Just because voting doesn’t matter in the way it’s advertised doesn’t mean it actually has no effect whatsoever. It does. Just not the one we was told. That means not to rely on voting as the be all end all, but recognizing at times we can shift things ever so slightly away from the worst case scenario.
As for reduction, it doesn’t require biden to do anything other than not make things worse than trump would. You answered the question. You believe that harm reduction as in, avoiding a worse outcome of an already bad outcome isn’t worth it. If you can’t have good, there’s no point stopping the worst. I do not understand that stance, besides being blinded to material outcome by anger. I do understand anger. I feel it with you. I just cannot allow that anger to put people on a sacrificial block they don’t have to be on.
I pain for the palastinians. I cannot express that enough. But right now, with the methods readily available to us, I believe that trump would ruin more of their lives too. I can’t be so angry as to remove myself from the outcome and pretend that it wasn’t my fault.

Are you illiterate or are you deliberately putting words in my mouth? I am saying that the two candidates are the same. They are equally shit. They’re both terrible. They’re both horrendously harmful in a way that cannot be quantified as one being 0.2% worse or some dumbass take like that.
Just because voting doesn’t matter in the way it’s advertised doesn’t mean it actually has no effect whatsoever.
I do not think voting matters since they both suck. You think voting matters. I am presenting you the logical conclusion to your belief. If voting matters and has the effect which you believe it does, then you believe that representative democracy functions. If you believe that, then you are to vote for a representative, not 0.2% less Hitler.
I pain for the palastinians. I cannot express that enough.
You don’t. You’re fine with them being massacred. Fuck you you racist piece of shit.
I feel it with you.
You obviously do not, you’re living a comfortable life void of empathy for the suffering of others. If you had that empathy you wouldn’t argue that Joe Biden is a harm reduction candidate because he very obviously isn’t.
I just cannot allow that anger to put people on a sacrificial block they don’t have to be on.
No you can just allow immigrant children, women’s bodily autonomy, the climate, Palestinians, people of colour, trans people, the poor, ukrainians, houthis, Yemenis, and everyone else who isn’t directly in your comfortable bubble to be a sacrificial block.
When they come for you there will be no one left to cry out, but they will come for you.
There is no point talking anymore. You are angry and resorted to insulting. I understand your anger. I share it with you. I genuinely do. Above all else, understand that.
In the end, neither your nor my actions will do anything at all. Me convincing your or you convincing me has no effect on anything but each other. Understand, please, on my own morals of wanting the least amount of people to suffer at any given time, i just believe less would suffer under Biden. That is enough for me to be unable to not vote.
I’m sorry this has driven us to this angry place. But as a comrade, which we both are, I love you. We are on the same side. Have a good rest of your day friend.
Oh no I insulted you! Oh no did I hurt your feelings? Do you need to have your boo boos kissed?
I understand your anger. I share it with you. I genuinely do. Above all else, understand that.
You genuinely do not. You started out by saying you did not understand. You do not share it with me, because you are fine with voting for a fascist (your words not mine) who is enacting a genocide. If you shared my anger, you would not be fine with that.
In the end, neither your nor my actions will do anything at all.
You’re right, voting for Biden will not do anything at all.
Understand, please, on my own morals of wanting the least amount of people to suffer at any given time.
I understand that you’re a self centered piece of shit that only perceives suffering when it might happen to you. Understand that exactly the same amount of suffering will happen under both presidents, you just don’t care because you do not have morals or empathy no matter how much your empty words proclaim otherwise.
But as a comrade, which we both are, I love you.
Fuck you. No fascist genocider is a comrade of mine. If I met you at a protest I would beat the shit out of you because you would be standing shoulder to shoulder with Nazis and cops You do not get to say that you are fine with genocide, climate collapse, the suppression of people of colour, revokations of abortion, implementations if anti-trans laws, pointless wars and massacres, more money to fascists, more border walls, more fascist border policy, more persecution and then call me a comrade. You are not a comrade, you are a fascist sympathiser.
Inb4 their “So much for the tolerant left, now that you’ve scratched me, I have no choice but to abandon leftism entirely and become pro-fascist!” response.
Oh yeah, I just meant their next response will be the typical “left lib” thing of “waah! You were mean to me on the internet! I was going to hold my nose and vote for a genocidal fascist and feel really bad about it, but now I’m going to do it with pride and support his every action because you were mean to me!” thing they always do in this situation after they try their condescending “let’s just be friends” thing they do.
Hahaha yeah probably, either that or they’ll continue to try this “high road” act, as if being rude is somehow more transgressive than cheap rhetorical tricks and, you know, being pro-genocide.
I was extremely uncivil to them in my last reply, so they’re likely to high road for a bit because I got mad about them insisting that voting for genocide is ok if it means only 999,999 people killed instead of 1,000,000.
Because genocide is one of those things we should just calmly talk about the pros and cons of, instead of opposing entirely.
I’ve sometimes wondered what a lot of self proclaimed “leftists” would’ve done under Nazi Germany, and now I know. They would’ve insisted on voting for the “harm reduction” Nazi.

I am not your friend. Eat shit and die.

They already wrote they were pro fascist lol. They agreed biden was a fascist, but they’ll still vote for him.
Oh yeah, I just meant their next response will be the typical “left lib” thing of “waah! You were mean to me on the internet!

Fuck off. They’re going to have to invent a new insult because I can’t think of one bad enough to call you.
Fuck you and everyone reading this since I’m sure you’re screen capping a bunch of these and posting them in whatever fash hellhole you come from
Fuck you and I hope you reap the consequences of your shitty politics faster than the rest of us.
