    Rewriting the headling: “Most Americans Don’t Understand Nuance.”

    Article body, summarized: “People are too stupid to understand that you can disagree with a candidate’s stance but still recognize that they’re a better choice than the fascist, sexist, predatory, federally indicted criminal.”

      “Most Americans Don’t Understand Nuance.”

      Most people, regardless of nationality, don’t understand nuance. That’s why Winston Churchill once said that the biggest argument against democracy is talking to an average person for five minutes.

      Yep. It’s like how you say “I’m voting for Harris but I don’t like her track record of issues important to me, but she’s not Trump and that’s what matters.” 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, that’s basically a vote for trump but people are either too privileged or stupid to realize it

          Hey I’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 don’t respond beyond the default robot reply) and I complain to my democratic senators.

          Anything I don’t like is foreign interference, I’m okay with voting for a candidate that endorses genocide, anyone that doesn’t share my views is stupid

          Hell yeah brother. I’m also proud to be a part of the freest country in the universe. 👏More👏trans👏drone👏pilots👏

            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

      Another correction of the headline:

      “Y’all Cannot Actually Be This Stupid”: an argument on how people are, in fact, this stupid.
