It's not a false choice. It's reality. You can either choose to oppose Trump or you can decide it's fine.
To be clear, I'm in a red state that has been directly impacted by Trump's judicial picks and his MAGA extremism. I take personal offense against me and my family when people don't do the bare minimum to keep Trump out of power.
The classic Democrat argument: But that other guy!
No useful policy proposal for me to get excited about, no promise of material improvement in my life. Just "They're worse!"
You can take all the offense you want, but let me be clear: I’m not voting for Harris, and I sure as hell won’t be voting for Trump.
The real false choice here is being forced to pick between two faces of the same oppressive system.
And for the record, as I have said, I am not even voting for Jill Stein. I’ve shifted my support to a more socialist candidate, Rachele Fruit, because I refuse to be bullied into backing a duopoly that keeps the working class in chains.
If you think doing the bare minimum is enough to stop Trump, then you’ve already surrendered to the system that put him there.
If you're not doing the bare minimum, your opinion literally does not matter.
Also, nobody said bare minimum is enough. It's the bare minimum, by definition.
If you're content with doing just the bare minimum, then you're settling for a system that barely works for the people. Real change demands more than just the basics; it requires a fight, a push beyond what's convenient or easy.
Nobody said to ONLY do the bare minimum. I said you're doing less than the bare minimum.
I'm thinking you're being intentionally dense.
If pushing for real change beyond the bare minimum makes me "dense," then I'll wear that label proudly.
But that’s not what you’re doing. You just come here to start specious arguments then claim victimhood when you get called out for it.
You just come here to start specious arguments
I shared a political news article to this political news community on Lemmy. And I have never claimed to be a victim.
I didn’t write the article, my friend. This community values diverse political views and open discussion.

what a narcissistic and self-centered thing to believe
Oh gosh, not at all. I'm honored that you let me help you. You're the hero in this scenario!
