    If you still think it was the funny laugh and not the years of being a crooked cop and enthusiastic support for a genocide, you have chosen not to understand the people you want to put down. It’s not that you’re confused, you’re just an asshole.

    You have 179 days to find a candidate to support that isn’t horrible. Maybe at least try this time? Or don’t whinge when the people whose vote you deliberately decided you don’t need in order to win don’t vote for your candidate and they don’t win.

        “Do you want to go to the pizza place or the burger restaurant, Timmy?”

        “I don’t want either! I want macaroni and cheese!”

        “Macaroni and cheese is not an option, Timmy, now pick from what’s available or I’m deciding for you.”

        “No! I’m not picking!”

        “Okay, we’re going to the pizza place then.”

        (1 hour later) “This pizza sucks! It’s all the burger place’s fault for not appealing to me hard enough by serving macaroni and cheese.”

        Plenty of morons on this website who still think like this. Willing to watch their country turn into a fascist dictatorship to own the libs (only more communist than most Americans are doing it)

      I really do wonder if any of those abstainers even understand how fucking stupid they are, two years into this shit storm.

      Not that it matters, it all feels inevitable, the demos would just sell out their country too, just quieter, as loud ass idiots pull tantrums until their party is in and do this wrecking ball shit anyway. At least this way has kicked people in the ass about the state of the world, if we make it out the other end without too much injury, it might just be a better world…

        The abstainers still feel every bit as smug as the 3rd party vote wasters.

            Well it looked like one of 'em downvoted you before I saw your response. So there you have it.

              The ml folk are absolutists when it comes to compromise, I admire the conviction, but the rubber doesn’t quite hit the road of reality when you look at the big picture, it’s fine, maybe I’m the wrong one

                It’s funny because they are like, a living museum exhibit of why communism turns out the way it so often does.

                Funny, bcs it’s the Dems who are the absolutists on compromise. Never compromise with their own left flank, but compromise with fascists even when they could get everything they want without compromise.

                  Trust me, I get what you mean, I’m right there with you, but we’re clearly not living in the world in which everything works just perfectly. I don’t want genocide any more than anyone else here, I don’t want compromise on it either, but if we wait around for the perfect world we aren’t working towards a better one right now.

        Yep, and we’ll do it again unless you answer to our demands of not pushing a genocider. Best of luck.

          Yes, I don’t want them either, but the alternative appears to be genocide, plus a bunch of other bullshit

            Enjoy voting for Dem candidate Ted Cruz as he takes on Republican candidate mecha hitler in 2030. And then still punching left as you flail to try and understand your descent into fascism.
