they didn’t even bother with a pretence of a primary the second time.

    I allowed what? Mate, there is an ocean between that shithole and my country. I can’t even vote there and you blame me for your shitty decisions as a country? It’s also lots of fun seeing you call me neolib when you don’t even know what I vote in my country. Typical tankie.

    Also, yeah, you had two options: you could vote for harris or allow pedohitler to be elected directly or indirectly. Is your system shit? Yup, congratulations on realizing that your democracy is a pile of shit.

    Was there a better option than pedohitler from which to start to create something better? Yup, but you decided that pedohitler was not worse than Harris, so you let him get there. And now you are blaming others because you put yourselves in that situation. I’m sure you’ll be fine for the next years… sooner or later pedohitler will die, you’ll go to vote, there will be another nazi competing with a suboptimal (but not-nazi) candidate and you’ll go again with “but the suboptimal candidate is no perfect! I won’t vote because this is not what I want!”. I just hope the next nazi you elect is old, because if he’s young, you’re in for a few decades of fantastic fascism.

            So you have a candidate that’s a pedophile hitler, then a candidate that’s neither hitler nor pedophile. But you decided to not vote because none is good enough. Doing that you just said that you are ok with both, you know? You basically said that hitler was as bad as non-hitler.

              they don’t need to be the same for neither of them to be acceptable

                    Well, if you didn’t vote against him, you can’t say you’re against what he’s doing. You made a choice, and that choice was saying that none was acceptable, hence both were ok to win. Was harris better than pedohitler, or not? Because that’s the only thing that counts. You could have voted for the better option and start working from there. Instead you decided to not vote. If you abstain, you are ok with either result, that’s just how it is. You can’t complain of a result if you didn’t vote.

      Yap Yap yap, you’re still fucking here? Piss off mate. I’m done with your bullshit. Continue slinging blame instead of having any inkling of understanding about systemic forces and long term politics.

      Go be a cuck for your own oppression elsewhere. Enjoy being blocked.

        It’s fine. You allowed pedohitler to be in power and this is your way of coping with it. Don’t worry, sooner or later you’ll (hopefully) understand that what you’re doing is the wrong way of changing things. Although I don’t hold my hopes up with tankies; as we can see here, it’s hard to reason with one.

        And yup, I’m still here because, guess what, unlike in your imagination, in reality, you can’t order other people to do your will, you better get used to it or go back to your basement, buttercup.
