Nope, never said Trump was better, you're just trying to feel better about yourself.

I was right that you're too lazy to make any effort to change that, and deserve a Trump presidency for that.

Just so we're clear here, this whole argument has been about who the better candidate to vote for is. I made the prediction that the only two candidates who could possibly win were the Republican or the Democrat, and that the only way you could influence the election on November 5th was to vote for one of the two.

I was right, like I've been this entire time. If you don't think Trump is better than Biden (Harris, same diff), why did you let him get elected?

[–] goldenlocks 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Why did you let him get elected? You supported someone who couldn't even get any delegates in the Democratic primary, she was going to lose. So I supported a better option, as you should have.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I didn't let him get elected, I voted for the only other candidate that could have possibly won. I could have just not voted, but you get how that's worse, right?

So I supported a better option

The better option is a candidate who can't possibly win?

[–] goldenlocks 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yes you did, by not creating a better alternative. I was saying it since 2020 and I'll say it until 2028 and be correct the entire time.

It's your responsibility to make them win, stop being a lazy, submissive, defeatist

How exactly was I meant to create a better alternative on November 5th, while I was at the polling place?

[–] goldenlocks 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

By voting for the better alternative

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Which alternative? The only two people who could possibly have been elected as of November 5th were Harris or Trump. If you voted third party, you didn't vote. Do you think the Democrats even noticed the <1 million people who voted Stein?

[–] goldenlocks 1 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Obviously should have supported another candidate, and it's your responsibility that another candidate did not have more support, I gathered support for one, it's very simple to understand. You and the laziness of all liberals is the reason trump was elected

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

You gathered support for another candidate, you knew they were going to lose the election, and you voted for them anyway. And I'm the bad guy for voting Harris?

I'm sure the people of Palestine are very proud of your for standing up for your ideals even though it's going to cost them their entire civilization

[–] goldenlocks 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

You don't know they're going to lose unless you try, which you are advocating against.

Go fuck yourself you worthless trash person using children being bombed to death by Kamala and Biden right now to make yourself feel better. Fuck you

You don't know they're going to lose unless you try

I did, though. Remember? I called it months ago in this very thread

[–] goldenlocks 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

No, you instead advocated for genocide.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

Read it again.

No, we can say with absolute certainty that (barring any issues with mortality) either Trump or Biden will win this year. I assume others will vote for those two for the same reason I assume that the sun will rise tomorrow.

The two options were less genocide and more genocide, and you decided that letting more genocide happen is preferable to choosing less genocide. Don't tell me that I support genocide when you're willing to sacrifice the Palestinian people just to say "I didn't want you all to die! I voted third party!"

I hope, when you're in your twenties, you will have figured out that third party candidates are a waste of a vote. For the 1,460 days between elections, support the candidates you like. That's what I've done. But on the first Tuesday of November in 2028, look at the odds, and vote based on what is most likely to do the least harm. Being that 700,000th vote for Stein does nothing to help anyone, and you should know that.

doesn't matter how many times you read it you were wrong. you made absolutely zero effort in the past 4 years to make any decent candidate viable. you are 100% responsible for Trump

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I was wrong? Who won the election?

[–] goldenlocks 1 points 3 weeks ago

Yes you were wrong. The same people who won if your candidate was elected, the rich. You lost a long time ago, and have resorted to ignoring kids being bombed to justify your positions
