minus-squareBilliam@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up13·1 month agoBlinks That… is nothing the fuck like extortion. “Vote for me or I’ll release these pictures of you fucking your dog” is extortion. “Vote for me because my opponent will make this issue you claim to care about worse” is not.
minus-squareTheOubliette@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up5·1 month ago“Vote for me or my friend here will kill your dog” is the alleged scenario. Though really the person making that threat is also saying they will kill your dog.
minus-squarefutatorius@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 month ago That sounds like some extortion. Life gives us hard choices. Whining that they don’t perfectly suit your pristine moral absolutism doesn’t change that.

minus-squareTheOubliette@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up5·1 month agoNormalizing genocide is not a hard choice, it just confronted boilerplate Dem propaganda and any pretense of being a good person. If you are intetested in doing real political work it will not be something as minor as a single vote for 99% Hitler vs. 98% Hitler.
