    Maybe be mad at the dems for doing literally nothing to get votes rather than people that don’t want to vote for genocide?

      You don’t get the choice of no genocide. You get the choice between some genocide far away, or lots of genocide far away and some more at home.

      I suppose that not voting is a choice, but that choice isn’t “I don’t want genocide”, that choice is “I don’t care how much genocide we have”.

        If genocide is an inevitability, that means that the US is a fascist state which must be overthrown by any means necessary, and any farcical “elections” between two people who support genocide are a joke that should not be legitimized through participation!

        phoenix-objection-1phoenix-objection-2 The fact that you’re defending genocide as an inevitability is, in fact, a perfect demonstration of the harm caused by this very participation! The reason that you’ve taken such an abhorrent position is because you’ve centered the US political system as an immovable object. But the real immovable object should be… STOPPING GENOCIDE!

        If your political project cannot draw a hard line against endorsing genocide, then it is worthless!

      One of two people are going to win. You can have Joe Biden, or you can gamble that Donald “Israel should finish the job” Trump, who kicked off 2017 with an unconstitutional “Muslim ban,” will do a complete 180 this time.

      Protip: it seems to be the lefties who dislike genocide and Trumpanzees have oppositional defiant disorder, so it certainly will not be getting better under Donald.

      It’s fucking weird to pretend you dislike genocide while agitating for an openly racist authoritarian insurrectionist to take office. Like were you asleep for the 20th Century portion of history class or have the middle schools not gotten to that part yet?

      If you need anything more than “the other candidate is a fascist running openly on a platform of doing fascism” to do everything you can to vote and get others out to the polls too, you may turn your ally badge in and sit at the table with all the other fascists.

      Formal proposal that all the grammable marches and rallies post security that check for proof of having voted to get let in, sounds like a club bouncer, but these people are coming hard with “bachelorette party at a gay club” energy anyways.

        If you think supporting genocide is not a fascist position, then I don’t know what to tell you.
