    Article body, summarized: ā€œPeople are too stupid to understand that you can disagree with a candidateā€™s stance but still recognize that theyā€™re a better choice than the fascist, sexist, predatory, federally indicted criminal.ā€

      Yep. Itā€™s like how you say ā€œIā€™m voting for Harris but I donā€™t like her track record of issues important to me, but sheā€™s not Trump and thatā€™s what matters.ā€ and people instantly harass you into being okay with fracking and murder.

        I feel like a lot of this is Russian bots stirring shit up, Israel is the perfect thing to get people not to vote at all, which is exactly what they want, thatā€™s basically a vote for trump but people are either too privileged or stupid to realize it

          Hey Iā€™m voting for Harris, I just think its important to call out bad takes from anyone, including those who I vote for. I do it for my local and my federal offices. I email my republican congress members (they donā€™t respond beyond the default robot reply) and I complain to my democratic senators.

          Anything I donā€™t like is foreign interference, Iā€™m okay with voting for a candidate that endorses genocide, anyone that doesnā€™t share my views is stupid

          Hell yeah brother. Iā€™m also proud to be a part of the freest country in the universe. šŸ‘MorešŸ‘transšŸ‘dronešŸ‘pilotsšŸ‘

            Genocide or fascism+genocide, pick one, because those are your two choices at the moment, and not picking counts as a vote for fascism+genocide

            Grow up

      ā€œMost Americans Donā€™t Understand Nuance.ā€

      Most people, regardless of nationality, donā€™t understand nuance. Thatā€™s why Winston Churchill once said that the biggest argument against democracy is talking to an average person for five minutes.

        God damnit, I knew someone would do this. Case in point this is specifically about the American elections, therefore the nuanced implication refers to that.

        Yes, this can be extended. But youā€™re now being inclusive of the rest of the worldā€™s shortcomings for what? The article is about Chappell Roan and the morons bitching about her not endorsing Kamala. Not voters in the UK.

          Typical American think their experience is the only universal truth and their group only matters in any discussion.

          American exceptionalism never fails; as if Americans are the only ones getting the same problem.

      Another correction of the headline:

      ā€œYā€™all Cannot Actually Be This Stupidā€: an argument on how people are, in fact, this stupid.

      It certainly doesnā€™t help that most democrats see any criticism of Kamala as tacit support of Trump.

        Thereā€™s criticism, and then thereā€™s ā€œdemocrats and Harris are horrible genocidal people and you are supporting genocide if you vote for themā€ criticism.

        I donā€™t know of anyone making reasonable and realistic criticism getting downvoted.

          I mean, the trouble is that voting for Democrats does literally support genocide, if only because every president and presidential candidate in modern history has promised and/or enacted genocidal policies. When talking about US politics and genocide, the bar is so low, itā€™s in hell.

          The nuance to all of the above is that voting for Republicans supports genocide even more. Itā€™s entirely valid to vote for less genocide amongst several genocidal options, and also to call said genocide out.
