There are no monsters on the left that's the fallacy You don't get to rewrite the "trolley problem" and pretend it's not a fallacy because you didn't mention trolleys

Wait, you want claim genocide Joe/Kamala are on the right? I guess if your argument doesn't support reality just change the reality itself.

In that case I guess what is "left" ? You can always find someone more left than another... And move the goal post to fit your argument.

Absolutely. If, for example, on the yardstick of possible political positions in Western developed and democratic nations, you cut off the leftward three-quarters and discard it then yes, the Dem establishment might make it into the left half of what remains. Maybe. But overall, they're...

... in the business of keeping the gravy train running for their billionaire backers, they don't care much about the average person, and in most people's guide to political positioning, that counts as being on the right.

I don't disagree with some parts.. it still doesn't change my view that everything should've been done to prevent the current administration's from taking over.

I agree. Had I been an American I'd have voted for Harris. But I'd have done so with the sickening sense I was voting for a severely compromised party with nothing to offer except their repellent was less repellent than the alternative. I can't believe I'm sitting here typing 'I would have...

... voted for a party complicit in genocide,' but there it is. I would have done. I just thank God I'm not an American and didn't have to. Not to put too fine a point on it, America is fucked. And it's far, far, far from all down to Trump.

So why did the Democrat anoint Kamala as the candidate? She couldn't even get a delegate in her home state, had to drop out to avoid the embarrassment

Democrats haven't been "on the left" since FDR, and his boast of "I saved capitalism" sorta belies that somewhat

Whatever left or right means, if u saw 2 monsters, one that eats 900ppl more than the other, you AT LEAST can't claim any moral high ground for watching the additional 900 get devoured.This ain't the trolly problem cuz ur not directing it to another group. That group will get eaten either way.

And yeah, you can. You might fail to stop the fascist monster from exterminating children … But you still fought it and prevented it from exterminating more children. Now, we face another fascist monster to fight to,,, WHY ARE YOU PEOPLE IDOLIZING THE LAST MONSTER?!?

There's no "trolley" it's just a metaphor you use to avoid the fact that you approve of genocide I hope it salves your conscience somewhat, but everyone still sees it

There was a very slow descent into the condescending, egged by a barrage of insults, but I guess you're free to make your assessment based on a single tweet.. Alas!
