      the whole “fascism is ok as long as it affects me none” is so goddamn tiring.

      i really hope you never have to experience it, but people like you really do not learn any other way it seems.

      • The world is an awfull place with bad people doing bad things and good people dying unnessasarilly. U see the way i see the world all people are equal and thus all lives are equal and thus all deaths are equal. Therefore it would logically follow that the thing causing the most death is the primary concern. As of present that would be the 1.8million people dying of the preventable disease tuberculosis every year.

        The whole “slow painfull death by disease is ok as long as it affects me none” is so goddamn tiring.

          my guy, your argument was “both sides bad”. when i pointed out how accepting fascism is really not the slippery slope we should be riding down, your counter argument is tuberculosis? where does that play in your original argument? did trump promise to solve the worlds tuberculosis problem and i somehow missed it?

          yes obviously tuberculosis is bad, so are plethora of other preventable diseases; as is world hunger, lack of clean drinking water, shelter, etc.

          trying to use my words against me would work if your argument made any sense, but at best it boils down to whataboutism, and at worst, smells of burnt toast.

          get some help.

          • I figured you could figure out where it fits in, but don’t worry, I’ll explain it for you. It performs one simple purpose. That being to point out how u dont actually care about things not effecting you as you tried to accuse me of.

            At best u accusing me of not caring about fascism boils down to whataboutism or at worse its a strait up bad faith insult.

              again, another whataboutism argument.

              i should’ve known your bad faith arguments wouldn’t improve as the discussion went on. if you want to have a rational conversation, i’ll be right here.

              until then.

          Find one person who supports tuberculosis. This is an insane argument and honestly complete nonsense.

          There is 100% going to be more deaths under Trump. So by your own argument he is worse.

      Nice one, are you actually 12?

      Our choices were status quo (sending bombs and finger wagging) or fascism (turning Gaza to glass and bulldozing it so that Israel can complete their genocide and take the land for themselves). The country chose fascism. If you’re saying Trump is better in this regard, then you need to work on your critical thinking skills.

          You can’t even spell hypocrite, so I don’t believe you know what that word means.

          And no, Trump has frequently said that he’ll actively help end the war in Gaza (but not through peace). He is going to help wipe them off of the map. It’s not just “no finger wagging”. It’s scorched earth, and for some reason you find that “entertaining”.

            U know thats a false claim cos id imagine ur bright enough to use to context clues to figure out im right

            And no, Trump has frequently said that he’ll actively help end the war in Gaza (but not through peace). He is going to help wipe them off of the map. It’s not just “no finger wagging”. It’s scorched earth

            Kamala would also help wipe them off the map just she would pretend thats shes unhappy about it while symultaniously using american assets to drop bombs.

            and for some reason you find that “entertaining”.

            No i find ur country having a meltdown like a toddler over someone being democraticly ellected by the majourity of ur citizens entertaining.

              Yes, you’ve already established that you can’t comprehend chosing the “least bad” option and that you find fascism entertaining to witness. Do you have anything of substance to add or are you just going to keep saying the same thing?

          While it’s true they both sucked in this regard. Trump will definitely be a lot worse. So not voting dem for that reason is ridiculous.

          And it’s far from the only thing this election was about.
