Because this over simplification stymies progress.
Yes, I know all the ways Harris was bad. But my choices were Harris and Trump, at least with Harris there was a chance of moving the needle. With Trump I’m fairly convinced free elections in America are over.
So when internet morons tell me Harris and Temu Hitler are indistinguishable, I take offense - it breeds complacency in an already hyper complacent population.
You win! How should I have handled the 2024 election differently to save my country, they who have all the answers?
Also, please explain, when my choices were ONLY a little rape and a lot of rape how stamping my feet and loudly explaining that rape is bad would accomplish…. What?

You’ve got all the answers, please tell me what I could have done differently in the 2024 election, I’d love to hear it
What you’re reading there is a way to inject sentiment into my statement that is not there to generate a win for yourself.
Be better.
Also, if you want to be real pedantic about it (and you do you little pedant), a secret Gestapo is pedantically better than an “out in the open one” due to secrecy limiting their reach and power. Kind of a “do you want to be shot in the head or be tortured to death” kind of convo where both endings suck, but we both know which you’d choose.
ACAB 100%.
Harris is not my first, second, or 100th choice. She’s demonstrably better than Temu Hitler though.
You know what, you’re absolutely right. It’s my fault for not single-handedly fixing the broken US 2 party system.
Shame on me for voting for the imperfect candidate rather than… not voting? Help me out here, I’ve lost track of exactly how I could have prevented this.
I shouldn’t be looking for wins where they can be found, I should be on the internet claiming a 34 time felon is the same as a prosecutor - clearly my country would be great if I just… help me out here again? You’re the genius.
You let the perfect be the enemy of the good to the detriment of all, if there’s anyone to pity sir, it’s you.

Hey look, ICE NOT OPENLY ROAMING THE STREETS LOOKING FOR BROWN PEOPLE TO KIDNAP MAKES AMERICA A DEMONSTRABLY BETTER PLACE TO LIVE. The point of this post is “the parties are indistinguishable”, a laughably juvenile viewpoint.
You just said “the parties are not distinguishable”. I’m not interested in arguing any further, you’ve already proven your intellectual dishonesty in pursuit of your point.
I’m not saying America would be a bastion of global compassion and understanding under Harris, just that it wouldn’t be anywhere near the Nazi sympathizing shithole it is now.
Believe it not, there can be 2 bad things where1 is infinitely worse than the other - like say having your arm surgically removed versus being pulled apart by wild horses. If you were given the deciding vote between the two, you wouldn’t huff and say they were the same, you would be frantically advocating for the surgical removal.
Both suck but there’s a clear difference, but people like you have been saying “those are the same thing!!” When they clearly aren’t.
What you all MEAN to be saying is “there’s demonstrable differences I don’t care about”, which would at least be intellectually honest.

“Just let me avoid answering your question and… “ No. They’re demonstrably not the same, as evidenced by you inability to answer the question. Also basic common sense.
I’m not pretending America is the best country, or Harris would be the best for the world.
I have 0 interest in Defending her, but claiming they’re the same with a straight face is fucking laughable. America would be a better country internally and on the global stage with her in charge, by any metric that isn’t “burn all capitalism down”.
Here’s an easy one - would Harris have sent a citizen to CECOT without a trial? Obviously not, because she’s demonstrably different from Trump, like any 3 year old could determine.

Do I need to pull up the Webster definitions of similar and same for you?

It’s almost like ignoring everything about a person except 1 aspect of them makes you too ignorant to talk about it.
Go back to Reddit where your lack of critical thinking skills will help you fit in.
