And I guess a genuine thanks to the angry person in my replies for pinging me awake to see and write that update.
I'm sorry that I made you angry, and I just didn't see us going anywhere worth going in that conversation; especially if the link I shared you and what I wrote is something you perceived as hurling insults. I'm also sorry I couldn't play pretend with you, but I don't think anyone has 10 years to wait around for enough opportunities to stop fascism. I just care about other people, particularly marginalized people under the gun and I don't think it's super appropriate to pretend that "voting Blue down the entire ticket" is an actual solution to the problem at hand, given both the timescale involved and the headman's hard, rightward lurch on immigration and migrant rights:

There's a lot posts I'd have let that comment slide by without a response; although I frankly would rather not talk about voting, your vote, or mine. I certainly don't begrudge anyone their vote for Biden, and I strongly suspect anyone voting for the other guy is only reading this to build a wish list. Your reply however, felt very inappropriate in this context and after mulling it over I think it's really two things. First, I would simply posit that we have vastly different theories on what represents an "acceptable" level of white supremacy in this context, and secondly we have very different opinions on how to affect change in our society. But I care about migrants and brown people, even in "Red States," and I can't pretend your advice would lead to protecting those people - certainly not on an acceptable timescale if you're conceding that it'll take 10 years of voting.
Please understand, I'm not hostile, and I'm not telling anyone not to vote, I'd just rather not talk to you about it and let me analyze the news. If people are more informed, I respect their agency to make choices; I'm not writing for team fascism out here. My apologies that we couldn't be better friends. Peace and good luck to you.
Imma get some sleep.
