Of course, they can't say "war criminal Donald Trump" because that would then invite people to call Biden a war criminal too

Something like 3% of the population has been convicted of a felony. Most of us probably have a felon in our families or social groups and many of us probably know a felon whose conviction was bullshit. Using "convicted felon" as a pejorative in the most obsessively carceral society in the history of earth is bound to backfire.

Liberals don't really care about that

We get them in here every day in some random threads, screaming about how we're a bunch of dumbasses for not voting for war criminal Joe Biden, which is 'definitely' going to convince people here to vote for him

56% of Democratic voters claim to oppose genocide but are more angry at the people who won't vote for it

Yeah well nobody should support it. But NOT voting for Biden will almost be a for-sure win for Trump. It's a case where you choose the better of the two evils

Lesser evilism in this day and age? Still? I can't even be bothered to type out a new reply here you go, don't normalise genocide, don't signal that you get votes by doing genocide

Theres also no way to quantify whicj of the two is the "lesser" evil. They both suck shit

It's literally the ONLY argument I get anymore, every time I try it always ends up with them hysterically chanting lesser of two evils
