This sounds like the meme.
"You might lose your whole arm, instead of an hand, but that is a sacrifice that I am willing to take."
Also false dichotomy. You can vote Harris and protest. You could literally vote for Harris and join a violent militia group to overthrow Harris.
My brother in Christ, it is an analogy. You cannot piss and moan about how anyone who doesn’t support Kamala, implicitly supports Trump, and then tell me that my analogy for how stupid that false dichotomy is, is itself a false dichotomy. I do not understand.
You think I missed the analogy? No, I used your analogy and it works perfectly fine. If you want to drop the analogy because you don't think the analogy is good, be my guest. Tell me how that counters my point.
I don't know if you know but due to the fact that the USA is a joke democracy, it sadly isn't a false dichotomy. Unless you think, you can change NOW (as you don't have the time to do it later) more than half of the citizens' opinion and get a 3rd party candidate in power. Which is obviously realistic...
Germans? So because Germany is supportive, Germans are? So us citizens are supportive?
I am not American, don't worry. But why would that make me a cunt?
Also why wouldn't I listen to opinions that I disagree with? Do I need to be afraid of them? I can read "mein Kampf" without becoming a Nazi. I recommend you to listen to opinions different your own. Then you are prepared to call people out on their bs because you know the bs to Beginn with.
You wrote "Germans", I point out that treating a whole country as if they all have 1 opinion, is ridiculous. And then your counter is that?
Yes, Germany is a democracy. That doesn't mean shit though. There are many different reasons for voting for a party and in the last election, "should Israel commit a genocide?" Wasn't part of the discussion. So maybe the people in power don't align with their voters on that issue. But even if it was part of the discussion, so are many different things. So in 2021, Germans might have their reasons to vote for people that they would disagree with now. Democracies are flawed, like any other system of governance.
As I am not German, I don't want to speak for them, if you are looking for an opinion
