In my example I very clearly am rallying against Alice. In every possible way. I would be fuming, throwing stones, screaming to everyone around me. But I would not accept her proposition to Bob. I would not claim that I “have” to play Alice’s game, because she’s in charge and I have to accept that. I don’t have to accept that. At all.
I would do everything I could to stop her, and almost all of my Anger would be towards her, not towards Bob (I obviously would be angry with him too but he’s after all not a murderer - Alice is).
Keep in mind that in the example, Bob probably believes for some reason that when Alice says two, she means ten.
Yes but in your example, not voting for 2 people to die guaranteed 5 did
You talk like voting for Kamala to prevent Trump means you nowbside with Kamala and the system in every way. Voting for the lesser evil does not stops you at all from rallying against the system and doing everything possible to change it.
Vote for whoever you want! What I am saying is that your anger towards your peers who happened to indulge in different propaganda and voted for something different is misdirected.
I do get you, I just do not think letting MAGAs off the hook is accurate, fair or wise for the future… Same way I can understand someone stealing food out of hunger but wouldn’t condone them if they steal with violence
I get some people were fooled into this but I’m convinced MAGAs devotion for trump is not coming from “he’ll make the food cheap again” and more from “that’ll show <insert minority group here> who is the boss around here”
Full disclosure, I’m Canadian so these are not my peers although we do have equivalent ones
Alright, I guess we simply have (somewhat) different opinions on the matter. Also I’m European so my general news intake might (should?) be less focused on domestic US politics and more on foreign policy.

You almost get me!

The voters are not the problem.
