I wonder if your standard works both ways. If I characterized your side as saying, "I voted for Kamala because I love watching Israel kill babies," and then was completely incapable of providing evidence that anyone saying anything like that, would you say that I was only "technically [in]correct, in a way that would make Hermes Conrad blush?" I doubt it.

Sure, it would be incorrect to totally mischaracterized Harris voters as "[loving] watching Israel kill babies." That's not really analogous to itsonlygeorge's comment, since our whole argument has been 'Trump will let Israel kill more babies, so we should stop him however we can' and the anti-electoralists' whole argument has been 'both candidates will let Israel kill babies, so it's better to let the greater evil win than vote for the lesser evil'

Like, you guys got what you want. Harris lost, just like you wanted.

Right, as expected, you're perfectly fine with flimsy strawmen so long as they're targeting our side and not yours, very blatant double standard.

There are no sides anymore. Just fascists. You know who loses? We the people. The rich oligopolists win.

Lol. You say that now after accusing people like me of being pro-Trump.

Punches someone in the face "Woah woah, let's not get crazy or anything, we're all friends here, let's just all calm down."
