“We recognize that, in the next four years, our decision may cause us to have an even more difficult time. But we believe that this will give us a chance to recalibrate, and the Democrats will have to consider whether they want our votes or not.”
That’s gotta be one of the strangest reasonings I’ve heard in a while.
I agree, probably wouldn’t be. Couple that with all of the other threats to our world that Trump poses and “we’re not happy with Biden’s Israel/Palenstine issue so we’re pulling support” seems incredibly stupid to me.
But the poster implied they were supporting Trump, when they pretty clearly said they do not. Right there in the excerpt from the article. And it’s still being upvoted. It’s kind of embarrassing, actually, how little people had to read what is right in front of them to not be wrong on this point. . .and it’s still a popular opinion getting upvotes.
In a two-party system, refusing support to one party is effectively supporting the other. It’s not an insane thing to accuse people of, regardless of what they say.
If you check out the research work done by the political compass, you see it’s actually a one party system wearing a two party outfit.
Oh, lord.
Go check it out. They track democracies from all over the world. It is not partisan. They do not take pundits. They track policies and statements from the officials themselves. If you do not like actual sources, then I don’t know what to tell you. American candidates for the presidency have largely been on the authoritarian right for a decade. Candidates from both parties end up very close to each other on the chart.
