In a post titled “Trump is symbolic of the rot of the US government”, they were calling the concept of “harm reduction” (as in, voting for the person who’s not literally Hitler) “bullshit that liberals tell themselves because they know that what they support is evil”, because they’re a sane, mature human who is not at all stupid as hell.

They didn’t really like it when I pushed back on that narrative by pointing out that far more people have been harmed in the first 2 years of a Trump presidency than would have been over 8 years of a Harris presidency. Que sera, sera.

    Do you honestly think deportations and deaths are the same measurement of suffering?

      No? I just did the same as you, I pointed to a singular data point that supported my believe even when I know it doesnt show the full picture and while I am aware there are others that could contradict my point.

      Because this argument is not about facts at all, its about what you believe how 8 years of Harris would have gone, even if you do not actually know it and will never know it.
