    I wonder if any of you who stayed home and avoided being a part of the solution regret yours.

    I really don’t know how to get this through your heads. Trump could march me personally into a gas chamber and I still wouldn’t regret my third party vote. If the reason I die is because I was too unwilling to support genocide, then I will die proudly. I did not adopt my position on this idly, on some lark, with no thought of what it could mean.

    If we collectively accepted that genocide was not an acceptable option, there would be no problem, because there’d be now way to avoid the pressure of such a movement. But instead, we have people like you trying to assert that genocide is somehow acceptable and demanding absolute, unconditional support for the democrats, and predictably failing.

    What kind of world would we be living in if everyone in history allowed themselves to be limited by what the system (what the people in power) said was possible? We’d be living under a monarchy with chattel slavery.
