There’s no red line that Americans can VOTE on. We don’t get to vote on how America goes to war, period. You really want to frame this in the context that your actually doing something other than undermining a fair election. You’ve gone way past the red line in your support of Trump.

Sure there is, you can vote Green or PSL. If you disapprove of the Democrats but will never not vote for them, you’re the same as the rabid supporters of Zionism that vote for the Dems, materially. Are you looking to join a Leftist party, try to destabilize the system and establish Socialism? If not, it seems like you’re just supporting the status quo and not lifting a finger no matter how bad it gets.

No, I don’t support Trump, that’s why I support leftist candidates and advocate for people to abandon the Dems and Reps.

You sure can if you believe that making an insignificant point in a ballot box is worth more than the actual lives of people who would die because of a Trump administration but not under a Harris one. But if you want to make an actual difference. the ballot box is one of the very few times you need to hold your nose and do the uncomfortable thing of choosing liberalism over fascism.

But if you’re okay with fascism, sure. Go and make your vote a spoiler that helps the fascists win. I’m sure the people who die because doctors who were scared to provide medically necessary abortions will be grateful that you did the morally superior, but entirely ineffective, thing.

You can vote for fascism if that’s what you want, I reject it.

You’re voting fascism in, the Dems have failed for half a century to codify abortion rights because they don’t care.

Wake up commie tool.

Wake up, liberal! Lol

You and everyone else here with an agenda ARE supporting the status quo

TIL advocating people to join revolutionary parties and overthrow the system is “supporting the status quo,” while voting for the establishment parties is “punk.” Is this a Twilight Zone episode?

Do you think you’re voting socialism in with a Jill Stein vote?

Nah, just voting against genocide and Imperialism. Voting doesn’t really matter anyways

Because I guarantee you that’s not what she’s running for.

Cool.

You know very well that you can’t go into an American polling station and vote for anti-establishment policies.

I can and I will.

The spoiler vote comes down to ONE real world mechanic. Undermining the popular candidate’s vote.

Can’t be a spoiler if I would never vote for a genocidal monster anyways. Harris is spoiling her own votes.

"You really want to frame this in the context that your actually doing something other than undermining a fair election. "

I find that arguing a person must vote for one of two pro-genocide parties already undermines your idea of a “fair election.” What primary even nominated Harris as the Democrat candidate? -Not that our primary systems is particularly representative of a “fair election” system, either. I just don’t remember when these were candidates voted on.

That’s actually prety obvious after reading Marx: the system still works as intended for whom it was intended to work, namely for bourgeoisie and their lackeys. The contradictions aren’t yet big enough to cause the overthrowing of it. Liberals, people who we are trying to convince here to open their eyes and see that they are voting for genocide, for actual mass extermination of entire people, actually (with small exceptions) already have their eyes open - they just don’t see anything undesirable in the picture: brown people half of world away and their deaths are perfectly ignorable for them, their lives are pretty comfortable and they just want to stop reading uncomfortable opinions and get back to brunch.
