    Meanwhile you want people to just shit up and support genocide.

    Oh, is that what I want? I guess calling the Israeli genocide a genocide and advocating for the total removal of US aid from Israel is support of genocide.

    Or is it because I don’t regard Trump as winning as a reasonable alternative to Biden that makes me a genocide supporter?

      No one is saying trump winning is preferable. They are saying it is inevitable if Biden continues down this path.

        I can find you people saying exactly that while claiming to be left-wing.

        They are saying it is inevitable if Biden continues down this path.

        Their proposal for course-correction is “If Biden takes up a position that is currently unpopular with the vast majority of Americans, including a majority of Democrats, his numbers will improve”

        That’s not very compelling.

          It is this fucking simple.

          You have never trumpers, that’s you, your vote is locked and Biden could dick down a toddler on live tv and you wouldn’t care. We can safely disregard these people, they are the Biden equivalent of magats.

          So you can either try to get the people who support genocide on your side, or the people trying to stop it.

          Either way, we get what we deserve because of the votes.

            And apparently, your argument is that you should and must support never having a say in your government again because Biden is evil. Not that it will prevent an evil man from getting into the presidency; no, but you HAVE to punish Biden, no matter what rights you lose everyone else in the process!

              I don’t have to punish anyone.

              You aren’t asking me to punish someone, you are asking me to support someone:

                I’m asking you to support not being under a fascist regime. I’m asking you to support being able to fight for the next four years without having to take up arms. I didn’t realize “Please do this so we DON’T have to deal with the prospect of waging war in our own country if we want any sort of change away from a fascist regime” was going to be such a hard-fucking-sell to someone who opposes war.

                  You are asking me to support someone I disagree with on a fundamental level.

                  I won’t support either person who wants that. You guys can fight over which genocidal maniac runs the country.

                  I will keep working on supporting people from the bottom up who disagree with sending bombs to kill toddlers.

                    Yeah, welcome to not being part of the majority in a democratic polity. It sucks.

                    You guys can fight over which genocidal maniac runs the country.

                    Okay, by not taking a side, you take the side of the victor. If the victor is the genocidal maniac who, instead of expressing hesitance about Israel’s genocide, has expressed an eagerness for Israel’s genocide to intensify, and to start NUMEROUS genocides here at home, against both racial minorities and GSM, you can rejoice in knowing that you contributed in your own way to his expanded genocide, both in Israel/Palestine and in the US. Not to mention all the other countries he’ll ‘inspire’. I’m sure Ukraine will be thrilled to have even more of their children kidnapped and tortured, or a suffering a few hundred more Buchas.

                    I will keep working on supporting people from the bottom up who disagree with sending bombs to kill toddlers.

                    Great, and the guy who’s going to make it harder for you to support people ‘from the bottom up’ instead of the ‘guy who doesn’t care what happens as long as things keep chugging’? It’s cool if he’s in place? You don’t mind a stint in the pen for being a filthy lib, or getting sent to the camps with the rest of us?
