But you’re SUPPORTING GENOCIDE when you vote for the candidate most likely to get the fewest people killed! While the people of Palestine are about to be annihilated, my own right to marry is about to be taken away, and all of my trans friends are going to lose access to the drugs that keep them from killing themselves, I can rest easy knowing that I didn’t engage with the system at all
Nope. Voting for the slightly less evil politician doesn’t mean you support genocide anymore than pulling the lever means you support innocent people being run over by trolleys.
Nope, voting for (supporting) a politician who commits genocide MEANS YOU SUPPORT GENOCIDE. You people stop voting for those politicians, and guess what, THEY DON’T GET INTO OFFICE, AND WE DON’T HAVE GENOCIDES.
And enough with the trolley problem. Reality’s not a fucking trolley problem. There are millions of individuals with an infinite array of choices in front of them. You frame anything in terms of two immoral choices and you can “justify” taking the least immoral of the two, but guess what, the fucking framing isn’t correct, because there’s allllllllllllll the different paths the trolley can go down, and allllllllllllll the other people also pulling levers, and the SUM of your choices is what determines the outcome, not your individual choice alone.
There were exactly two paths the trolley could go down as of November. You can pretend there weren’t, but the only option any individual had other than Harris or Trump was to assassinate one or both, and I’m not interested in getting iced by the SS
Unless you think there’s some magic number of comments you can make on the internet that will somehow convince enough voters to ditch the two main parties. Of course, you would have to be incredibly naive to believe in that magic number.
What did Hitler do? Spew rhetoric, tour around, and orchestrate/direct resources into genocide. That is precisely what the U.S. president and Congress have done. You may want to pretend the imaginary national line between Netanyahu and Biden somehow means Biden’s hands are clean, but he has funded, armed, rhetorically supported, militarily supported, and blocked nearly every ceasefire effort at the UN Security Council against the genocide. It is a U.S. genocide, and everyone following it is completely aware of that. Why is it that you think State Department officials are resigning, and Aaron Bushnell lit himself on fire? It would be far quicker to name the U.S. politicians who aren’t complicit in the genocide. Between Congress and the presidency, depending on how strict you want to be, that’s between 1 and maybe 30 (Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, etc.)
Not even addressing that historically you don’t even need to dispel that national boundary. Not even under George W. Bush. Yet alone the genocide of the Native Americans.
Start with Biden. Blinken. Linda Thomas Greenfield. Her Deputy ambassador…Robert Wood. Matthew Miller. Vedant Patel. Brian Mast. Lindsey Graham. Mitch McConnell. Chuck Schumer. John Fetterman. Marco Rubio. Elise Stefanik. Did you even read my message? Fucking all of them.
The fact that you respond like that is fucked. Bad faith commenter, missing soul, we’re done.
So instead of the most reasonable candidate that has a chance of winning, you voted for someone else who had no chance of winning?
Thanks for making everything worse.
Genocide trumps all other “issues”. If you are willing to sacrifice hundreds of thousands to millions of innocents to annihilation, your “stances” on every other issue are hollow rhetoric meant for your own advancement, and the difference of having you in power over anyone else is microscopic. Not understanding that genocide means a politician is pure evil is the fucking pinnacle of “dumb”.
If you think the death of people matters then why wasn’t the climate your big issue? That will definitely kill millions (predictions on current path are that it will kill or displace over a billion). Don’t get all high and mighty about your issue when it’s not even close to being the biggest one
I am willing to sacrifice hundreds of thousands to save millions. You’re willing to sacrifice millions to say you kept your hands clean. Don’t act like you’re the morally correct one.
I am not willing to sacrifice anyone. Were it not for people like you, no one would be sacrificed at all. You have no vision for a way out of perpetual war and subjugation, rather, you condemn the rest of us to it.

Yes, voting for politicians who commit genocide is supporting genocide. Let’s get that out of the way.
Nope. Voting for the slightly less evil politician doesn’t mean you support genocide anymore than pulling the lever means you support innocent people being run over by trolleys.

Name an American politician that has committed genocide.
Andrew Jackson.
Fair point!

bUt hITLeR!!!
So…. You can’t name one. Thanks for playing.
Start with Biden. Blinken. Linda Thomas Greenfield. Her Deputy ambassador…Robert Wood. Matthew Miller. Vedant Patel. Brian Mast. Lindsey Graham. Mitch McConnell. Chuck Schumer. John Fetterman. Marco Rubio. Elise Stefanik. Did you even read my message? Fucking all of them.
The fact that you respond like that is fucked. Bad faith commenter, missing soul, we’re done.
Try again.
And you’re done because you have nothing. Listen dude… You swung, you missed. You’re not exempt from being called out, or being made to own your shit.
Lol. OK. You asked, I answered, you talked a bunch of shit in response.
So…. You’re not… done?
For the record, NONE of them committed genocide. None of them have the authority to do so. And none of them were even brought on charges for doing so.
Complicit? Perhaps. But not a single one of the people you mentioned committed the act at all.
What you’re doing here is angrily spreading blatant misinformation.
Absolutely tremendous brain energy
I simply voted for the person opposed to genocide. This isn’t actually a democracy, so it’s not like my vote mattered anyways.
So instead of the most reasonable candidate that has a chance of winning, you voted for someone else who had no chance of winning?
Thanks for making everything worse.
Who’d you vote for?
I voted PSL. I’m in a state where it was completely inconsequential.
Excellent
Single issue voters = duuuuuuuumb.
People who say “voting doesn’t matter” = duuuuuuuuumb.

Were it not for people like me, Trump would still have been elected. Were it not for people like you, an alternative may have had a chance.
How compelling.
