    1. There are two choices in the United States 2024 election. No third party stands a ghost of a chance of winning. No, not even if the 30,000 people you can reach on Lemmy all vote for Timothy Greenparty.
    2. A Trump victory in 2024 would not only be just as bad if not worse for the citizens of Gaza than Harris would, but also pose an existential threat to a large number of vulnerable Americans (trans people, immigrants, women seeking abortions).
    3. Given the margins of victory in 2016 and 2020, Kamala might not win if leftists don’t vote for her.
    4. Snoozing fascism for four years is better than inviting it through the door now, and buys us time to build our defenses for when it comes back.

    I’d like to focus my counterargument. Which of these statements do you disagree with?

      Unfortunately, you can’t vote away fascism. I think things might get a little rough soon regardless of which party wins.

        It sounds like you disagree with statement 4. Is that right?

            Other people in this thread have already replied telling you why that’s wrong, so I don’t see why I should bother.
