Your comment would carry a whole lot more weight if we didn't have this shitty FPTP system...but we do.
In this system, it's a vote for a shitty Democrat or a vote for authoritarianism.
That doesn't mean we shouldn't pressure biden to not support genocide ffs. How are you all so on board for sticking your fingers in your ears and pretending thousands of civilians aren't being slaughtered by weapons provided by our president? I'll probably still vote for him, but you can go fuck yourself if you're telling me I should stay silent about ethnic cleansing
Please quote where anyone in this conversation said not to pressure Biden about Gaza. The comment you replied to is talking about Project 2025.
Nobody is saying we should ignore it. You invented that strawman and you're perpetuating it with this comment.
Look at you, inventing imaginary positions that imaginary people in this thread hold so you can get mad at the imaginary people.
You know what op was saying, them not specifically mentioning Israeli genocide doesn't change that it's clearly a response to that, telling people to shut up and stop complaining. Pretending to be sly about it doesn't make it any less reprehensible
Your argument would be completely sound, if not for the fact that anyone who gives a shit about preventing genocide is trying to help Biden win the election. You, on the other hand, want to complain about genocide and use the awfulness of the genocide as an excuse to go ahead and make the genocide even worse. If you get Trump elected, he's going to go after the West Bank too.
Very cool and convenient how you ignore me saying we should vote for biden bc otherwise it doesn't fit your narrative of apathetic leftists not voting to own the libs. If you have nothing to say in good faith then fuck off, genocidal cunts like you are a waste of time to talk to
You hadn't said you wanted people to vote for biden yet when I left that comment. Look at the comment history, it hadn't happened yet in this subthread. Don't hide your intentions and then get mad when people misread them. Be honest about your position from the beginning. And don't start lying about other people in the same breath you actually start being honest about yourself.
What's your tone going to be if talk like this is what gets tRump the win and speeds up the genocide? Since he's the one calling for it and will do nothing to prevent it.
"What if opposing genocide gets trump elected" says a lot more about you and other liberals than it does about me
Why don't you answer the question then comrade?
Your comment says I all I need to know about you. Answer this one too, you a bot or a troll?
Still waiting for your answer. I'll go out on a limb and guess you won't answer, you'll come back with some whataboutism or some other insult further proving you're just a troll.
