    A red line is saying, “no, fuck this. There are some things you just can’t excuse. Both of these people belong in jail. I will not vote for either of them, as neither of these people are going to help. I’m voting for someone else and looking towards the next election.”

    So it’s the “extricating yourself from moral dilemmas” kind of broken. The option you wanted wasn’t on the ballot, so the entire world can burn for all you care. I don’t want more people dead, and that’s EXACTLY THE SAME as wanting all the disabled people and jews dead. I’d call you a clown but you’re not even funny

    “They all thought they were being good people, and so do you, which makes you evil like them” is such a weird take

      “But I don’t understand, I voted for fascism lite the last 6 elections, why am I suddenly living under fascism?”

        “Both options sell weapons to Israel so I’m not going to cast a vote for either of them. Oh no, why is abortion illegal? Why are trans people not allowed to legally update their gender? Why does ICE have a bigger budget than the Marines? Why are they deporting US citizens? Why did they cut the already barebones healthcare we have? Why are they bringing fucking asbestos back? Why is the Secretary of Health and Human Services in favor of spreading bird flu and against vaccines? Why are they actively deciding to give our kids cavities? Why has the Supreme Court decided that the president can violate the constitution? Why have they demolished every scientific institution in the country?”

          Why? Because for decades Democrats have been ignoring all long term strategy and only voting for “the most important election ever.” It’s short term thinking that kills you in the long run. Republicans are much better at long term thinking than liberals like yourself.
