Democrats: "Vote for Harris if you want to save the country from Trump and the Republicans!" Also Democrats: "We need a strong Republican party and we love the Cheney's!" The Left: "WTF is going on?"
I don't really understand your issue... She doesn't "love" them, she's just associating with them. Are you so drunk on Trump's bullshit that you think we should seek only division?
20 years ago it was Bush and the Cheneys that were so bad we would have been told to vote for anyone running Blue.
Can't wait to vote for the Democratic candidate in 2048 based on the idea that they'll only conscript first-born children into mandatory asteroid farming and have Barron Trump's enforcement over Megahitler.
I can't see it being more affordable to use humans to farm asteroids than machines. Life support systems seem expensive long term. That said, I also can't think of a resource that would be worth mining off planet in that time frame.
granted, I should have given more thought to my hyperbolic hypothetical.
point being I dread to think what "lesser evil" we're looking at when the time comes
No you really shouldn't have to be. They are responding in bad faith and distracting from the point of a serious conversation by um actuallying the fake sci-fi of a hypothetical.
out of the principle of charity I chalked it up to the type of person who fixates on the wrong thing but I suspect you're right
I usually just blame how autistic Lemmy is. Unironically, the amount of neurodivergent people here is huge and a common trait is focusing on the wrong fuckin details, especially with hypotheticals
Okay now explain how bad the alternative is that we need to support genocide
