    I do not consider someone Hitler for disagreeing with me, I consider them to be akin to Hitler if they: Support things like: genocide; concentration camps; expansion of the police state; mass surveillance; imperialism; persecution of minorities; the MIC; the slavery complex; and similar causes.

            My issue with the republican party is not their choice of party color, but their policies. Therefore I have exactly the same issues with the democratic party. Further entrenching it is the worst thing I could do. Especially when the democratic party is also helping the republican party.

            Voting unconditionally for any party is high up on the list of “worst political moves” as well, so I’m definitely not going to do that.

              no one will vote for the extreme leftist parties. but if we vote for democrats who are in reality moderates, we can at least keep the worst of the rapists, pedophiles, nazis, and Israeli puppets out of government. then we can work on getting rid of democrats.

              Republicans (red) are a united party while leftist groups are split between democrats (blue) and true leftists (green). this gives power to Republicans.

              If you are too blind to see that… your vote for a party that cannot win in the short term… is just really a vote for nazis, pedophiles, rapists, and genocide lovers.

                Are you too stupid to understand a self perpetuating system? Nobody votes for the leftist parties (except the people that do) because of people like you. If you voted for the leftist parties and stopped screaming about how anyone who does is a traitor because they’re not supporting the corporate ghoul of the hour then maybe the system would change eventually. I’ve seen this happen in so many elections. If the same people who were saying this shit back in 2004 had just voted for the candidate with the actual best policies and not whoever was ‘blue’ then maybe politics wouldn’t still be a race to the bottom where the Overton window just shifts as far right as possible every election season.

                Okay, I decided to give you another chance and came back to read the rest

                but if we vote for democrats who are in reality moderates

                wow, you’re the meme. I am afraid of getting an aneurysm from reading the rest of your fascist doublethink “genocide is moderate we have to vote for the democrats so we can get rid of the extreme republicans because they’re doing genocide” line of argument.

                Republicans (red) are a united party while leftist groups are split between democrats (blue) and true leftists (green). this gives power to Republicans.

                Well, again, (you really seem to struggle with reading what I write, I have to repeat myself quite a lot. Are you okay? Do you have a trusted adult or some sort of DNC botfarm handler you can talk to?), my issue with the republicans is not that they are republican it is their policies, which are similar to the democrats, so one party or the other in power is the same to me. The less power I can give them the better, so I won’t vote for either.

                your vote for a party that cannot win in the short term… is just really a vote for nazis, pedophiles, rapists, and genocide lovers.

                By your logic a vote for the dems is a vote for the republicans. My vote is apparently what makes the difference between the democrats winning or losing. I will not vote for them. With you knowing that, you voting for democrats is just another vote for republicans, since the democrats won’t win.

                Furthermore you seem to be stuck in a weird limbo, oscillating between short and long term thinking - depending on what most benefits your rhetorical position. Voting third party is bad because they won’t win in the short term. We have to vote for democrats, even though that means accepting genocidal fascism in the short torm, due to some undefined long term goal.

                If I have to accept the unacceptable (genocide) in the short term anyway, I might as well go for an actually cogent long-term plan that hasn’t been shown to fail - which “vote for the democrats and push them left” and “vote for the democrats AND THEN organize” have been shown to do. Following your strategy we’ve come to a place where, according to you, not committing a genocide is seen as an “extreme leftist position”. Seems like a pretty shit strategy.

                I’m going to invest my resources (and my votes) with an actually principled leftist party and use elections as a means of building momentum, while understanding the electoral system is inherently flawed.

                  in America it is an extremely leftist position in politics.

                  but I guess you are on ostrich and can’t see that as your head is buried in the sand.

                  A split vote that doesn’t prevent Republikkkans from winning is a vote of rape, nazis, pedophiles, and genocidal filth.

                  but I wouldn’t expect a moron to understand that. people like you are why nazis walk free in this shithole.

                    It actually isn’t. Not committing genocide is a majority position. Similar to things like not having concentration camps, universal healthcare, not having mass surveillance and so on. These policies are all massively popular. Popularity does not affect likelyhood of something passing into law in the united states, which you would know if you pulled your head out of your ass and investigated the things you claim to care about.

                    A split vote that doesn’t prevent Republikkkans from winning is a vote of rape, nazis, pedophiles, and genocidal filth.

                    So, again, my issue with rape, nazis, pedophiles and genocidal filth is not that they are republicans, it is what they are doing. So I also won’t vote for democrats. (You are the meme by the way)

                Kamala couldn’t win in the short term, so if you voted for her, you voted for nazis, pedophiles, rapists, and genocide lovers.

                Though it’s fucking stupid to say that not voting for nazis, pedophiles, rapists, and genocide lovers is actually voting for them, but literally voting for them in the form of democrats isn’t.

            Who is “y’all”. That’s quite the generalisation to make when making such a major accusation.

            Anyway this entire conversation is idiotic. When talking about supportting certain things, unavoidable support like being born in a place and thus having to pay taxes was obviously not what was being discussed.

            You should probably do some introspection rather than continuing to lash out.

                  Idk as a lefty with a lot of centrist acquaintances most are actually just brain dead centrists. Not a new manifestation of Hitler, usually those guys are proud about being right leaning.

                Hey Nazi sympathizer…

                Just because people don’t want to spend time with you because you’re, well… A Nazi sympathizer, doesn’t mean that excluding people like you from society is a bad thing.

                In fact, it is our duty as a society to exclude people like you from society by any means necessary. It just must suck for you that it means people call you things like “Nazi sympathizer” and don’t invite you to parties.

                You must be very lonely in your life. And that genuinely makes me happy. Maybe you should reflect on your belief system and how you wanting people like me to not have rights is what is alienating you from others.

                Not everyone who disagrees with you is equivalent to the most evil man on earth.

                Funny, I seem to recall someone spelling out specifically what the disagreement would have to be about in order to be compared to Hitler, yet here you are saying its everyone. One might come to the conclusion you’re an idiot or you can’t read or that you might not have a functional memory - Like some sort of bot. What else could the explanation be?

                I am probably more left than you are, this shit is bad for any movement you support.

                I support the “don’t commit a genocide” movement. Keeping genociders out of the movement is a positive. If you support genociders, then you are not leftist.

        Anyone currently working for the US military or one of its contractors is either complicit in or actively committing genocide, yeah. That’s not an outrageous thing to believe. One of the only modern American soldiers I can respect is Aaron Bushnell, the air force member who martyred himself in front of the Zionist Entity’s embassy in 2024. That’s the minimum level of awareness I would expect out of anyone participating in Amerikkkan empire.

        Anyone of a normal political ideology would seek to make the United States extinct. It’s a country administered by clownish nazi pedophiles and doesn’t deserve to be defended.

          Agreed but you don’t go far enough. Every company in America pays taxes and supports it. Don’t try and absolve yourself by narrowing the scope. Even if you work at mom and pops card trading store you are supporting the machine.

            Yeah which is why I’m politically active in the hopes of dismantling the machine. I do what I can in spite of me being an Amerikkkan. However if someday a group of Maoist third-worlders were to suddenly take power and deemed me an imperialist or something, I would probably ask for leniency but I’d spiritually understand if they would rather execute me. Like I’m imagining being lined up against the brick wall and being asked if I have any last words and it would probably be like “damn y’all are cool.” My dream would finally have come true: a society where a person like me is executed for being a reactionary.

                  Evil persists but we have cool circle paint figures to make a paraiah. Good job.

                  And maybe try to convince your centrist friend he doesn’t like those Hitler light guys. You actually need their stupid votes.

            The argument is that people like you and the person on the left in the comic hide your true beliefs because you know they are vehemently unpopular among pretty much anyone with any sort of decency or a soul. You know what you believe, like trans people shouldn’t get healthcare, immigrants are evil, and the capitalist class should rule. Yet you bury that because if it ever came out to people around you because they would isolate you faster than you could understand.

            We all know the argument. You just don’t realize you are the argument.

          Facetious is an adjective that means treating serious issues with deliberately inappropriate humor, flippancy, or lightheartedness, or saying something that is not meant to be taken seriously or literally.
