      That is some twisted mental gymnastics.

      American munitions are being used to rip apart Gazan children as we speak. Biden supports it. Trump supports it.

      People who vote for Biden are supporting it. People who vote for Trump are supporting it.

      The only ones who aren’t supporting it are the people voting third-party.

        Sorry that looking at the actual consequences of one’s actions and not “What I want to happen” is twisted mental gymnastics to you.

          No, you’re trying to make me responsible for other people’s actions, and that is fucked up.

          If Trump wins, that is the fault of the people who voted for Trump.

          If you want to use mental gymnastics to blame it on other people, why not say it’s Biden’s fault for supporting genocide.

            No, I’m making you responsible for your own actions in voting to allow fascism. Sorry that you think that’s fucked up. Maybe you can try not voting to allow fascism.

              Is this the Democrats’ strategy? Acting entitled, as if they’re owed votes, and any voter who wants better is a traitor?

              Good luck with that strategy.

                Oh, you ‘wanted better’, cool, that will really comfort us vulnerable minorities when we’re herded into death camps and Israel is given a blank check for their ongoing genocide. Your intentions matter MUCH more than their consequences, mea culpa.

                Democrats aren’t entitled to your vote. If you want to support fascism, that’s your right under a democratic system. Just don’t ask for asspats for your fascist-supporting bullshit from people who are actually working against fascism.

                  Your scaremongering hypotheticals are not going to distract me from the actual genocide I can see unfolding in front of us.

                    Your scaremongering hypotheticals

                    I’m glad you’re privileged enough that fascism is just a ‘scaremongering hypothetical’ to you.

                    are not going to distract me from the actual genocide I can see unfolding in front of us.

                    You already seem pretty distracted from the actual genocide going on, considering that you’re openly advocating for letting the “Finish The Job” types accumulate control over the government because [checks notes] voting for harm reduction wouldn’t be as satisfying as voting for self-aggrandizement and total genocide of the Gaza Strip.
