    Ok to make some thing clear because you seem to misunderstand a lot of things. I’m not from the US, I vote greens in my country and despise the liberals of your and my country. When i put quotes around against genocide I do so because as I explain in the whole thing it’s in effect not against genocide as it’s not stopping it plus adding a genocide in your own population. I don’t put the quotes around genocide without the word against because a genocide it is. You are so caught up in your whole spiel that you’ve built a boogeyman you assume me to be without actually reading the text which is already clear when you take my introductory sentence and complain that I’ve not provided the logic before the introduction. When my logic sends like standard laser evil tropes then that’s because it is. I detailed the logic without buzzwords because so many people stop thinking about the why the moment they hear them. And you don’t need more than lesser evil because lesser evil is all you have in your shithole of an electory system. You have no option to actually bring a 3rd party into power. Maybe I’ll get to your other points when I’m actually awake and not lying in bed with a fever but probably not

      Ok to make some thing clear because you seem to misunderstand a lot of things.

      If you want to clarify any of my alleged misunderstandings I expect you to name what I actually got wrong and quote it if necessary. You made a series of errors in your response and are not in a position to project an sense of condescension.

      I’m not from the US

      I never said otherwise.

      I vote greens in my country and despise the liberals of your and my country.

      Greens are, generally speaking, liberals. Just because they don’t put “liberal” in their name doesn’t mean they aren’t part of the liberal ideology of capitalism - in this case, via reforms like regulating energy production and expanding social programs. Buy they lose to groups like, say, AfD because they cleave to the liberal policies that degrade conditions and they embrace Imperialism just as willingly as any socdem party.

      When i put quotes around against genocide I do so because as I explain in the whole thing it’s in effect not against genocide as it’s not stopping it plus adding a genocide in your own population.

      I see, so they were scare quotes intended to denigrate the act of not voting for genociders. This is only slightly less shameful.

      You are so caught up in your whole spiel that you’ve built a boogeyman you assume me to be

      You are advocating for supporting genociders I do not need much in the way of assumptions.

      without actually reading the text which is already clear when you take my introductory sentence and complain that I’ve not provided the logic before the introduction.

      I read and quoted literally everything you said and responded to it directly. And no, you did not provide logic. I was correct in this. Your attempt at a lecture was disjointed and you did not tie the pieces together. I had to surmise the connections for you and point out the gaps.

      When my logic sends like standard laser evil tropes then that’s because it is.

      Yes I know, these are tropes taught to children and sold to the politically illiterate. I have already said this.

      I detailed the logic without buzzwords

      You did not provide logic. Your premises were false and your conclusions don’t follow from them or a coherent rationale. I did my best to respond to it by recognizing that these are not your ideas they are bits and pieces of very standard Baby’s First Electoralism bits of partisan logic.

      because so many people stop thinking about the why the moment they hear them.

      Oh? So when are you going to respond to my criticisms? Do you think that you, yourself, may have actually stopped thinking about it? Instead detailing the bits that you feel you were right about and that I did not get right, conveniently ignoring the rest?

      Again, these are not new concepts to me. You are not teaching me anything. I shared this lesser evil logic when I was a child and then I actually read history and politics. This does not make me special or better, but you have exactly the wrong posturing for this conversation.

      And a good clue for how you are wrong is that instead of opposing genocide you are trying to get people to support genociders. That should have made you pause and go do some reading. You are doing a horrible thing. Don’t you think you should have made sure you were right?

      And you don’t need more than lesser evil because lesser evil is all you have in your shithole of an electory system.

      Incortect and I already addressed this. Please respond to what I have said rather than repeating your lecture.

      You have no option to actually bring a 3rd party into power.

      I have an option to spread consciousness against genocidal capitalists and their political parties. The greatest error in your “logic” is your framing and assumptions. We could get to that topic if you would actually engage with what I said and ask questions.

      Maybe I’ll get to your other points when I’m actually awake and not lying in bed with a fever but probably not

      I’m sorry you have a fever. I suggest you rest instead of advocating for genocide.
