They are making it clear: announce your support for Harris, get harassed.

    Devils advocate here: If she voiced support for Trump, a lot of us here would be equally upset.

      Equally upset? Doubtful. Taking to her Xitter and harassing her? Probably not.

      Man I don’t even reply to my family’s political bullshit on private feeds, what makes you think I’d give 2 neurons of effort calling out a practical stranger out in public?

      I have never cared so strongly about something that I felt it was appropriate to harass someone via Twitter for their views on it.

      I’ll be negatively judging them, sure, but I’m not going to flood their DMs with death threats. That’s some basement dwelling troglodyte bullshit right there.

      The idea is “playing” devil’s advocate. Saying you are the devil’s advocate just screams how ignorant you really are.

      1.) Devil’s* Advocate

      2.) “Equally” is inaccurate at best, and implies that the mentally deficient still fervently rabid for his scatological spew have the capacity for rational thought. 🤷🏼‍♂️

      a lot of us here would be equally upset

      I’m autistic. I navigate the world with more effort, making sense of things with evidence. The evidence heavily suggests that many humans are purposefully trying to make a world which harms humans. This doesn’t upset me.

      So, no, I wouldn’t be upset. It would just be another data point, and I would be one realisation of the moral failure of the human world closer to death.
