I’m starting to feel like this genocide straw man is truly their strongest argument. Like, is that going to make me forget the other option wants to turn the country into a dictatorship?
You seriously want to bring up genocide to play a “lesser of two evils” game, when one evil is Trump? GTFO
First of all, it should not require 1D chess logic for you to have a red line at genocide. That should be enough for you to take pause and be absolutely certain that you know what you are talking about. If you’re dabbling in this, it should mean you just spent at least the last year reading extensively on genocide, history, Palestine, and political power and strategy. And yet you just use the usual , self-defeating, lesser evil talking point. That is how little concern you have for Palestinians facing genocide.
But let’s say you weren’t just pretending to care about strategy. Let’s say you are you ten years from now feeling, correctly, like you did something very wrong and this has led you to be curious about how to build power, so you begin to critically engage with the propaganda you have been sold your entire life. Pretty shameful that you didn’t so it when brown people faced genocide, but here we are.
Your logic is that you must always support your party candidate, who is allegedly some measurable amount better, even while doing a genocide, than the other with any chance of winning the election. You’re just minimizing harm, right?
Well no. What you are doing is taking what little leverage you have in your vote and saying, “I will never stand for anything, I will vote for you no matter what horrible things you do”. And your political class, the one in your faction, is glad for this. You have done what you were told, you have made yourself a suppirter that expects nothing, just a cog in their genocidal machine. Four years roll around and you are somehow surprised that your team has moved farther right, done the same kinds of things, or done them worse, or done more if the worst things. Maybe it turns on trans people, as it is doing in Texas by supporting a transphobic candidate. Or immigrants, which Dems already did. You wonder how we got here and then tell everyone “vote blue no matter who, the Republicans are worse!”
You are making several great points and I thank you for explaining them. I don’t even want to argue against any of them.
I just feel like I’ve seen the USA murder muslims for a decade in the first degree, and now people are getting worked up over a second degree, and consider electing a con artist to prevent it.
I’d rather have a reasonable person in office, that might respond to the public opinion, than someone who is purely focused on their own gain.
Do us a favor and say this verbatim to every Arab and Muslim American you meet. They need to know what liberals and Democratic voters think of them. The issue is clearly not just Biden or Harris being anti-Arab and pro-genocide but an entire party and its base.
Why just have genocide when you can have a facial theocracy and genocide? If this is your single issue then you are truly privileged. Peace in the Middle East or all these LGBTQ folks, immigrants, and woman can get fucked. Not to mention anyone living in a blue state who may experience a natural disaster or anyone against regulatory capture by the private sector.
They better solve a decades long conflict with a foreign leader who is closely aligned with the Republican Party or else! Give me a break
Reagan in 1982 did it with a 20-minute phone call to Begin. Biden is choosing to continue the genocide and widen the conflict. Biden could have stopped sending the weapons or could have not vetoed the UN ceasefire twice. It is odd that a year later you still deny Biden’s complicity and that it is in effect Biden’s genocide.
Skirted the rest of the argument pretty well there. Should the rest of the issues be tabled because of your oversimplified view of the regional conflict?
Notice you also didn’t say anything about those LGBTQ folks, immigrants, and women living in the Red States who Harris/DNC say just need to obey the states laws. That’s their entire plan to help out minorities in the USA.
Source? Either you are paid to be posting this or have your head pretty far up your ass. Biden has been expanding protections for many different groups, including gender identity, some of which have been struck down by the courts but I’m sure you can guess which side those judges are on. No democrat has pushed for abortion bans and given a majority in congress why would you think they wouldn’t pass national protections? Immigrants are no longer being separated from children and we are back in line with international asylum laws, which can be improved upon but Trump killed those just for the election. Republicans are literally suing to stop an expedited nationalization process for immigrants with American spouses.
RT needs to be paying you less or you need to find better new sources.

You live in a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie.
The extermination of a people is vastly more important than which flavor of fascist is the nominal figurehead of the U$.
You support genocide. You are no different from the Nazis.
