How the fuck did he go the whole election cycle without knowing even that much? It wasn't exactly a well hidden detail of Trump's foreign policy

If you think nobody was paying attention to climate change after Biden's win you are the one who slept

It's funny because America and the world are fucked now. Blame whoever you like that's the situation

Oh look a corrupt Republican appointment to the scotus. If only we had some method of preventing Republican presidents from making nominations to the supreme court...

One sentence horror: Don't worry ma'am your child is just meeting with our youth pastor.

Ignorant Americans, never even heard of the common snailcat

isn't it obvious that voting for the "lesser evil" just inevitably trends towards the greater evil over time? .

What's obvious is that multiple election cycles of non-participation lead to people who want the greater evil winning the vote more often.

It is not a successful strategy at mitigating harm

Counterpoint: literally any of the things that happened under Trump that Hillary almost certainly wouldn't have done.

Like nominating three of the judges that overturned roe

We've been down that road before

What doesn't happen is non-participation leading to the abolishion of America's two party system.

Non-participation is simply letting the greater evil win.

They're not suddenly going to ditch first past the post because of some protest voters/abstainers.

Making the rightmost party more viable does tend to do that

Hurl all the childish indults you want that won't change the reality of the situation.

Them running isn't going to result in anything but help further erase the left's progress more than Trump already did post 2016.

It's the unfortunate history of left leaning third parties in a fptp system.

Some of Hitler's generals wanted to assassinate him, so it doesn't even make sense from the loyalty angle Trump is going for.

an attempt to reach ‘de-escalation through escalation.'

A....what?

That's a wholly dishonest take and anyone paying attention would know better

You're not meaningfully fighting genocide if you let the world backslide into even worse and more open genocidal ideology
