The number of incarcerated people in California people went down under Kamala Harris.

you might be too willfully ignorant to look it up yourself

I don't need to argue that there isn't a tea pot in space. But in this case, your argument's claim has already been fact checked.

Look, you’re just hurting the cause when you flat out lie.

Yes, this is what your argument is doing. Lying isn't being realistic. Fascism is a real political position not just something to call people you don't like. Vote for Kamala because doing so is useful to achieving socialism and majority rule in the long run.

It will be devastating to him even as a compliment so please do.

when she has a verifiable fascist track record.

I would ask for a source but I know you can't provide that, because your argument's statement is false.

There’s no need to make up some fantasy that she’s a good person. We’re voting for her already.

Kamala is a neoliberal, which is a right of center, or leaning-right, position on the political spectrum. Which means she wants to incrementally improve society. This is insufficient to prevent climate change or fix our democracy. But it's still better than a christo-fascist takeover that will kill millions of people and actively seek to worsen climate change.

Making up a fantasy that she is a fascist is going to hurt her chances in the election. Conflating the candidates, in this case falsely, will suppress voter turnout. So please stop doing it.

Trump is a fascist. He's been talking about the enemy from within and sending the national guard and the military after people on the left.

"I think the bigger problem is the enemy from within … We have some very bad people we have some sick people, radical left lunatics," he said.

Any unrest, Trump said, "should be very easily handled by, if necessary, by National Guard, or if really necessary by the military, because they can’t let that happen."

Exactly. There's nothing wrong with being weird. I'm weird. It's the fact that it shatters their egos is what makes it so effective. They have to think of themselves as normal or else they'll have a melt down.

If you type : and then blob a whole bunch of cute emoji's come up. You can do : blob cat and : blob fox without spaces. The list is so long it can take awhile to load them all. There are some in the emoji section if you search blob but no all of them. edit: typo

Even though Israel is controlled by fascists currently, the US and the international community have a lot of leverage to use against them. We should use it. But under Trump we definitely won't.

The electoral college favors low population states. Republicans historically do well in low population states. In order to correct for this overrepresentation, Democrats need high voter turnout. So not voting or or voting third party depresses that high voter turnout Democrats need to win. This is why tankies and accelerationists spend so much time falsely conflating Kamala and Trump. They know they need to discourage as many people from voting for Kamala as possible to get Trump elected. So Vote!

The Republican strategy is to contest the election in every state, county, and polling place. We need high voter turnout to prevent contested elections all over the country. No matter where people live, even California, our votes matter.

We live in a first-past-the-post system so everyone is systemically disincentivized to vote third party. Voting third party acts as a spoiler for the Democrats. And historically when Democrats lose they move further to the right. The most useful course of action is for everyone to vote for Kamala so we can start shifting the Overton window to the left.

No, I, a registered independent, trans person, am telling you this. People who are actually on the left are telling you this.

We live in a democracy. If we want to keep living in a democracy we need to vote for Kamala, because Trump is running on ending on our democracy and starting a christo-fascist dictatorship.
