This is the TradCath Weirdo published by the NYT telling you not to vote
Well that’s not very descriptive! “A moustache” could mean almost anything lol
The information that was re-released was already known. Anyone can file a court case. I hate Trump. Trump was never convicted and the cases were dropped. There is no victim coming forward right now to detail with evidence that Trump is a child molester. Biden also has accusations against him. During 2020 and 2016, many bad actors claimed Hillary and Biden molested them. Why did people not “believe” them just because they made an accusation?
Trump has 34 felony convictions. Claiming that Epstein files proves something where there is no conviction or victim with evidence in the public does not help. It makes Democrats look like they are grasping at straws. There is already plenty of reasons to not vote for Trump. Conservatives have Ashley Biden’s diary which does state Biden took showers with his daughter indicating she found it inappropriate. Should we use that against Biden?

NYT had to change the headline to “Why I Won’t Vote” after social media caught him voting
…and your point is?
No one here appears to be advocating violence, just that dude looks like a bit like Hitler & is spouting off awful advice.
Fucking vote folks, it’s the only response you have left.
The post literally says:
“Shove his ass in a locker and burn the entire campus containing said locker to the ground. (The campus is Hillsdale).”
If you’re not advocating for murdering him, why would people be upvoting this response which says to murder him and burn the campus to the ground?
These types of responses only promote Trump’s chances as it makes Democrats out to be domestic terrorists.
When you sat down and watched Inglourious Basterds, the message you captured was “no one would have to die if they didn’t oppose Hitler,” which is very wrong on many levels.
Fascists are afraid of one thing and one thing only.
That thing, because you’re confused, is incredible violence.
The movie ended with your precious Hitler getting many, many more bullets than strictly necessary, while he and all his fascist buddies died in a burning movie theater.
This is the proper way to deal with fascism.
Literally one of the most famous poems ever written is about exactly this.
You know, First They Came?
You cannot be so media illiterate.
You think that fighting a Nazi makes you a Nazi? That’s the lesson you got from the poem? That is either a mind boggling amount of illiteracy, or, more likely, you’re a Nazi apologist.
People who are in a position to stand up to evil and fail to do so bear some responsibility for the deeds of the evil.
Never mind that this post is clearly hyperbolic, you’re clearly making bad-faith arguments in support of fascism. If you’re a fascist or not, you gotta take a good long look in the mirror, because that’s fucked up
Maybe thinking it’s okay to murder someone and burn down a school for telling people not to vote is a very fascist position.
I’m not American and have no dog in this fight but it’s fascinating to see it unfold and how blindly fanatical and willfully ignorant both sides can be.
If a Rep punches a Dem they’ll justify it as self defense or something. If a Dem punches a Rep it’s “okay to punch a Nazi”. Even seeing how both sides interpreted the presidential debate was ridiculous. Reps ignoring all of Trump’s lies and inability to give a direct answer to a question and a lot of the more fanatical Dems willfully ignoring Biden’s obviously declining mental state.
Reps caught up in a cult of personality and Dems willing to vote for anybody that isn’t Trump. It’s quite scary to see how easily each side can dehumanise the other while thinking they’re correct and morally superior.
The way both sides pardon their own calls to violence can’t lead to anything good. If ‘the other’ said or did something you consider to be completely heinous and you’d justify it or praise it were the roles reversed then maybe introspection is in order.
Of course violence is sometimes necessary but there seems to be growing bloodthirstiness from the extremes of the Left and the Right and I fear what might happen in November.
I’m sure I’ll be downvoted to fuck but that’s just an apolitical outsider’s perspective.
You’re simply making more bad faith arguments. The post was clearly hyperbole, but using violence is probably a reasonable response to actual fascism.
You can’t “both sides” this. Both sides are evil, but one side is an existential threat to democracy. One side has demonstrated its not going to play by the rules and is fine breaking the norms that many checks and balances relied on.
On one side some voters are extreme. On the other side, some politicians are extreme.
One side has already tried to undermine democracy and actually met with some success and no repercussions.
It’s not the same, and to call it the same is done in bad faith.
Then they shouldn’t try to both-sides the argument.
Nobody is defending Biden. He is just less evil than Trump, and far less of a risk to what little democracy remains. The bar is on the floor.
I might actually agree with ballot spoiling if one of the candidates wasn’t actively trying to replace democracy, and also teaching other populist extremist leaders around the world how to do the same there.
A vote for Biden, who according to all polling and public sentiment will clearly lose to Trump in November, is throwing away your vote.
Educate yourself to at least not mis-gender those who would better represent you, and it may be the first step towards our country recovering from the neoliberal mess we’re presently trapped within.
