Its not about pretending which side is worse. Ppl that swear allegiance to one side do that about the other. Its about at least trying to find and preserve a balance.
But the country is so polarized that the middle ground is getting blurred ppl went from calling u racist for voting for trump to calling u racist for sitting out and not supporting Dems bc u, in turn, allowed a racist to win.
Then mfs start participating or 'fake supporting' just to avoid the backlash.
Let’s give people the benefit of the doubt and assume they are idiots and voted for Trump in 16’ without knowing he was a racist.
Put your pseudo intellectual concerns aside for one moment and explain to me how you can vote for Trump in 2020 and not condone racism.
No smoke and mirrors. Just answer that question. I really want to hear the argument you are making. And if you are not making that argument, you have to stop citing that position as an absurd position to take just because it might hurt someone’s feelings.
You completely made up the point about any significant portion of people calling non voters racist. I have never heard that.
What non voters did do is help elect a racist into office. Thats empirically true.
Whether that makes people in the group foolishly idealistic, ignorant, negligent or racist - I’ll leave that up to you.
But if nothing else, please explain what you mean by “preserve a balance”.
It sounds like a very reasonable and moderate thing to say on the surface.
But what are you proposing we balance?
And to what end?
