    People gotta confuse reality with movies in order to justify their support for genocide.

    I’ll support kamalacaust when, instead of running for leader of a genocidal empire, she leads a rebel army against it.

    Your options are The Trade Federation or the Old Republic.

    Count Dooku or Senator Palpatine

    And stop asking what happened to all those Younglings. The Trade Federation would kill far more Jedi if they were in power.

    I know Vader choked the life out of the last person who questioned him, but I haven’t seen Leia do enough challenging media interviews.

    Why do you support terrorists?

    The Empire has a right to defend itself

    Those Rebel Terrorists were using human shields

    The ones responsible for the destruction of Alderaan were those Rebel Terrorists, we gave a very humane 30 minute evacuation warning after all

      The rebels destroyed Alderaan with their own superweapon they had been developing underground. The Imperial Navy is the most moral force in the galaxy.

      OK, the Death Star did fire on Alderaan, but it was a targeted, focused strike that hit a rebel facility which caused their superweapon to explode and destroy the planet, the Empire had no idea that would happen. The Imperial Navy is the most moral force in the galaxy.

      OK, the Death Star did destroy the planet, but the rebels were still developing a superweapon and even more people would’ve died otherwise. The Imperial Navy is the most moral force in the galaxy.

      OK, the rebels weren’t developing a superweapon on Alderaan, but the destruction of the planet were the actions of a rogue moff acting without approval. The Imperial Navy is the most moral force in the galaxy.

      OK, the Emperor’s right hand man was in the room when it was decided, but Emperor Palpatine has invited every surviving Alderaanian to his own private resort world, and they’re also rebuilding with a new colony on Ejolus. The Imperial Navy is the most moral force in the galaxy.

      OK, the colony on Ejolus has been wiped out, but they were harboring rebels. The Imperial Navy is the most moral force in the galaxy.

      So your argument is that everybody is evil and thus we should give up voting and thus ensuring that there is no hope for democracy vs. Accepting even 1% chance that this election won’t change our future for the better?

        Lol removed for “misinformation”. I’m saying that a system that produces genocides, no matter who you vote for is a lost cause. It sucks, it’s depressing, and I don’t fault you for coping with it however you see fit. For myself, well, I can’t explain myself too well without sounding like I’m insulting you, but I won’t sign my name in support of someone who looks an awful lot to me (okay mods?) like a genocidal monster.

    ‘Princess’ establishment chosen Lyin’ Leiyah is clearly just trying to turn the empire back into the corrupt old Republic and force everyone to accept all aliens including the despicable Gran who don’t deserve rights because they don’t look or act like me. I heard she was even there when Alderaan was destroyed and did nothing.

    Death Stars don’t kill people. Traitors who won’t give up the location of the secret Rebel base kill people.
