      Same here, because when everybody is against us, and don’'t give a fuck about Palestinian genocide, I can’t vote for Harris who is only partially on our side.
      My logic is flawless. I will now go ahead and shoot my other foot.

          Of course I will, just don’t expect me to be able to help you when they come for you, because you helped vote the leopards into power.

            Oh, trust me, I know. I was just poking fun and quoting a particular user on here who goes around using this same logic while attacking other’s views and then victimizing him/herself whenever he/she remotely gets any resistance.

              I understand it was sarcasm. You wrote enlightened Stein voter, that can ONLY be a joke. So don’t worry.
              I’ve seen similar comments, that are absolutely insane from people supporting Gaza.
              My response however, was meant for those who actually believe there’s a better third option.

          My response to this is “I respect your right to vote. Why don’t you?”

          I swear there’s a weirdo Jill Stein supporter who always shows up on Lemmy threads and says nearly that exact comment. Like hell no I don’t respect your wack choice.

            Yep…

            I’m wondering if the only answer to these people is: “Don’t listen to this fool. If you do what they say they’re gonna do, you’ll end up getting Trump and Project 2025, as will your sister, wife, or mother if you’re male, and you ALL will suffer!”

          It’s funny because we all know exactly who that is, too. Of course trying to use “respect” in both the sense of “respecting their right” and also “not (correctly) calling them a dumbass every time.”
