If they can elect a felon to the white house, so could we.

Again, Harris lost, which is what you wanted. The right-winger won. That was the only other option, so it must have been what you wanted.

So I have no idea why you're calling me right-wing. Or why you're defending Trump.

No, I wanted a left wing populist. Or at least someone that promised popular (>60%) policies like m4a, stopping support of Israel, elimination of given BLM mining/drilling contracts, maybe even mention minimum wage.

Instead we got a right wing cop with a border policy more draconic than anything Trump has ever suggested.

No shit she lost. She wasn't different, and used the least popular policies.

Again, there were two viable options- Trump or Harris. You made it clear just now that Harris should have lost. That means you wanted Trump to win.

And now you're defending him by saying he won't be a dictator even though he literally says he'll be a dictator and that he won't be committing genocides even though he has made his genocidal plans very clear and he's being aided in them right now.

So, again, you got what you wanted and you're defending your choice. So I have no idea why you're calling me right-wing.

Both of them should have lost. Most people are worse off now than in 2020. Another four years of either Harris or Trump is bad. Supporting wither right wing option makes you right wing. Repeating the bullshit argument that you had no choice but to vote for genocide and mass deportation does nothing to change anything.

Now I voted for Trump? I thought I supported Biden and Harris. Make up your mind.

[–] theonlytruescotsman@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Nope, you voted for Harris, who explicitly supported genocide and mass deportation.

I can see why you have the reputation you do.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

So let me get this straight... Harris wanted genocide and mass deportation, but Trump doesn't want either of those things.

[–] theonlytruescotsman@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Never said that. Both wanted those.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

This you?

We’re not in a dictatorship, or rather we’re in the same exact dictatorship of capital.

How do you think either Harris or Trump would achieve mass deportations and genocide without dictatorial powers?

Please explain the legal mechanism.

This should be good.

[–] theonlytruescotsman@sh.itjust.works -2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Sure. See the bill introduced by the Biden administration for exact details on that. Trump aligned Republicans stopped it from getting passed, as it would have removed he entirety of Trump's immigration platform.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

If it did, you can explain the legal mechanism for mass deportations and genocide without dictatorial powers.

Please do so.
