    This is limiting the scope of thought to four years.

    Democrats winning means genocide becomes fully normalized forever, whereas if Trump wins it means four more years of genocide but the democrats will have learnt they cannot ignore the left.

    In the short term Trump will be more damaging, but in the long term it is very debatable which is worse.

      Hmm. I can understand this perspective. I guess its a bit tough. As a trans person I would find it very hard to do anything that isn’t actively working against trump being in power, because if he gets in power it’s very likely that my life will be in danger (if I was an American). But at the same time, as mentioned before, it wouldn’t be an easy sell for me to be voting pro-harris.

      I guess your scenario doesn’t mean you’re going to vote for trump, just that you’ll vote third party or spoil your ballot?

      Democrats winning means genocide becomes fully normalized forever,

      Even more so if the guy who openly said murder is a genetic predisposition wins.

      Who for the record is Donald J Trump.

        Genocide is already normalized for republicans. If democrats get to normalize it as well, there will be no non-genocide option in 2028.

        When you never draw a red line you signal that they can keep pushing the boundaries of evil.
