    Voting for a genocidal party with a history of invading countries full of people that look like you because they decided to not be slaves to multicolor capitalists is not better, in any way, than voting for a genocidal party with a history of invading countries like you because they decided to not be slaves to white capitalists except they might also target you openly.

      Only if you’re a single issue voter, which is dumb. If they’re equally bad on that one issue, but one is objectively better than the other on most other issues, it is in fact objectively better to vote for the one who is better on the other issues. One of the two will win, damage control is the rational choice.

        The issue is genocide.

        The rational choice would be throwing out every politician supporting genocide since genocide never limits its victims. If you vote for genocide you will always eventually become the victim if you do not physically start fighting your government.

          Why didn’t you throw out every politician supporting genocide then? Perhaps because that’s not in your power to do as an individual?

              What exactly did that accomplish? Now we have a politician that supports genocide AND Russia’s invasion of Ukraine AND stripping rights away from everyone who isn’t a rich, white, cishet male. “Doing your part” made things objectively worse domestically, and will probably make the genocide worse too since he’s BFFs with Netanyahu.

              With friends like you who needs enemies?

                Reread your last sentence back to yourself. If you can’t figure out why people didn’t support your racist right wing genocidier, then irony truly is dead.

                  I don’t support either major party, but I oppose one more than the other. There’s a difference between support and damage control. I’m not so callous that I’ll allow suffering to increase so I can feel like my hands are squeaky clean. Next time you get a bright idea about how to “help”, ask an adult first.

                    We’ve been doing “damage control” for longer than anyone you have ever met has been alive.

                    It ended in genocide. Maybe, ‘adult’, you should not repeatedly do the exact same fucking thing for more than a Century and hope for something different.

                    Actual adults can see a sunk cost fallacy. Wealth inequality is higher than it’s ever been. We’re comitting genocide. We have more slaves now than before the 13th was passed.

                    Yeah, it’s great that statistically 20 years after the rest of the world for each human rights milestone we caught up… Except for the fact pretty much none of those rights are in law, or in the constitution, so they can be taken away if we get too uppity.

                    Great damage control, genocidal technofeudalism.

              Lol. Even for anti-electoralists the point is to do something more impactful than voting. This is just an excuse to be lazy.
