    The people who want to get ice cream are also helping a psychopath murder innocent civilians so it’s a bit of a toss up

      Oh, good thing the people who want to go over the cliff aren’t helping a psychopath murder innocent civilians.

      … they actually want to increase the assistance to that psychopath so they can murder more innocent civilians?

      Huh.

        So you admit that framing the choice as “choose between getting ice cream and dying” is incredibly misleading. The choice is really “choose between 500,000 innocent people being murdered or 2,000,000 innocent people being murdered”

        The conclusion isn’t as obvious when you ask that question is it? I know you’re gonna say you still pick the 500,000 innocents dying anyday. But then don’t lie about what the choice was to make yourself feel better.

          Considering that “Palestinians being murdered” was not on the ballot either way? No, not really. Our choice was between “Fascism” and “Democrats making marginal improvements”, and you ghouls chose to campaign for fascism to win. Congratulations.

          The conclusion isn’t as obvious when you ask that question is it?

          No, the conclusion is just as obvious if you aren’t a fascist who thinks that more minorities dying is a good thing. But I understand that the lives of the marginalized don’t matter in comparison to your need to feel smug and morally ‘pure’. Enjoy the blood on your hands.

            The results of your campaign came in a while ago now. It’s bold to stick with a losing strategy but I gotta admire the moxy

              “You lost the election, therefore, you are wrong.”

              How unsurprising that you simp for the fascists after working so hard to see their victory through.

                I’m not saying you’re wrong because you lost, I’m saying that if you want to win you should learn from your failures

                  I’m sorry, what failures do you think I’m arguing for repeating? Appointing another ghoul like Harris?

                  The moral precept that murdering more minorities to feel good about yourself is actually evil as fuck doesn’t change because a third of this fucking country finds it an uninteresting idea, and another third finds it offensive. It’s just not what we should be running a fucking campaign with - not that the Dems campaigned on that point either.

                    I don’t think we disagree on anything.

                    I think being against baby murder won’t necessarily win you the election, but supporting baby murder while trying to portray yourself as the good guy will make people call bullshit and that is very bad for a campaign.

                    Regardless of who the opponent is. Trying to win by getting people to vote against the other guy has never worked.

      Which side do you think is more realistic to change later on? The people who want ice cream, at the very least, want to live.

        The politicians that are on the “ice cream” side only talk about “ice cream” when it helps them win elections, they spend every other moment arming psychopaths at the behest of their wealthy donors owners
