    What are you trying to say here? That it’s better to “take the higher ground” and just NOT vote?

    In a race between Hitler and mussolini, yes. If you participated in a system that gave you a choice between those two you’re part of the problem. Get outta here with your HURR DURR TRAINS RAN ON TIME

      Right.

      So in a choice between Holocaust and Fascism, you choose Holocaust.

      Because not voting is boosting the effective numbers of those who vote for the Holocaust.

      And you have the gall to think of yourself as the better person, fuck me…

          your hero Mussolini

          Grow up real fast and stop this tribalist nonsense or we’re not going to have a discussion.

            Hitler and mussolini were both genocidal fascists trying to establish ethnostate empires utilizing violence, oppression, and industrialized murder. That’s not tribalism. That’s “they’re the same picture”. If the choice is between the two of them, then the only ethical option is not to choose.

            I suggest you learn more about these men’s history before you go cheerleading for one over the other for the sake of your dumb metaphor.

              Suggesting I like one of them is tribalism, mate.

              before you go cheerleading for one over the other

              See? You’re doing it again. I guess you’re incapable of not being childish like that, so it’s EOT from me.

                This you?

                Mussolini was an active participant in the holocaust. You’re voting in favor of the holocaust. You’re advocating for others to vote in favor of the holocaust, and implying that if they don’t then they are guilty of voting in favor of the holocaust.

                The only way your argument makes sense is if you’re a mussolini fanboy.

              Seriously. I chose Mussolini v. Hitler precisely because it was meant to be a reductio ad absurdum. A case where it’s so obvious one should boycott an election. Kamala vs. Trump was not Hitler vs. Mussolini. I only brought it up as an example so absurd that even the densest minds should have to admit that there are times not voting is the logical answer. But some folks are apparently so brainwashed into electoralism that they’ll keep doing it even if it is objectively meaningless. They’ll participate in a cargo cult of a democracy before they admit that voting for either side is pointless.

                Yeah I got what you were going for. It’s hilarious that the other person didn’t, and actually tried to sell Mussolini as the “harm reduction” candidate. I guess you found someone denser than the densest. American schools are in desperate need of more history and civics classes.
