I used to wonder if there was any line that people wouldn’t cross with lesser-evilism, but now that I’ve seen all these takes just openly being like, “Yes, we’re doing genocide, and if you break ranks over that, not only are you a bad person, but your behavior is only possibly explainable by you being a foreign agent or a conservative in disguise,” and honestly it’s pretty validating to know that yes, I was right all along that accepting that line of reasoning would lead to complete insanity with no limit on how extreme it could get. Like I’ve never voted for a major party presidential candidate because of that sort of thing but even I never expected the discourse to reach this level, and now that I’ve seen it play out I’m very glad I decided to distance myself from it. This is what zero principles does to a mfer.
It’s really hard to see. Hearing that it doesn’t matter that Biden supports Israel’s genocide in Palestine because Trump would too is a bad take. It mattered to the thousands of people that have died. It matters to their families. It matters to their friends. So many of Biden’s bad policies are just unforced errors. He doesn’t have to be an unappealing candidate. He chooses to be an unappealing candidate. If he loses to Trump, that will be why. It’ll be 2016 all over again. The genocide in Palestine is Biden’s equivalent of just not setting foot in Michigan. And they’ll blame voters, primarily independents and leftists (they already are), just like Hillary did, but ever think about what they could have done differently or better.
