    Was this made to appeal to the people who are anti-genocide?

    If so, it’s a massive fail - you are basically admitting that Palestinian genocide is acceptable as long as you remain safe.

    And, of course… we already know that. We know what liberals are really all about.

      Nobody claimed it was alright, unfortunately the lesser of two evils also includes genocide

      Maybe if we can get a better voting system we can finally vote for the people we actually want

        And what if you can’t? Would you still pretend that it’s possible to vote fascism away?

      “More genocide is good, actually!” is about the take I expected from you.

        “More genocide is good, actually!”

        If you stopped gaslighting people you might actually get more people to vote Biden with you come November… but not insulting the audience’s intelligence is a bridge too far for liberalism, I guess.

          “Gaslighting is when you point out consequences of actions, and the more consequences you point out, the more gaslighting it is.”

          10/10, no notes.

            Liberal, I’m trying to help you.

            If you want people to participate in this rigged game, you have to give them a better reason than merely horsetrading one repression for another.

            Perhaps you haven’t realized the implications of the collapse of the Zionist propaganda machine, so I’ll spell it out for you - liberalism and any credibility it has contrived over the decades is done. Shot. Holed below the waterline. And that includes it’s pseudo-democratic pretensions.

            Come November, your “lesser evilism” schtick will probably hit rock-bottom - it’s an inevitablility no matter how long you stonewall. Forewarned is forearmed, right?

      Arguing against voting for Biden is a pro-genocide strategy because it increases the probability of more genocide. If your goal is to reduce or eliminate genocide as much as possible, and you are eligible to vote in a swing state during the 2024 US election, voting for Biden should be a part of your overall strategy. Nothing we can do can reasonably be expected to eliminate the possibility genocide. All that matters is what we do, the expected outcome of our actions, and the actual results. If your advocated action has no effect on your stated preferred world state or goal, you’re an idiot or a liar.

        Participating in US formal politics in any way whatsoever increases the probability of genocide - it always has, because there has never been a point in US history when it wasn’t genocidal.

        Your paltry attempt at minimizing this funadamental genocidal tendency is exactly that - paltry.

        Do you have anything else to offer?

          Can you explain, do you think not participating is going to help?
