      I get where you are coming from, but just imagine what Kamala’s tweet would look like while announcing exactly the same intent, talking about the voices of Iranian protesters, women, and everything, stuff Trump says too mumbling abt the Mullahs, but consider the possibilities with a more refined Obama-like gleam to it. I can’t say I prefer the savagery of this white Obama but the Polymarket aura around him will make everything even worse in the best way

          I don’t think could stomach her Xanax laugh as Tehran goes out in a nuclear cloud, honestly. Not that trump doing it would be any better, there’s just no humour to find in any of this

        I just hate these fantasy scenarios as if it really matters who’s president. It’s annoying enough when liberals do it. From leftists I hope that they focus on the actual powers behind these atrocities which is not the president. I know you’re being ironic and it’s not a big deal, I just felt the need to voice my frustration. Though even ironically posting like that is doing free work for the libs who want to make every political conversation be about presidential elections.

          Fair! We could all hold ourselves to a higher standard of discussion. On that note I will, for at least two weeks, stop experimenting on your minds. Maybe when I come back I won’t want so much chaos

      I’m trying to reassure myself and everyone else we made the correct decision even from a harm reduction perspective. Democrats have historically been more hawkish.

        What is there to “reassure yourself” or everyone else of? You are under no obligation to vote for a genocide supporter, regardless if they are less or more hawkish.

          That I made the right call voting third party and thus providing solidarity to others. But. Applying the trolley problem, I’m still not convinced Trump was worse than Kamala even if the choice was simply between the two.

            The way i see it: if you want to ever get rid of the corporate duopoly you have in the US you cannot keep voting for it. The sooner people stop voting for either of two sides of the same imperialist uniparty coin the better.

              Well, we’re on good track then. Historically “did not vote” recieves more votes than any candidate.
