    So basically your whole argument is “we can’t possibly stop the democrats from supporting a genocide, it’s as physically impossible as making a home run with a pool noodle”. If the American system is truly so fucked up, then you must agree with the following: Death to America as a country.

    Do you agree?

      We can’t possibly stop the Democratic candidate for president from supporting genocide before the election, no. Not with third party votes. Something else might happen to change her mind, but I doubt it. The money and the voters support her supporting Israel, so there will be no shift in international policy. After the election, when Harris does not have to win the popular vote, and she has the authority and time to present a nuance and coherent plan for peace, maybe then. Maybe not, but it’s worth trying because it’s the only path to end the violence.

      then you must agree with the following: Death to America as a country.

      Not even a little bit. Sorry to disappoint you there, but I believe in America, imperfect as she is. I believe America is the greatest force for freedom and equality in the world right now, the only superpower keeping the autocrats and fascists at bay. Death to bigotry and hatred, death to fascism and fanaticism, death to religious and nationalist extremism, death to violence as a means of change.

        Ok, I’m sorry, I can’t even keep a straight face at that. I hope you’ll reflect a bit. Have a good day, rofl

            “America, despite being on the brink of fascism and its political alternative still being genocidal, is the bulwark of freedom and equality. Never mind the history of subversion, coups, and literal war against democratically elected governments all over the world, and our support of monarchic, fascist, and literally genocidal regimes. Anyone who wants the US to stop doing these things is part of a counter-intelligence program”

            American exceptionalism is one HELL of a drug

              Says the person advocating for pushing it over the brink.

                I’m not advocating for pushing it over the brink (Trump), I’m advocating for conditioning the vote to an end to genocide (seems reasonable to me). If you think that doesn’t work, the logical desired consequence for me is the destruction of the state upholding genocide.
