No one should be told they’re purity testing for criticizing the democrats.

Ok, well I am being. In fact, look at InternetCitizen2’s posts to see him stalking me across different unrelated instances to accuse me of it, among other obviously bad faith accusations.

Purity testing would be saying someone can’t be an ally in criticizing the democrats with you because they’re an enemy for voting for them.

Again, look at his post history. I’m comfortable saying I can’t be an ally with someone like that.

If you walked away from that coin flip and left the consequences to chance, I really don’t have a lot of patience hearing you judge me for all the burden and anxiety I put on myself researching which option was worse so I could make the least worst choice.

That’s fine; so long as you’re actually be honest about what you voted for, which is rare. Most of the people I’m talking to actively deny the Democrat’s evil.

Walking away seems the easy choice here. You didn’t stop the genocide, you just washed your hands clean of it.

Atleast I’m not denying it.

Criticizing me for choosing, instead of being an ally, saying “that was a tough choice, but don’t give up **here’s what we can do next” is useless.

I’ll criticize you if you deny what you chose, if you’re honest about it I’ll merely disagree with you.

Instead of saying we should stay home and not vote, suggest something we can do.

I’m just asking people to stop engaging in genocide denial. If lesser evil voting means rewriting history to exonerate the perpetrators of genocide, then I cannot accept it.
