    Republicans would vote for the corpse of Trump before even considering not making a terrible decision. I cannot believe that this election is this close. It’s mind boggling that the outcome is currently a toss up between Nazi spray tan confused grandpa and middle road politician.

        Bruh I know the Overton window in the US is megafucked but she’s literally one of our most liberal politicians by voting record, she is not “firmly right wing” by any reasonable standard

          She’s in favor of a fascist border policy against asylum seekers, a firm supporter of the fascist Zionist entity known as Israel, and wants to appoint members of the fascist party to her cabinet if she wins. She’s been endorsed by architects of the Iraq war and the US torture program.

          California’s top cop is right-wing.

            Don’t mistake me for a Kamala Harris apologist- she is absolutely a huge centrist in her presidential campaign. I am tired of this false equivalency with the total fascist ilk she’s running against. It’s not useful and it’s dishonest.

                I hate to be pedantic but that’s almost exactly the definition of a centrist, someone who collaborates with both sides (even if one of those sides is fascist, genocidal, racist, etc.). And again, I don’t disagree, it’s a bad thing to be for exactly that reason. But it’s also a different thing than being explicitly a right wing authoritarian fascist like Trump is.

                  A centrist collaborates with the right and left (mostly the right), but fascists are to the right of the right. They’re far right, which is a distinct grouping from ordinary right-wing ideology. Fascist collaboration requires becoming right-wing, just to meet them halfway.

              If you find yourself agreeing with Dick Cheney on politics you might want to rethink your positions.

              He doesn’t like Trump because he’s a destabilizing element. He agitates the masses against him and does stupid shit for no reason that makes allies and adversarie alike stop trusting the US. He’s bad for business.

              Harris will be good for the empire. That’s it.

                What if you find yourself agreeing with Repubs that you should vote for third parties over a Dem? Or is that different because saying so doesn’t support the pro-MAGA campaigning you are here for?

                  Republicans clearly prefer that people not vote at all, which is why they have put so much effort and money into disenfranchisement.

                    No, let’s focus on the question, thanks. They want left-leaning people who are voting to do exactly what you plan to do. Does that mean you should rethink your positions? I mean, obviously not, you’re a MAGA campaigner. But in the context of your cosplay?

                    Somehow MAGA is worse than even Dick Cheney at this point and you are choosing to align with MAGA against the Dems. Meanwhile red-faced and screeching that Harris is accepting support from a former VP who has sway with people who might actually vote.

                If Dick Cheney told you he thought wearing a seatbelt was a good idea, you’d argue against him because clearly an idea is bad if a bad person has it.

                Evaluate an argument on its merits, regardless of who endorses it.

                  Obviously he’s not, like, a chaos demon. He presumably eats human food and all that.

                  But he’s a monster and should be in prison, not giving endorsements. This is like being endorsed by Anders Brevik or some shit.

                  She should have rejected the endorsement. Instead she’s embracing him. It’s disgusting.
