The detail/degree matters.
Its crazy to prefer the speedy arsonist, or to leave the decision up to other arsonists, when you and your family are in the house

choose the arsonist who wants to burn your house down slowly, so you have more opportunities to escape or mitigate the damage.

Except the dems refuse to be pushed left and constantly move right so really you're just gonna die a slower death. I'd rather go out waving my middle finger at both arsonists

But you're waving while standing inside the burning house where they can't see you. Your protest just makes it more likely that the speedy arsonist gets the chance, and does nothing to harm either of the arsonists.

Yes I agree, my finger waving is just for me, it's to make me feel better while I die because I have no other option.

As I said in my last comment, the slow arsonist (dems) have repeatedly demonstrated and continue to demonstrate that they will never move left and will only move right so that means that even if they are the slower arsonists I still have no opportunity to "escape or mitigate the damage." as you put it because the dems are working their hardest to block all of those opportunities and refuse to ever open those opportunities to the country.

We're all fucked

i could copy my entire last response to u here again and it would be equally valid, because u have said literally nothing that u didnt already say and that i didnt already respond to, to safe myself the annoyance how about u just read it again untill u get it.

Your priorities just make no sense to me.

Yes both parties are bad, but voting for one is voting for more opportunities to save yourself.
The decision to prioritize giving them the middle finger where nobody can see it over helping yourself is something I can't get my head around. Your resistance does nothing but help the speedy arsonist.

It feels like you're just listing off talking points to score cool points with a bunch of Lemmy edgelords.
