I'd like to think they're all just Russian trolls but increasingly, I think some people are just selfish or dumb. (lemmy.world)

My brother in Christ, it is an analogy. You cannot piss and moan about how anyone who doesn’t support Kamala, implicitly supports Trump, and then tell me that my analogy for how stupid that false dichotomy is, is itself a false dichotomy. I do not understand.

    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...

    Where did they say the intention is for a third party to win this election?

    Also just because you don't understand the conversation doesnt mean you should be sarcastic and rude. Overaggressive democrat voters is sort of the joke here in the first place.

    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?

    There are multiple ways to "fight", third party is one version of it. Obviously each group is going to think their plan makes most sense.

    The bottom line is we all agree its a broken system run by psychopathic people, so maybe don't point the blame at those who are trying to change things in good faith.
