    The first part, we agree. The J6 rioters were fascist insurrectionists, most certainly not Antifa or Black Bloc.

    I don’t agree about voting third or not voting is for her that I shall not name, but I’ll concede it was not that long ago that I would have agreed. I’ve simply had a change in perspective.

    The way anyone who disagree with the mainstream parties’ are virulently attacked as being either “radical leftists/Communists” or inversely, “fascists/Russians/bots”…I can see where Blue Maga makes sense. I would hope you would take time to consider that. Cult of Personality doesn’t just apply to Voldemort or the prosecutor. In Living Color and Disposable Heros of Hiphoprisy both addressed that in those exact words and in so many words, respectively, but it’s been a multitude of years ago, with songs that were rather popular, at the time. Fred Hampton, MLK and other leftist icons (if one can consider MLK leftist) did, as well.

    Although we agree on certain points, and disagree on others, I’m glad you engaged in conversation with me. I think it’s been productive, and humanized us more for each other. I’ll certainly continue to give your sentiments more consideration. I hope you do mine, as well. May you be happy and well. Brightest blessings for you and yours, sincerely.

      Your perspective on this isn’t really relevant, and neither is mine.

      Its pure math. Not voting Harris bolsters Trump, whether its a third party vote or not voting at all.

      I would hope you would take time to consider that.

      I will absolutely not, because its a completely false equivalency. Maga is so much more than accusing someone of shilling. It is in absolutely no way comparable, and is in no way an idea worth entertaining.

      Its garbage. Its intended to mislead. And you, right now, are a perfect example of someone falling for it. You’re taking a minor item, which then becomes an equivalent of literally violent fascists who have no problem being in bed with white supremacists and christian nationalists who want a white christian nation.

      No. It is absolutely not worth contemplating. That is absolutely farcical.

      I hope you do mine, as well.

      I always do consider what others say. I will not, however, waste time on those ideas which are 100% intended to mislead, especially those ideas championed by racist, hateful, fear mongering fascists. Those aren’t worth my time. I don’t think they should be worth yours either.

      Have a good night!
