    If you’re not actively fighting against right-wing nationalism, then you’re complicit. Your inaction will give aid and comfort to the people that seek to do harm here. Or, in your case, in Canada. I saw how Trump infected your own right wing, and how the cancer has spread north of our border. Unless you’re okay with that consuming your country too, you better do everything in your power to fight against it, even when it means that you’re supporting some shit that might not like. Because voting is triage.

        I think that everyone here wants the genocide to end. But you, as a voter, do not have any choices that will immediately stop the genocide. Your choices are either a person that’s calling for a cease-fire, or a person that’s telling Israel to pick it’s pace up. Sitting it out means that the guy calling for more and faster genocide is much more likely to win, which means you’ve effectively voted for more effective genocide.

        You want real, lasting change? Start local, with city elections, and then moving them to state office, and up to national office.

      lol what you’re saying is insanity. If I don’t want to support right wing movements, I should support voting for a Democratic Party that is continuing to push things to the right?

      What utter nonsense.

        Let’s say you’re in Topeka, Kansas. You want to go east, to New York City. You’ve got one bus ticket to anywhere, and no other cash for a motel or plane ticket. There are only two buses, and you have to choose one of them. There are no other options; you can’t sleep in the station and hope that there’s another bus eventually, and walking to New York isn’t very reasonable. One of buses goes west, to Los Angeles. The other one is going north, to Minneapolis. Which bus are you getting on?

        That’s what your vote is.

        If you want to vote Republican, you’re going to be even farther from where you want to be, and it’s going to be harder to get to your destination. If you vote Democrat, you’re at least not moving the needle by much, which is the least-bad option that you have. Yes, there will be harm if Biden is elected. There will be far more harm if Trump is.

          Did they do this description on some popular liberal podcast recently or on some democrats meme page or something? Because you’re all parroting the exact same bullshit analogy to me every time.

          It’s the same thing that happened with Trump VS Hilary. The shaming leftists into supporting the democrats thing doesn’t work and will lose you an election. Time to try something different.

          Or don’t learn from your mistakes, I don’t give a fuck. Just stay out of the way of leftists when it’s time for actual change and they’re the ones actually fighting for it in your country, as usual.

      Biden is complicit.
