Look, I can tell you’re one of those people for whom words short-circuit your brain. Once you hear a certain word, you stop thinking and just start emoting. Genocide. Pedophile. Guns. It prevents you from thinking about the how and the why because you’re blinded by anger.
Depopulation and mass killing are both genocide, but one is worse than the other. Attempting a genocide over 30 years is not as bad as attempting a genocide over 3 months, because we are more likely to stop the former.
It’s incredibly stupid to think there are only two sides in this.
There literally are only two sides, that’s how our voting system works.
We as individuals are more than our political system. Well, you certainly aren’t, but other people are. israel are doing this genocide as fast as they can and biden is pledging billions in support of them as they do it. Do you think trump would pledge more billions? Do you think he’d pledge US troops to join in? You’re dealing in hypotheticals and trying to shut down any criticism of the current president who has the power to stop this. How about we don’t have genocide, or is idea too mind-blowing for your supposedly not-short-circuited brain to understand?
Following your logic, the civil rights act should’ve never been passed since it cost democrats votes from racists.
That’s not really an option. The most Biden could do is make it a little less genocidey, until Trump wins and then it gets a whole lot more genocidey.
the civil rights act should’ve never been passed since it cost democrats votes from racists.
Democrats won the undying fealty of the single most reliable voter bloc: Black women. Black women vote every time, even when forced to vote for the lesser of two evils. Black women always vote Democrat. They will trudge through snow or hurricanes to vote Democrat. Can you say as much for the far left? Realistically, if Biden cut off aid to Israel tomorrow, there’s a decent chance you’d find something else he did that you didn’t like that you’d use as an excuse to not vote.
More importantly, the Civil Rights Act was popular enough that it couldn’t get undone by future administrations. Anything Biden does to help Palestine or thwart Israel will be immediately undone next year when Trump takes over.
Not to mention the very real possibility of the end of our democracy. I know we’re talking about Israel here so I won’t dwell on it, but it’s worth keeping in mind even in terms of helping Palestine long term. Can’t help Palestine if we’ve become a Christian theocracy. Hell, we’d probably have troops there ourselves participating in the massacre.
The possibility of the end of our democracy is precisely because of the many times we’ve gone along with “this is just how things are” and democrats insisting that we have to work with republicans while republicans kept getting worse and worse, moving the overton window to the right. Democrats need to put their foot down and pull back the overton window to the left, that is how we can make some real changes. Democrats doing this would show people that there is a party that will actually fight for them, a party worth going through the trouble of voting for. I thought this was the lesson that would be learned from 2016 when democrats pushed through a “safe” “centrist” candidate and lost, but instead they’ve doubled down.
israel doesn’t need to have bipartisan support. Yes, aipac has a lot of power, but it’s because of this undying support for israel which creates this feedback loop. Doing the right thing is worth it in the long run.
When democrats win, nothing gets better either. Our political systems are shown to obviously cater to corporations instead of the will of the people. It’s time to stop voting for the lesser of two evils bullshit and rise the fuck up.
I could find HUNDREDS of other examples, but I won’t, because you won’t listen, because you’re a troll with an agenda. Fuck you and the elephant you rode in on.
Well technically, Biden is pushing back somewhat on Israel, so it’s a less bad genocide with Biden.
But in terms of whether there will be genocide? No, your vote doesn’t matter. At least in the short run.
I do think this has the possibility of pushing the Democratic party away from Israel in the future. Even staunch Zionists are starting to feel a little uneasy with the scale of the massacre.
Harder, faster, more brutal, less consequences.

Yes, I’m sure a Republican win will definitely help pull things left. What the hell, dude.
Do you think republicans got this bad while winning every single election?
Every single time they win, things get worse. Remember what happened in 2016 when people decided to not vote, so they could send a message to the DNC?
When democrats win, nothing gets better either. Our political systems are shown to obviously cater to corporations instead of the will of the people. It’s time to stop voting for the lesser of two evils bullshit and rise the fuck up.
Bullshit lies and republican propaganda. Fuck off with your “both sides”. Give Democrats power, and they make people’s lives better.
When democrats had a supermajority for just a few months, they passed legislation that saved 20,000 lives and improved countless others.
I could find HUNDREDS of other examples, but I won’t, because you won’t listen, because you’re a troll with an agenda. Fuck you and the elephant you rode in on.
So you’re saying in terms of genocide your vote has no impact whatsoever?
Well technically, Biden is pushing back somewhat on Israel, so it’s a less bad genocide with Biden.
But in terms of whether there will be genocide? No, your vote doesn’t matter. At least in the short run.
I do think this has the possibility of pushing the Democratic party away from Israel in the future. Even staunch Zionists are starting to feel a little uneasy with the scale of the massacre.
Sounds like it’s time to start fresh.
Also not on the table. It’s either Trump or Biden.
Good luck with that.
Thanks. We need it.
