    What if the buttons were (and kinda are) “Palestinian genocide with survivors” or “Palestinian and Ukrainian genocide with no survivors”?

      If your willing to accept a little genocide in exchange for not having to convince anyone of anything, sure

      Wait actually is this you convincing no-genocide voters that a little genocide is fine? Woa that was slick!

        Oh yeah *just *convince the Democrats. Sure thing, I’ll have it done by Tuesday. Honestly I feel stupid for not thinking of just convincing them. Why has no one tried this before? /S

          Good luck convincing enough people that a little genocide is fine to win against trump.

            Thanks. I really need it, since when Trump wins he’s going to expand the current genocide, then start a new one that will target me.

              Believe me, I’m not rooting for it (or don’t, Idgaf).

              Democrats are more principled than Trump voters though, if one party can survive running on it it’s not the democrats.

                For someone who’s not rooting for it, you seem to be putting a lot of effort into stopping people from voting against Trump.

                  I don’t want to stop anyone voting against Trump, I just think centrists are expecting an awful lot from a constituency that historically underperformed when enthusiasm is low (spoiler: it’s never been this low)

        What is a ‘little genocide’? I thought your whole shtick was that genocide was genocide and ‘less’ is still genocide.

        Are you conceding that there are degrees and less is better than more?

          Are you conceding that there’s a choice between convincing people genocide is ok vs convincing democrats it’s not, and you’d prefer the former?

            Voting is the only binary choice. You can do whatever other ‘choices’ you’re babbling about at the same time if you want.

              That’s not a terrible idea actually, work it from both ends.

              Unless you care about the substance of the issue, but if not then go nuts.

                The substance of the issue for me is saving Palestinian lives which is one of the many reasons I’m voting for Biden in 2024.

                    I for one am doing more than that AND voting. Turns out voting has never impeded me from participating in other forms of activism, isn’t that magical?

                    I’m chatting online with a stranger about it though- so we’re both putting in about the same amount of work on the issue ;)
