    Rewriting the headling: “Most Americans Don’t Understand Nuance.”

    Article body, summarized: “People are too stupid to understand that you can disagree with a candidate’s stance but still recognize that they’re a better choice than the fascist, sexist, predatory, federally indicted criminal.”

      Another correction of the headline:

      “Y’all Cannot Actually Be This Stupid”: an argument on how people are, in fact, this stupid.

      Yep. It’s like how you say “I’m voting for Harris but I don’t like her track record of issues important to me, but she’s not Trump and that’s what matters.” and people instantly harass you into being okay with fracking and murder.

        I feel like a lot of this is Russian bots stirring shit up, Israel is the perfect thing to get people not to vote at all, which is exactly what they want, that’s basically a vote for trump but people are either too privileged or stupid to realize it

          Anything I don’t like is foreign interference, I’m okay with voting for a candidate that endorses genocide, anyone that doesn’t share my views is stupid

          Hell yeah brother. I’m also proud to be a part of the freest country in the universe. 👏More👏trans👏drone👏pilots👏

            Genocide or fascism+genocide, pick one, because those are your two choices at the moment, and not picking counts as a vote for fascism+genocide

            Grow up

        There’s criticism, and then there’s “democrats and Harris are horrible genocidal people and you are supporting genocide if you vote for them” criticism.

        I don’t know of anyone making reasonable and realistic criticism getting downvoted.

          I mean, the trouble is that voting for Democrats does literally support genocide, if only because every president and presidential candidate in modern history has promised and/or enacted genocidal policies. When talking about US politics and genocide, the bar is so low, it’s in hell.

          The nuance to all of the above is that voting for Republicans supports genocide even more. It’s entirely valid to vote for less genocide amongst several genocidal options, and also to call said genocide out.
