      You’re already falling with them though?

      It’s not like you only enter the country once you vote. You’re already living there. Shit affects you either way.

        That’s an analogy, not a false choice. Look up the words, I’ll wait.

        Ironically enough, voting for a political party in the US is actually a false dichotomy.

            It must be so easy being a liberal. You can just ignore reality on command if someone calls you out. And there is seemingly no ability for you to feel shame.

            A false dichotomy isn’t about “fake options”. Indeed, a false dichotomy may have two very real options presented.

            Obviously, It’s about restricting options to two instead of many. That is the entire premise of a false dichotomy. I encourage you to read the link you just posted.

            To emphasize: the person you replied to isn’t producing a false dichtomoy. They are analogizing YOUR false dichotomy.

                Brother, I’m a socialist. When we say “liberal” we are talking about capitalists, not American Democrats.

                Not everything is about the US. Take your own advice, and while you’re at it, read a book.

                  You: “Brother when I say A I mean B, it’s your fault you don’t understand me. You are stupid.”

                  I’m not a magician just knowing what you think/feel.

              They do share a fair amount in common with MAGA at this point to me. Just they haven’t found their cult yet.

              Also, I’m talking the political stances of liberalism, not the misused descriptor for liberal meaning left. Liberalism is not left.
