Just putting this up to contrast with this post and because Eli Valley is a great political cartoonist.

    Sure, you don’t have to do it if you don’t mind fascism and not getting to vote ever again.

    As for everyone who ISN’T a fascism enabler, though? Bit of a moral imperative.

      Pretty fucking depressing that the anti fascism vote is also the keep supporting genocide vote. It’s a trolley problem but one track only has foreigners tied to it so we’re supposed to cheer for that option I guess

        One track has Palestinians tied to it, the other track has more Palestinians tied to it, Ukrainians and probably others tied to it, AND American minorities by the bushel.

        If you’re looking for a point in history when there wasn’t someone getting hit by the trolley, you’ll be looking a while. We have to find the choice that is most achievable and least damaging.

          Sounds like I should do what’s best to send a message to the Democrats in an effort to steer them away from being murderous then, since people are going to die either way and there is no winning with this single election. Thanks!

            Nice work, good job on murdering as many minorities as you can because… people are going to die anyway, so it may as well be as many as possible?

            And fascist simps like you wonder why you’re disdained by so many.

              I’m just following your logic and finding the action that has the best long-term effect.

              People are going to die anyway, right? That’s just history, right?

                Killing as many minorities as possible and ushering in fascism is the best long-term effect in your mind?

                Yeah, that tracks. You keep simping for fascism, bud.

                  No, turning away the Democrats from having killing as a policy is.

                  As you say, people are going going to die anyway “that’s just reality” and I have to vote for a fascist if I vote for anyone. May as well cast an Uncommitted and punish the party that should be anti-genocide but isn’t currently.

                    “And punish the party” by… giving power to fascists?

                    You… you think that the electoral victory of the far-right will push the overton window… left?

                    Are you dumb, or just pretending to be?

                    Congrats, we’ll be in line in the concentration camps together. I’m sure you’ll be loudly crying out “AT LEAST I DIDN’T VOTE FOR THE DEMONRATS” as the showers turn on for us.
