    I didn’t make the meme. Here’s the source https://www.instagram.com/p/DAteqleycPb/

    If Trump was front and center and Harris was a tiny picture of her in the corner, then you’d be fine with this meme?

    And yes, both sides are shit. Just because one side is “less shitty” doesn’t mean they’re not still shit.

      One side being “less shitty” in this case is essentially comparing a stubbed toe to brain cancer. Sure, no one wants either, but if you’re told that you’re getting one or the other- no one with any common sense is picking cancer. And no- not choosing isn’t an option. If you chose neither, one is chosen for you….

      Because that is how voting works.

      So no… They’re demonstrably NOT the same. You know this. EVERONE knows this. And your attempt to simplify them both down to one example so you can equate in this way illustrates the bad faith nature of this type of ideology.

      Do better man.

          I’ve seen this explained to you time and time again so I’m not going to exercise any futility in attempting it again. You refuse to listen to anyone and think you know everthing.

          You don’t.

          So your bad faith genocide accusations are falling flat with me.

            Vote against Trump. Everybody should. But you can still acknowledge the Dems are committing genocide.

              They’re not. And this has been explained to you.

              A simple example for ya:

              A junkie is outside of a store and asks you for money. You know he’s buying heroin, but you give it to him anyway.

              Did you just do heroin?

              Another example:

              We have a legally binding agreement that dates back decades with a country that has been at war with another country officially since 1948 but their bad blood goes back a century or so. Knowing that the agreement is incredibly complicated, and requires a shit-ton of knowledge on foreign policy that you don’t understand, and nuanced thinking which you don’t possess,

              What makes you think you have any ground to cast aspersions at people who know how this actually works?

              Follow up:

              Knowing that this has been explained to you MANY times, with factual data to support everything said and shown- you still disregard it…

              how on earth do you do this and think anyone here is taking you seriously?

                  This is the last time I’m going to bother explaining anything to a leftist. I’ll just be calling out your bullshit and moving on.

                  Nowhere in what I said is there to be found any justification for genocide. And you are well aware of this. I’m just simply illustrating examples of why it’s so ignorant to blindly accuse people of things you have shown to have no willingness to even try and understand.

              In an American-style single-ballot-plurality wins election, anything but a vote for ons of two leading candidates is effectively an endorsement of either.

              It sucks, but if you’re not voting and advocating for Harris, you’re not voting or advocatong against Trump.

          Are multiple genocides worse than one genocide?
