It has been said a gazillion times over the last few months, but is it getting through to those who need to hear it?

    Whew the tankies and astroturfers are out in force in these comments. I think we got the gamut going here:

    1. “I don’t vote for genocide”
    2. “A vote for 3rd party isn’t a vote for Trump”
    3. “If we don’t vote 3rd party nothing will change”
    4. “Jill Stein isn’t a Russian asset”
    5. “Who cares if Trump wins; they’re both bad / nothing worse will happen l both sides”
    6. “I literally don’t understand how Trump can win if I vote 3rd party because I don’t understand the difference between voting for and against a candidate”
    7. “Liberals / Democrats / Harris voters are the real fascists”

    Solid work astroturfers! Glad to see you’re still trotting out these arguments despite plenty of Lemmy users discrediting each and every one. Really shows grit and dedication.

    Also, calling it now that at least one of them replies with something about how they’re true / haven’t been discredited.

      “Who cares if Trump wins; they’re both bad / nothing worse will happen l both sides”

      Trump’s RIGHT NOW basically talking about forming up goon squads and kicking out immigrants on the basis of some law passed in the 1700s and people are still pretending like this dude isn’t basically a Hitler.

      “I don’t vote for genocide”

      Yeah…about that…a vote that helps Trump is one that not only exacerbates the ongoing genocide in the middle east, but starts up a new one right here. He’s talking seriously about military tribunal and gas chamber type shit in “Operation Aurora”.

      I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re actually Trump supporters, just trying to get the swing voters to be all pessimistic and get them not to vote or vote 3rd party.
