No you just want everyone you disagree with to be labelled as evil and genocidal. You know not everyone is evil, right? Im sure we agree on a lot, but this trying to pin genocidal love on people is very annoying, and extremely EXTREMELY counter-productive.
Dont reverse Westboro yourself. Im sure you have a better way to express yourself. Put away the rage beatstick.

The comment you’re replying to doesn’t even mention genocide.
I know that candidates who refuse to stop selling weapons for an ongoing genocide are evil. It’s explicit in the phrase “lesser evil.”
I mean, you don’t have to keep defending candidates that support genocide. But as I said before, the comment you’re replying to doesn’t even mention genocide. The top-level comment it’s in response to doesn’t mention it either, and neither does the comic that the top-level comment was in response to.
None of this changes my assertion that second worst is not enough to win. That’s not purity testing or encouraging people not to vote. That’s looking at the strategy employed by the democrats and pointing out that it failed. Doing the same thing next time will also fail. The party needs to change. The electorate won’t.

Im not and havent supported or defended pro-genocide people. My original point is that you cant magically fingerwaggle a perfect person into existence. Stopping excess damage with a person we can actually speak english to at a level above a kindergardener, and can be reasoned with via protest if necessary.
Not insane people are probably easier to talk to, yeah?
Being so abrasive makes others want to vote less. You are actively making people less likely to vote.

I’m tired of the insinuation that anyone who wants “not shitty all the time” is demanding perfection.
No matter how much contempt you have for the voters, they’re still the only voters you have to work with. The electorate just showed you that second worst loses.
