    Inb4 their “So much for the tolerant left, now that you’ve scratched me, I have no choice but to abandon leftism entirely and become pro-fascist!” response.

        Oh yeah, I just meant their next response will be the typical “left lib” thing of “waah! You were mean to me on the internet! I was going to hold my nose and vote for a genocidal fascist and feel really bad about it, but now I’m going to do it with pride and support his every action because you were mean to me!” thing they always do in this situation after they try their condescending “let’s just be friends” thing they do.

          Hahaha yeah probably, either that or they’ll continue to try this “high road” act, as if being rude is somehow more transgressive than cheap rhetorical tricks and, you know, being pro-genocide.

            I was extremely uncivil to them in my last reply, so they’re likely to high road for a bit because I got mad about them insisting that voting for genocide is ok if it means only 999,999 people killed instead of 1,000,000.

            Because genocide is one of those things we should just calmly talk about the pros and cons of, instead of opposing entirely.

            I’ve sometimes wondered what a lot of self proclaimed “leftists” would’ve done under Nazi Germany, and now I know. They would’ve insisted on voting for the “harm reduction” Nazi.

              They would’ve insisted on voting for the “harm reduction” Nazi.

              And, apparently, then they’d insist we were still comrades and say they are being “othered” when they are refused that label.

                Figures they love Joe Biden so much, they seem to think that loyalty is something given automatically without question instead of something earned.
