      2024 election results: Harris sweeps the nation after MAGA vote split due to rumours they could vote in actual Hitler instead of his imitator who couldn’t even properly burn down his own capital building.

    Not American, but “less worse than the other guy,” doesn’t seem like a winning argument to me.

      Seems like that argument has won thousands of elections all over the world. This guy “less worse” seems very popular and speaks a crazy amount of languages.

      How?

      I’m in NZ, we have a whole bunch of politicians to choose from, and it always comes down to who is the least likely to fuck things up beyond repair. It is not often that an objectively good candidate, everyone has their flaws.

      In this example the question is not is Harris an objectively good candidate, but is she objectively better than Trump?

      In my opinion yes, yes she is! Trump is the worst, the way he has emboldened the far right world wide is truly terrible.

      This is how FPTP elections work, unfortunately, and this will always be the case unless we switch to parliamentary system elected by proportional voting.

    Hate her because she was prosecutor but at least she’s not the undead monster that is Bo Jiden.

    Kamala is definitely a Hitler in a woman costume. Bitch openly laughs about forced labor and prison slavery. Fuck her in every orifice with sandpaper.

    trump is pretty braindead at this point. I’m pretty sure if he was beheaded he would keep talking for several days but wouldn’t make any less sense

      I was surprised by this comment… Until I saw you just joined here (probably from Reddit) where comments like that get upvoted by bots and it’s a echo chamber which has gone full stupidity as of late in many subs

      There’s literally no evidence of that.

      And the fact he has just endorsed a black woman for president makes it more ridiculous.

        One Hitler is attempting to make progress towards education, establishing renewables, fixing the failures of redlining, further investing in farming, protecting natural reserves, alleviate student debt, bring manufacturing state side, holding companies more accountable, having politicians that actually represent their constituents, having a focus on making medication more available and making fairly significant strides in funding for cancer research.

        And well, the other Hitler is attempting to become president for the rest of his life, bury the voices of minority and LGBT voices in the sand and preventing these people from holding cabinet positions, vying for corporate tax write-offs, and campaigning on literal hatred.

        But yeah, both sides are the same for us. None of it matters because both would participate in the war machine.

        Sorry, the idea that Trump would be better for Gaza is literally insane to me. He has said “finish the problem” in support of Israel, so, in fact, no he would not be better. He would be far, far worse. In literally every aspect imaginable. Side note: Biden has been criticized lately for not being present in cabinet meetings. Trump was literally not present at the same ones during his time in office. We are voting for the Presidential Cabinet, not just the President.

        Do we want someone like Betsy DeVoss for Secretary of Education again? Do we really want someone like Scott Pruit for the head of the EPA again? Like come on people, Biden sucks in so many ways but he has a cabinet that at least attempts to be beneficial for people like us. Queer politicians can actually feel safe having a job in the government, and the more of us that exist in politics the more change we can make.

        Edit: Wrote all this before learning Biden has dropped out. Wow!

      The truth is, you didn’t need to convince me. I think Biden is a monster. The meme is a set of jokes written in the voice of a mainstream American political pundit, not a genuine reflection of my personal attitudes.

      My personal attitudes are that every US president is a war criminal, and Biden, Bush, Cheney, and Blinken should be hauled off to the international criminal court.

      Dude fuck off, I’m sorry but there is no viable “tell Israel to get fucked” candidate. Biden isn’t bombing Gaza personally, the US military isn’t bombing Gaza. The GOP has showed they staunchly want to see it escalate and wipe Gaza off the map completely, this is a holy proxy war for them. Israel and its genocide has overwhelming support in US politics. None of this makes it right, but it does make it not a relevant issue in this presidential race.

        It’s nice to see that some people will morally compromise for “just a little genocide”, either enacted or enabled (which is functionally the exact same). Must be so convenient and freeing to be so absent the weight of a conscience.

          It must be so freeing to live a life so simple and ignorant that you think your little world can be zero harm and morally perfect while living a lifestyle that would be remotely sustainable for the world. The world is a big and scary place and a democracy is made up of a myriad of perspectives on the world. We all do the best we can with the choices we have. To pretend that we can accomplish anything by refusing to participate in an imperfect system is absurd fantasy.

          By all means protest, organize etc toward noble goals. But don’t act like “both candidates bad, myeh” is a real stance.

            If both candidates support genocide then my moral line in the sand is crossed, no reasonable person who’s against genocide can vote for either. But if genocide is on your list of ok things, then I’m sure it’s a very complicated issue for you.

            Don’t worry, your mother and I will teach you about the basics about morality when you’re an adult.

              This is pretty fundamental trolley problem stuff. If one choice kills 10 million and the other choice kills 5 million but protects the other 5 million, you refusing to participate entirely isn’t a noble stand, it’s saying you don’t give a shit about the other 5 million.

              I care too much about these vulnerable people to help these other vulnerable people while not actually helping the other vulnerable people is just being an idiot.
