    As good as that video is, he ignores the strength elections have as damage control.

    Was supporting genocide “damage control?”

      Supporting the lesser evil is damage control. Yes, Harris is far from great, but Trump is far worse.

          That’s the question I answered.

          Which would you rather support?

          • Genocide
          • Genocide + fascism + other bad shit (probably including genocide 2)

          Pick one or give an alternative and a good reason that it will have some effect.

          The lesser evil in this situation is genocide without all the other shit, and supporting that is therefore damage control

            When a non-evil person reaches the conclusion that a government is unavoidably committing genocide, there next thought is “how can we bring about the end of this government?”, not “how can I maintain the good times for me personally?”. But Democrats are callous psychopaths.

            Also, it’s already fascism you ghoul.

            Sorry, I thought I made it clear. What Biden did when he supported genocide for you is not “damage control” even though you love him for it.

              A. Please tell me exactly where I said Biden was anything more than a mildly less shit alternative to Trump. And please tell me where I was saying support the genocide, rather than support one of the people who supports the genocide.

              B. I have not been talking about what Biden should have done. I have only been talking about what voters should have done.

                Welp, you just saw that “damage control” has a limit. People will stay home if they see insufficient difference between the two pro-genocide parties.

                I have only been talking about what voters should have done.

                This election should have taught you that you can’t control voters beyond giving them a reason to vote for you. Not being the other guy is not a good enough reason.

                Third parties are electable when they can do this better than the two major parties, and people stop buying into the propaganda you are spreading. They are a threat to the major parties that can only be realized if you vote for them.

                Except, not you, because you’re not an American voter, so why are you here again?
