Also, in b4 fascists start pretending like the Stalinist bootlicker Thalmann hadn’t spent the past half-decade backstabbing and burning bridges with the SPD, which had previously been cooperative with the KPD after the establishment of the Weimar Republic.

    You don’t have to justify and validate a genocide in order to vote for Harris. I am in a swing state. I will vote for Harris. But I won’t belittle and disparage anyone who chooses to vote third party or not vote because of the genocide. If she loses because of this adherence to a failed policy, that is on her, not the millions of voters who are deciding based on their perspectives and principles.

      “I am just a voter, I have no responsibility for my actions as a citizen in the polity I vote in” is such a compelling line. I wish I had the kind of privilege where I could pretend that decisions of the polity were as inconsequential as voting for my favorite color instead of something the lives of millions ride on.

          Yes, as we all know, one of the unique rights granted by citizenship in a polity is [checks notes] extralegal assassination.

              “Voting is a duty that we wield uniquely as citizens of a polity, and it is an act that has consequences, and should be taken seriously.”

              “By your logic, citizens have a duty to KILL”

              You may want to take a 101 class on logic.

                  “Voting is important and something with actual consequences.”

                  “I’m sure [recent attempted assassin] agrees with you.”

                  That you?

                    Vote Blue No Matter Who.

                    By absolving our politicians of any accountability and shutting down any critiques, we are allowing the democratic party to only continue chasing the Republican party to the right, and it still never ceases to amaze me that this continues to be denied.
