    Kind of bad of you to be trying to guilt people into voting for the genocide guy on the basis of their marginalized status, that or it’s like you’re making a threat.

      Fuck off. You’re not being persecuted by Lemmy comments. Actual persecution would involve what Donald Trump wants to do to multiple minorities.

        You’re just intentionally misinterpreting what I’m saying. You are trying to browbeat me into voting for a genocide, with the threat of what the ‘bad cop’ will do. I’ve been trying to communicate why I (and many others) have an issue with Biden, and you’re incapable of registering that.

        Makes me sick tbh

          Your comment history is public. You’re pushing your agenda on other people too.

          You already told me Joe Biden would be the best president. If you don’t vote accordingly, then you’re a hypocrite, and you can no longer pretend to be the pure leftist you are trying to be.

          And if we all get sent to the gas chambers, your purity isn’t going to do anything for you.

          You can save your offense for the genuinely evil people, rather than a fellow leftist trying to make the world better for everyone, including people like you who are content with consuming apathy… Exactly how the fascists want you to be.

            Voting is not stopping anyone from the gas chambers, the fact that we can’t even get the ‘lesser evil’ to stop contributing to this genocide should make that clear.

            I’m not convinced you’re a “leftist”

              Let’s address that first set of scare quotes. Have you changed your opinion about Joe Biden since you last told me he was the better choice for president, or are you simply dropping a mask?

              What is stopping people from the gas chambers, pray tell? Is it you? Given a Weimar vote, would you say Hitler was no more evil than any other option?

                If the lesson you took from that was that everyone should vote for Hindenburg then you definitely missed something.

                It takes people with guns to stop fascists.

                I believed Biden was the lesser evil 4 years ago, I’m amused by the title now.

                  Okay, so were you lying earlier, or are you lying now? Because you can’t hold two contradictory opinions.

                  If you believe Trump is a fascist, and you believe Biden is as bad as Trump, you are sitting on your butt LARPing about armed revolution.

                  How deep does the hypocrisy go?

                    I don’t think Biden is less evil than Trump, but I would rather have him win because the token social shit he does makes life slightly more bearable.

                    That’s why it’s funny to call him the “lesser” evil, they’re both comically evil old pieces of shit, but this one’s more willing toss me some token ‘rights’ while he carries out his genocides of my brothers and sisters abroad. Maybe you can live with that, but I’m not alone in finding that deeply uncomfortable.

                    I don’t think I would feel comfortable organizing with a ‘leftist’ like you, frankly. I prefer serious people.
