    “Pick the less bad option, millions of lives depend on it.”

    “OH, so if the LESS BAD option was CONSIDERABLY WORSE than it was in 2024, you’d still pick it???”

    Literally yes, but that’s not contradictory to the argument of the meme - ie that THE ACTUAL PRACTICAL LIVES OF HUMAN FUCKING BEINGS IN MARGINALIZED GROUPS DEPEND ON FASCISM BEING DEFEATED, AND YOUR ONLINE STREET CRED AND STRANGE NOTION OF MAINTAINING A POLITICALLY PURE SOUL MEANS JACK SHIT IN COMPARISON

    We fought to get to a position where trans people aren’t on the chopping block every fucking election and that gruesome outcome doesn’t have to occur unlike, say, in 18 fucking 60, and you want to send them back to it because it’ll make you feel good when you cast your ballot?

    Fuck off with that shit.

      PugJesus, voting in the 1932 German election:

      “Yes, it is a shame what we have to do to what what Hitler wants to do to the German Jews. But it’s simply the greatest good for the greatest number. Sacrifices must be made. Yes, we’ll sacrifice the Jews, but in turn we’ll have greater social cohesion and the rest of German society will advance and prosper. We’ll be wealthier and happier without the Jews dragging us down. I’m sorry, it’s a tragedy, but it simply must be done. The practical lives of real human beings demand that we enact fascism. Your political purity means jack shit in comparison, we simply have to do what is in the best interest of the German people.”

        Me: “Pick the less bad option against the fucking fascists.”

        You: “Oh, he must be saying vote for the fascists!”

        Good job. Typical of your posting throughout this thread.

        Tell me more about how you’d support Hitler over the ‘imperfect’ SPD.
