  • Again, you’re treating both options as if they were equally bad, and they are most certainly not.

    You say that both will result in the deaths of innocent people, but you completely ignore the scale. It’s like if you had to choose between being punched in the face once, or every day for the rest of your life, you would choose neither, because you don’t want to be punched in the face, but while you’re standing on your soapbox protesting face punching, the election rolled on, the worse option won by a handful of votes, and now you’re going to be punched in the face every day, regardless of what you wanted.

    If Trump wins, and you think that you can absolve yourself of any responsibility for what he will do in Gaza, or Ukraine, or for any other suffering resulting from his callous narcissism, then you’re just fooling yourself. If trump wins, I will have no sympathy whatsoever for people who refused to vote, out of some sad idea of holding themselves to their principles, while at the same time allowing a literal fascist to take power.

    I’m heading to bed now.



  • Perhaps ‘common sense’ was a poor choice of terminology there, because it’s often far from common, or sensible, and I suspect your idea of common sense would differ from mine. in any case.

    That said, what I meant by the term was that if you look at the bigger picture, instead of fixating on one aspect, you’ll see that there are so many other factors to consider here - woman’s rights, lgbtq recognition, racism, sexism, work class quality of life, minimum wage, unions, and so much more, and that every single one of those would become worse under a trump presidency, for everyone except methheads with guns, and the disgustingly-wealthy. I’m going to assume that you’re not in either of those groups.
