It is not a screengrab.

“Not the other way around” hahaha good one!

That quote was “misquoted” hahaha sorry but you realize that I made it up by combining the meme in the post of this comment section and the words of the user that I talked to, to highlight their nonsense. How is that misquoted? Like if I write “I am stinky”, i am not misquoting anyone because I am not assigning it to anyone. I am not claiming that it is a quote. and if I did, I would be the author of the quote and how the fuck do I misquote myself? So what are you on about here???

So now you want to tell me that a third party voter disagrees with Harris and trump in all point the same amount? What a ridiculous notion. What would they say? “I disagree that trans people should be allowed to exist but also I disagree that trans people shouldn’t be allowed to exist.” Get serious.

“Democrats acting like there is no comparison between them and the republicans” there isn’t though. One party supports a guy who has a history of praising Hilter and Nazi Germany in general, tells the IDF to finish up, supports white supremacists, and of course, expresses fascistic ideas. The other is in favor of democracy, her name is Harris. Sure, the democrats has their flaws, but there is no comparison.

“The democrats are helping to kill your family and friends…” Yes. Yes I would. Because my understanding of politics is practical and not idealistic. Harris can be convinced that supporting this is a big mistake. Trump wants them to finish up. Third party is a lost vote for the party that I agree more with, so a vote for trump in practice. So I would vote for Harris. I am sorry for the victims but I rather help them a little in reality than a lot in fantasy.

“Gain votes”: to this point, I wrote a lot and decided to keep it short. This is besides the point of our discussion. It is heavily implying that Harris is making her decision to maximize her voter turnout. It is naive to think voter turnout is the only concern of a vice president with foreign policy experience in regards of going against a close military ally and years of co-operation of their intelligence agencies. I don’t know if you know but a lot of security software used in the us is written and/or owned by former unit 8200 members; you know the israeli intelligence corps. There is a risk why the us banned Kaspersky, after Russia invasion. But as I think all of this is besides the point, I will leave this with a “I don’t support the way Israel is operating, regardless how one wants to call it, it is morally wrong. Don’t understand my criticism of nativity as a support of Harris’s stance”

Please look into how the us election works and tell me again that it is cultural.

The us system is so broken that splitting the vote is a reality. If you believe that Harris is more your candidate than trump than voting third party makes it more likely than trump wins. That is sad reality. Voting third party is voting against your own best interest.

I feel bad for Americans but the land of the free doesn’t let you vote who you like but forces you to vote against who you hate.

Also what quote did you mean? I am still looking for an answer.

Good read but not really a response to what I said or what you said. I assume our conversation ended. Have a nice day

You are right… They talking about voting for Harris would be like cutting of a hand and implying that voting for trump is like cutting of a arm; and instead of choosing one of them, one should fight the System; certainly doesn’t carry the implication that one should vote third party.

But I am wondering what am I not understanding about the conversation?

You seem to misunderstand. I am not saying trump or Harris (not Biden) is a false dichotomy. I am saying, voting for Harris and fighting the system is a false dichotomy. Regardless of whether or not Harris is part of the system, you can vote Harris and protest the system.

I did think about what they said. They affectively say, I am willing to risk trump in a seemingly close election between trump and Harris because both are supportive of Israel and therefore they want to vote for a 3rd party candidate. So they are saying on a response to a post which is the meme in question, they are willing to risk a man who said that the IDF has to finish up and finish what they started because then he can feel better about his vote.

I am not sure what quote you mean.

You wrote “Germans”, I point out that treating a whole country as if they all have 1 opinion, is ridiculous. And then your counter is that?

Yes, Germany is a democracy. That doesn’t mean shit though. There are many different reasons for voting for a party and in the last election, “should Israel commit a genocide?” Wasn’t part of the discussion. So maybe the people in power don’t align with their voters on that issue. But even if it was part of the discussion, so are many different things. So in 2021, Germans might have their reasons to vote for people that they would disagree with now. Democracies are flawed, like any other system of governance.

As I am not German, I don’t want to speak for them, if you are looking for an opinion

Germans? So because Germany is supportive, Germans are? So us citizens are supportive?

I am not American, don’t worry. But why would that make me a cunt?

Also why wouldn’t I listen to opinions that I disagree with? Do I need to be afraid of them? I can read “mein Kampf” without becoming a Nazi. I recommend you to listen to opinions different your own. Then you are prepared to call people out on their bs because you know the bs to Beginn with.

You think I missed the analogy? No, I used your analogy and it works perfectly fine. If you want to drop the analogy because you don’t think the analogy is good, be my guest. Tell me how that counters my point.

I don’t know if you know but due to the fact that the USA is a joke democracy, it sadly isn’t a false dichotomy. Unless you think, you can change NOW (as you don’t have the time to do it later) more than half of the citizens’ opinion and get a 3rd party candidate in power. Which is obviously realistic…

This sounds like the meme.

“You might lose your whole arm, instead of an hand, but that is a sacrifice that I am willing to take.”

Also false dichotomy. You can vote Harris and protest. You could literally vote for Harris and join a violent militia group to overthrow Harris.

If you see paying for sexual services as consensual, he probably did.

If you don’t, he probably didn’t.

I think “alienated” is a strong indicator of the negative perspective of the Author to the written text. I don’t think people use “alienated” in a positive setting. So I don’t think it is misleading at all, tbh

I was 100% pro-choice but somehow this made me more pro-choice. Wtf…

There is a difference.

A lot of people who claim to be liberal, just aren’t left wing. The good example is the FDP party in Germany.

To quote Wikipedia: The FDP’s political position has variously been described as centrist, centre-right, and right-wing. The FDP has been described as liberal, conservative-liberal, classical-liberal, and liberal-conservative. Other sources have described the party as libertarian or right-libertarian.

There are left wing liberals, but don’t act like they usually call themselves liberal.

Which is?

Now I feel guilty. Love to you my friend

No pressure but where meme 👀

That is American horrors. Fucking land of the free 🦅🦅🦅

Oh I see. I know the kind of people you talk about and it is quite curious…
