I'm not having that argument again. I understand the position that they were equally bad, and I support the rights of folks who couldn't vote for either of them because of that. But while I do acknowledge that US imperialism is not just a meme, I had to work with what I was given, and that was bad or less bad. I chose less bad.
I respect that others saw it differently and that's all I have to say on the matter.
I don't. Every single day proves that over and over again. I understand being an idealistic young person with no practical experience, but in those situations the intelligent thing to do is to listen to people and not triple-down on the GRU playbook.
Those who are neither idealistic or young, who couldn't be arsed to do the one thing that would have helped defeat fascism need to understand what a fuckup they are.
Exceedingly well put, I don't know why that simple little bit of understanding is so impossible for some Harris supporters
Thanks! This topic is a sticky one, it's easy to get angry (and I have) when everyone has good intentions and those good intentions seem to conflict. I've probably been a jerk about it in the past, and in the moment I might be again in the future, but I try to see where folks are coming from when I can.
