Using your mod powers to decide who is allowed and not allowed to speak is not very anarchist of you, @[email protected]

    No it wasn’t. They were justifying and defending Harris and defending voting for Harris. Anti-anarchists don’t get to use anarchist spaces to push anti-anarchist talking points. They have literally almost every other Lemmy instance to push their voting agenda, why should they use ours?

      How were they justifying Harris’s genocide policies? Isn’t defending voting for Harris defending the shitty choice?

        Defending the shitty choice is defending the program of your vote. You can vote for the lesser evil, but do you need to defend the evil? Do you need to justify the evil? No. Just vote. You don’t need to defend or justify evil.

          Then how may I explain that voting for the lesser evil is the best course of action in my state’s scenario? And again, how were they justifying Harris’s genocide policies?

            Have you looked into vote swapping programs? If you want to vote principally yet remain tactical, look into that. But don’t go around providing ideological cover for genocide.

              Based on your argument, one cannot justify the person in the swing state voting for Harris? And again, how were they defending Harris’s genocide policies?
