Fair enough, trump's guys aren't coming for me first, they are coming for the Gaza protesters, they are coming for abortion rights, LGBTQ+ rights, they are coming exactly for the rights of people refusing to vote for Biden...it's sort of ironic.

"Vote for my guy or I'll let Trump kill you"

This is a hostage situation.

If I had a vote, I'd be voting for the guy stopping trump from killing you, what else do you want me to do, if even you won't help yourselves in the simplest way possible?

Trump lost the popular vote the last time he won because America isn't a democracy. I voted against him twice, and the second time I voted against Trump to "stop fascism" all I got for my vote was a fucking genocide.

I want you to stop victim blaming. Our only choices are between polite Hitler and rude Hitler, you don't know enough about American politics to even understand how fucked we are.

Oh, I understand more than I'd like to have to, the far right all over the world follows the US circus as their script, with complete liberal complacency.

Okay, just remember that polite Hitler is doing a genocide, and the liberals around the world are right there beside him.

I'll give Biden one thing: his support for genocide has managed to sink the USs international reputation even further and delegitimize it's bogus "rules based international order" so badly that now even Mexico is joining the case against Israel in the ICJ. He's goose stepping the US right off a cliff along with his closest allies, he's practically the accelerationist choice, and the only alternative is just worse in all sorts of different and stupid ways.

Hopefully my death is quick and painless.

"Polite hitler" doesn't encourage his groupies to go kill minorities with judicial impunity, shut up with that, it's like you have nothing to lose, but you have a lot left to lose. There is an objective difference, even if they were the same underneath, by setting an example of abhorrence and dogwhistles for their minions to follow in his country and abroad.

Pro-Israel groupies are attacking student encampments and getting away with it.

The difference is that polite Hitler doesn't openly provoke those attacks. He just quietly enables and protects them.

Alright, good luck with that!

You are enabling, your making the unacceptable choice. No candidate has any more privilege than another. Your making up a narrative, your being dishonest and your goal is cause harm.
