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

This sounds like the meme.
"You might lose your whole arm, instead of an hand, but that is a sacrifice that I am willing to take."
Also false dichotomy. You can vote Harris and protest. You could literally vote for Harris and join a violent militia group to overthrow Harris.
Its not a false dichotomy, as the choice is trump or biden and you can only vote for one.
You also would be better off thinking about what the person wrote instead of parroting back a meme that uses similar words.
Not even sure where you think that comes from because its either horribly misquoted or its literally not a common saying.
You seem to misunderstand. I am not saying trump or Harris (not Biden) is a false dichotomy. I am saying, voting for Harris and fighting the system is a false dichotomy. Regardless of whether or not Harris is part of the system, you can vote Harris and protest the system.
I did think about what they said. They affectively say, I am willing to risk trump in a seemingly close election between trump and Harris because both are supportive of Israel and therefore they want to vote for a 3rd party candidate. So they are saying on a response to a post which is the meme in question, they are willing to risk a man who said that the IDF has to finish up and finish what they started because then he can feel better about his vote.
I am not sure what quote you mean.
Americans are the one cutting hands.
If your vote in america you are a disguisting cunt. And maybe do not listen to the opinion of germans on this since they are fully on board with genocide.
Germans? So because Germany is supportive, Germans are? So us citizens are supportive?
I am not American, don't worry. But why would that make me a cunt?
Also why wouldn't I listen to opinions that I disagree with? Do I need to be afraid of them? I can read "mein Kampf" without becoming a Nazi. I recommend you to listen to opinions different your own. Then you are prepared to call people out on their bs because you know the bs to Beginn with.
Is germany not a democracy?
You wrote "Germans", I point out that treating a whole country as if they all have 1 opinion, is ridiculous. And then your counter is that?
Yes, Germany is a democracy. That doesn't mean shit though. There are many different reasons for voting for a party and in the last election, "should Israel commit a genocide?" Wasn't part of the discussion. So maybe the people in power don't align with their voters on that issue. But even if it was part of the discussion, so are many different things. So in 2021, Germans might have their reasons to vote for people that they would disagree with now. Democracies are flawed, like any other system of governance.
As I am not German, I don't want to speak for them, if you are looking for an opinion
Too easy. Establish people's court. Find the responsible. Hang them for complicity in extermination. Extermination being a crime have entered in customary law after ww2 and is defined as "large scale killing of people". More than 40k people died already (that we know off), and nobody is denying that.
Otherwise you have blood on your hand.
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?
