    We get it, you’re so rational for loving a pro-genocide candidate.

      “I can’t have zero genocide so I’ll vote for more genocide” is an equally stupid take.

          In a first past the post voting system, you don’t vote for anyone. You vote AGAINST the candidate you hate most. This also means that if you don’t vote for Biden it’s effectively a vote for Trump.

          This explains it better than I can. And it’s short.

            I didn’t say I wasn’t voting for biden. We’re all familiar with the system. There is a least bad choice, but there are no sane choices in an insane system and I take issue with the framing that only the enlightened liberal is sane for picking a pro-genocide candidate who also serves billionaires first and foremost, and who benefits from and wishes to continue this insane first past the post voting system.

              So you’re voting Biden because you see it as the rational option given irrational circumstances.

                No, I’m voting biden because he’s the least bad choice. He’s still a shitty choice and one I would only make in an insane system.

                  So you think that you’re doing something irrational?

                  To be honest, I’ve never met an irrational person who knew they were irrational. This is a new one for me. Usually people making irrational decisions don’t realize the flaws in their logic, and think they’re being rational.

                  So if you know you’re being irrational, where is the flaw in your logic? And why don’t you fix it?

                    There are no rational decisions in an irrational system.

              Sounds like, by your own logic, you love the pro-genocide candidate because you understand how FPTP works. Your original comment is doubly irrelevant now.

        Genocide is old news, huh? Genocide is still genocide and biden full-throatedly supports it.

          No he fucking doesn’t, there’s been about as much coming out of the whitehouse about humanitarian support and ceasefires recently as there has been talk of supporting Israel.

          Shit, he supports a two state solution, that’s pretty weird for someone who supposedly wants to genocide all Palestinians.

            There’s been a lot of talk coming out of the whitehouse, but talk is cheap. He has said he supports a two state solution while he hands over billions to israel in support of their ethnostate “solution”. Really strange that you think biden providing billions in weapons to israel to carry out this genocide is somehow balanced by a dinky pier that will provide insufficient aid at best (and starting weeks from now) until it is inevitably “accidentally” bombed by israel.
