Rewriting the headling: "Most Americans Don't Understand Nuance."
Article body, summarized: "People are too stupid to understand that you can disagree with a candidate's stance but still recognize that they're a better choice than the fascist, sexist, predatory, federally indicted criminal."
News at 11.
Yep. It's like how you say "I'm voting for Harris but I don't like her track record of issues important to me, but she's not Trump and that's what matters." and people instantly harass you into being okay with fracking and murder.
I feel like a lot of this is Russian bots stirring shit up, Israel is the perfect thing to get people not to vote at all, which is exactly what they want, that's basically a vote for trump but people are either too privileged or stupid to realize it
Hey I'm voting for Harris, I just think its important to call out bad takes from anyone, including those who I vote for. I do it for my local and my federal offices. I email my republican congress members (they don't respond beyond the default robot reply) and I complain to my democratic senators.
Hell yeah brother. I'm also proud to be a part of the freest country in the universe. 👏More👏trans👏drone👏pilots👏
Genocide or fascism+genocide, pick one, because those are your two choices at the moment, and not picking counts as a vote for fascism+genocide
Grow up
I live in one of the reddest states in the country, my vote literally doesn't matter. Thanks democracy
Most people, regardless of nationality, don't understand nuance. That's why Winston Churchill once said that the biggest argument against democracy is talking to an average person for five minutes.
God damnit, I knew someone would do this. Case in point this is specifically about the American elections, therefore the nuanced implication refers to that.
Yes, this can be extended. But you're now being inclusive of the rest of the world's shortcomings for what? The article is about Chappell Roan and the morons bitching about her not endorsing Kamala. Not voters in the UK.
Typical American think their experience is the only universal truth and their group only matters in any discussion.
American exceptionalism never fails; as if Americans are the only ones getting the same problem.
I didn't argue against that. Nor was it the topic of the article. But go on...
Yours is a sentence that takes on 5 different meanings based on which word is stressed when spoken.
Also, you missed the nuance in what TD wrote. And that's high comedy this early in my morning.
Yet they deleted the parallel comment deriding me for being "Murikan," which seems to obviate any dual meaning. Anyway, enjoy the rest of your day.
Another correction of the headline:
