Comment on An independent voter explains why they chose a moronic, oligarcho-fascist demagogue over Joe Biden (c. November 2020) [Day 58]

  No.

  I’m being an adult that accepts the reality I live in.

  In that reality there is basically no scenario where America gives up its most important long-term ally in the Middle East over a never-ending religious conflict they’re having with someone else.

  So, being that’s the reality we live in, I can determine that the situation is INFINITELY better off in the hands of one party than the other. So I voted for that party to mitigate the damage that we’re now going to see due to a bunch of idiots that didn’t want to accept the reality they lived in and ended up making the very thing they cared about worse.

  I also voted for that party because I’m not a moron single issue voter and I know there’s a lot else at stake right here at home.

    I asked three questions. Which one are you saying no to?

      I asked what specifically you had an issue with, and gave three possibilities. Which one are you saying no to?

      I said “no” because I mean NO to all three. I’m not typing it 3 times for you. You are not important enough to me to say no to each of your questions. You get one no, because I utterly disagree with you, in a sweeping manner.

      Genocide is not infinitely better than genocide.

      Sure it is, when the alternative is a WORSE genocide. Are you so simple that you can’t grasp that death and lots more death are different things with different degrees of severity? You keep saying hefty words like “evasion” and “delusional”, but you’re an individual that can’t tell the difference between a person that expresses their disapproval directly to the person committing a horrific act and a person that says “full steam ahead” to that person. So I’m going to use a hefty word on you. Ignorant.

      Again - genocide is not a “single issue”.

      Yes, it actually, literally is.

      It shows that on the spectrum of morality, a politician is at absolute zero.

      Yes. The world is black and white. There are no shades of grey. To simpletons.

      If war crimes, or what you perceive to be war crimes, remove a candidate from contention for you, then you’d never vote for another president, ever. Very mature stance you’ve taken there.

      If you vote for someone like that, no much how much anguish you supposedly subject yourself to while you’re doing it, you’re a fool and a useful idiot at best

      Or you’re simply an adult trying to make sure the significantly worse option doesn’t become reality.

      But you, you are simply someone sitting on the fence, dishing out morality from what you believe is your high horse.

      Because your alternative to voting for 2 “genociders” is to either not vote or vote 3rd party, which are unquestionably stupid things to do. Why? Because not voting is profoundly stupid. And voting for a 3rd party that CANNOT win, is also profoundly stupid. The 3rd party candidate with the most votes only got half of a single percentage of the total votes. A 3rd party CAN NOT WIN.

      So excuse me if I’m tired of listening to someone pretending they’re a moral authority while contributing absolutely nothing to the situation, at all.

        Just more black-hearted defense of genocidal politicians. Shame on you.
