    You have no choice but to vote for the genocide enabler. It is the only way to save “democracy.” The type of democracy where you have to support the abhorrent to keep out the truly monstrous and if you say you won’t, a bunch of self important liberals will pretend it’s all your fault and not the parade of geriatric ghouls the party has been nominating

      Yes, isn’t it terrible when democracy doesn’t agree with you? The only TRULY democratic society is one where those pesky proles listen to those who know what’s good for them, right?

          Yes, only a paltry plurality. If only there were a way that the option that even less people agree with could win.

        Lol what?

        Isn’t this literally the message of the meme?

          No, and I don’t really know how you could come to that conclusion, since the meme doesn’t say anything about whether any given act or ideal is ‘true democracy’.

            “If leftists don’t vote for Biden they are stupid”

            5 minutes later…

            “Wow why do you think I’m telling the proles how to vote?”

              Yeah, if you allow fascism in order to stop a non-fascist government, you’re a fascist enabler.

              “Wow why do you think I’m telling the proles how to vote?”

              I didn’t realize pointing out consequences of losing a democratic election, and advocating voting for a candidate in that democratic election order to avoid those consequences, was anti-democratic. Thank you for teaching me this, O Great Leftist.

                  As a citizen, it’s my duty to speak out against what I feel are bad choices for the polity. I didn’t realize advocacy of voting for (or against) a specific candidate or issue through speech was so anti-democratic. I’m learning a lot from you today.

                    You’re really leaning into this idea that I’m saying you’re being anti democratic. I thought I was clear but here goes:

                    Having no choice but to vote for a genocide because of a two party system where both send bombs to Israel is not exactly democracy at it’s best.

                    Brow beating leftists who take issue with this is “telling the proles how to vote.”

                    These are two points. I hope that clears things up
