable isnt the goal. The goal is to withholding support for genocidal candidate keep up.
You can absolutely do that by supporting 3rd party candidates.
Hey it's cool you can just say you support Trump, no need for the extra steps.
Hey its cool you support genocides! no need for the extra steps.
