Why did liberal "high IQ" redditors jump from reddit to lemmy? It seems they brought along all their users from Eglin Air Force Base.

I'm not from .ml, as you can see my account is over a year old, so it certainly wasn't to evade some clowns blocking specific instances to create their own hivemind. Which of my views is it that you don't tolerate? The one where I'm against anyone supporting genocide? I'm curious to know what you find intolerable about that.

There are two choices in the United States 2024 election. No third party stands a ghost of a chance of winning. No, not even if the 30,000 people you can reach on Lemmy all vote for Timothy Greenparty.
A Trump victory in 2024 would not only be just as bad if not worse for the citizens of Gaza than Harris would, but also pose an existential threat to a large number of vulnerable Americans (trans people, immigrants, women seeking abortions).
Given the margins of victory in 2016 and 2020, Kamala might not win if leftists don't vote for her.
Snoozing fascism for four years is better than inviting it through the door now, and buys us time to build our defenses for when it comes back.
Regardless of whether you do anything else to fight fascism or not, if you don't vote, or you vote third party, you raise the chances that a Hitler admirer will enter the white house.

I'd like to focus my counterargument. Which of these statements do you disagree with?
