I'm excited to have a new social media platform to not know what to do with. Interests: cats, anime, FFXIV, disney, random other stuff.

There absolutely is such a thing as voting *against* a candidate.
And I note that you continue to avoid clearly saying whether you think you have an inherent obligation to oppose fascism as an American. You keep shifting accountability.
There's no value in continuing this conversation.🙄

So you feel you don't have an inherent obligation as an American to vote to against a pro-fascism candidate looking to trample on civil rights?
You feel that's something you have to be flattered into doing by a political party?

There's nothing to engage with you on if you're unable or unwilling to comprehend the argument I made.🤷♀️

All of your replies have suddenly become completely nonsensical. You're either floundering because you feel out of your depth in the discussion or you're just a bot.
Either way, a block feels like the right move since you're clearly not here to discuss anything in good faith.

💯No candidate is ever perfect. You vote for the person who will move you *closer* toward your goal, even if they can't get you the whole way there.
Making tough choices is part of living in a democracy, yet ironically "Harris vs Fascism" shouldn't have been a tough choice at all.

You literally did not comprehend what I was saying. I understand now why you think "not voting" in this past election was a perfectly acceptable option.

So if you have two candidates who will both send weapons to Israel, and one says "but we need a ceasefire and no genocide" and the other says "finish the job", that's somehow still a tough choice for you?
Feels pretty obvious to me which option was better for the Palestinians.🤔🤷♀️

Is ensuring a fascist wannabe dictator doesn't win really something Dems should need to convince voters to do though? Feels like that should be the bare minimum expectation for any American.

If we're gonna speak in "literals", then it's worth noting that Harris said she was open to reevaluating our stance on Gaza while Trump LITERALLY promised to help Israel "finish the job".
This very much was not a "but both parties" dilemma. One literally *promised* to be worse.

For my own morals I wouldn't argue for capital punishment, but I do hear that CECOT still has room and we already know Trump and Musk both support that punishment so I can't imagine they'd object to keeping the option in play, right?🤷♀️🙃

We voters should all commit to shunning any Democrat official or candidate that even tries.

Also, teach your associates how to cut fabric PROPERLY. On multiple occasions I've watched someone try to slice through fabric the way one might slice through wrapping paper, creating a wasteful jagged edge and a mess of destroyed fibers. Massive internal screaming on my part.

"He's been in government 27 minutes...."
So he's not some ineffectual old fart who's unwilling to abandon a broken system from which he personally benefits? Say less, I'm sold.

I think the greater concern is that we'll have Russia-flavored elections, where we still have them but somehow dear leader keeps getting 97% of the vote.
No elections at all, people might be inspired to riot. Elections rigged af, people get disenfranchised and give up completely.

It's the same thing that's happening w/medicine. People have lived with the stability provided to them by climate science for so long that they no longer understand just how much benefit they receive from it.
I feel for Blue voters. For Red voters, may they have the hurricane season they voted for.

I've been saying "A lot of people weren't raised on Mr. Rogers and it shows" lately but I didn't expect FOX to prove it so literally, damn.

When he says "I'll only deport criminals" and yet won't stop referring to all immigrants as "illegal immigrants", he's telling you he thinks they're ALL criminals.
He didn't fucking hide it, so yes, you did in fact knowingly vote to deport moms.

Show me one who isn't, and I'll show you one who's just better than the others at hiding it.

"I'm a federal officer."
Dude, you're saying that like it somehow overrides the law. Back your ass up and go get a warrant signed by a judge.

They abandoned Musk, plus he already got the systems access he wanted, so now he's trying to position himself as being morally and intellectually superior at the rest of the GOP's expense. Let the in-fighting begin.

Imagine being this insecure, that beyond actively trying to threaten and intimidate everyone around you so you feel superior, you can't figure out how to bring any value to your own existence. These people are deeply embarrassing.

Science looks the same across the planet, unlike religion, and deals in the repeatable discovery of FACTS, not beliefs. Science would prove Candace Owens is an absolute moron every time, whereas a religious faith might find a way to justify her. Therein lies the difference.

If those same voters voted those Republicans state officials into office, then they're getting exactly what they voted for.

Women: Political and economic stability, access to reproductive healthcare, and affordable childcare are things I'd want before I bring a child into the world.
MAGA: Men, we really have to figure out what it will take to get women to have more babies. Truly a mystery for the ages.

A lot of people in this country were not raised on Mr. Rogers and it shows

Read the room, Nancy.
Your counterparts across the aisle are about to murder a bunch of Americans by stealing their healthcare, and in the exact same bill they're making a power grab on the judiciary.
READ THE ROOM before you post stuff like this.

Omg, a reporter with a spine. Practically a cryptid.

The Constitution isn't wholly the problem. I think what we found is that we did too much "trust", not enough "but verify". Things we thought were guardrails were a gentleman's agreement at best.
We need to codify way more stuff, both in law and in actual Constitutional Amendments where possible.

People always look at me weird when I express my distrust of current AI given how completely unregulated it generally is. This is one of those reasons why: because they operate as a black box technology that the owners could absolutely misuse to try and pull a fast one.
