      I know I’ll get downvoted for this, and to be clear, all of our governments supporting this genocide are absolute bullshit and capitalism is bullshit.

      However, at least you had one choice that wasn’t actively also trying to destroy your own country and take away the rights of people in your own country to such an extent that they now can’t even worry about what’s happening elsewhere because they’re too worried trying to find healthcare and not get deported, killed, or permanently detained.

      If you were going to not vote in order to take down the system, then show up and take down the god damn fucking system.

        If both parties are doing a genocide right now, how can you argue this is a bad thing?

        From a global perspective, the U.S. empire can’t end soon enough. It’ll even be good for the U.S. if we manage to take all that money reserved for worldwide slaughter and build houses and pay for education with it. Unfortunately, none of that appears likely to happen unless the empire crashes and burns first. Whether we can make something better out of that is another question.

        When a normal, moral person discover that a country is hellbent on genocide, they would think that destroying that country is a good thing.

        take away the rights of people in your own country

        The genocide in the colonies must continue for the benefit of the people in the capital.

        they now can’t even worry about what’s happening elsewhere

        So you were worrying before? Certainly didn’t accomplish anything.

        Let me give you this dilemma, given the imperial nature of the US and that you need an overhaul of the system, isn’t trump the perfect candidate to vote to do just that?

            You made me think I supported someone who was against Palestine, he literally does not say that, you only infer that just because he isn’t fully anti-democrat and is using the ‘lesser evil’ arguement

              Where the fuck did I say Palestine would destroy Israel?

              I am 100% pro-Palestine, I just genuinely do not understand how voting someone in who has exponentially sped up the genocide and sped up the suffering of brown, queer people and women, in his own country is somehow the more moral choice in all of this. It doesn’t make any fucking sense to me.

      I mean it is though, at least from a numbers perspective.

      Neither should happen but since i don’t get that choice, I choose the option that saves millions of lives.

      Not to mention the US is now party to the Ukraine genocide too.

      not to mention the real threat to foreign born citizens and LGBTQ people in the United States itself.

      So yes Biden is better even if we are dealing with shades of black

        This is also false. Biden drastically upped the military aid to Israel after Trump left office.

        The US democrats are a vicious, genocidal party.

            It’s okay, we got it. You supported genocide and now you are trying to justify it so you can sleep at night.

            The only true unserious people here are those who defend a genocidal monster even when the monster literally confessed to be one.

                You can’t answer it either, lol, that’s why you’ve been reduced to pretending you can influence the Dems when you’ve conclusively demonstrated that you can’t.

                You have no idea how I voted, or if I live in a swing state, or if I’m even eligible to vote, so shut your presumptuous mouth. More to the point, only a BlueMaga lunatic could try to claim that not voting for genocide supports genocide twice as much as voting for genocide. Like, you don’t actually believe in anything, not even the meaning of words; you’ll just say whatever you can to confuse and antagonize.

        Except now Trump is starting to play hardball with Netanyahu, and is distinctly unhappy with the the U.S. taking so much flak while being treated as a money fountain.

        There is a much more real world where Trump gets sick of Bibi and pulls his support than Harris pulling support from Israel. A fully isolationist U.S. is better for Palestine.
