      No but I can prove they’re short-sighted; and those two things go hand-in-hand. In my experience I’ve frankly yet to see someone older than like 22-years-old espouse such self-defeating beliefs and goals.

      I can also prove that right-wing extremists engage in political astroturfing routinely and that according to investigative reporting these far-right groups intend to muddy the waters.

      Taken from there, it takes very little ink (inductive reasoning) to connect the dots.

          EDIT: Observe the user below spamming multiple replies to the same comment. This is part of the gaslighting gish-gallop tactic I’ve noted. There is a user here I suspect of having many alt accounts and who frequently does this. I encourage you to report them for spam.

          what methodology is available to you to prove such an accusation?

          If I may, a thing called logic.

          • If your goal is to minimize genocide, both in Palestine and Ukraine.
          • If your goal is to ensure that we don’t fall further into fascism.
          • If the choices on the ballot in November are a constant, regardless of anything else that happens.
          • If you understand the nature of entropy in that maintaining let alone building-upon a trillion-piece puzzle is exceedingly more taxing than smashing it.
          • If other guy is significantly-worse for Ukrainians, Palestinians, US, and the World.
          • If you understand the mathematical trend of FPTP and the Spoiler Effect.

          … Then one understands the logical choice is voting for Biden and doing anything else from not voting, voting Republican, voting 3rd-party, writing-in – is utterly self-defeating and short-sighted to the aforementioned goals.

          If you don’t understand these things, then yes, one might have built their ardent beliefs atop a house of cards.
