It feels kinda good to think that some Washington think tank might be calling me a double hater
They’re probably old, senile and out of touch millionaires who are insulated from any consequences.
The irony of calling “double hater” people who as a general rule don’t like people who spread hate or actively support those who practice hate, is also delicious and kind of says everything one needs to know about the Doublethink style of discourse of the people making up such labels.
Being truly anti-hate as a principle logically makes one be both against Trump and Biden, one for spreading hate and the other for actively supporting people practicing their hate aginst men, women and children with extreme violence.
I’m among them. Thought, Harris still wouldn’t have been mu first choice but she’s a hell of a lot better than Biden.
Agreed. I’d rather see Tim Walz for prez.
So maybe it speeks well for her, that she picked him for VP.
Rules for not losing election*:
- Don’t insult the intelligence of your voters by calling them double haters.
- Don’t insult the intelligence of your voters by pretending that they won’t remember that you supported a genocidal maniac. No, the opposition being worse doesn’t excuse your depravity.
- Don’t insult the intelligence of your voters by beating them with the stick of facism. They already understand what’s on the line. Debating online is different from voting.
*Does not apply to conservatives who worship Trump
I very much don’t think your average person understands the threat of fascism or what’s on the line, I feel like that belief comes from being in a left leaning echo chamber.
Obviously anecdotal but the vast majority of people I know are not great about consuming news, are not politically active, and don’t believe this election will have the deep consequences that I do.
Your first paragraph doesn’t really make sense as those on the left tend to be the most keenly aware of the dangers of fascism, since
a) First they came for LGBTQ+ people (which was left out of the poem since it was written by a conservative priest who was fine with persecution of THEM) and then they came for us
b) it’s always us that end up having to fight fascists alone since the liberals try to negotiate with them (or stay out of it at first and then join them like they did in Italy with Mussolini) and the others on the far right try to become their allies
Unless you consider Neoliberals left leaning. In which case you’re MORE wrong, but your logic is more consistent.
So…Kennedy voters?
