Yeah, that makes it very hard to vote for them, I feel that. But that’s a problem that gets worse by not voting for a democrat.
Republicans have promised to genocide harder and trump has already been coordinating with netanyahu to counter anything that might reduce palestinans deaths.
I don’t like it either but it’s time to be an adult, do the unpleasant thing, and vote for a democrat.
We already have empirical evidence from Trump and Biden admins to show that exact same things happen under democrats in practice. The only difference is that libs go to sleep and start making excuses. If you’re voting for either party you’re voting for genocide plain and simple. At least have the honesty to say that you don’t care that your state is involved in a genocide because you think the party that will be presiding over it will benefit you personally.
If you honestly believed that democracts and republicans are identical on israel and you care about human suffering you’d look at all the other ways that trump and his fascists have promised to brutalize everyone who’s not them and minimize human suffering by voting for a democrat.
Trump killing trans people, immigrants and palestinans is not a moral victory for opponents of our genocide in gaza.
It’s more so that they can FEEL like they did the right thing. Not that they did the right thing.
It’s all about optics. If they vote for a Democrat and post a picture with their “I Voted” sticker, then they get internet points! Then they don’t have to be worried about getting canceled by their peers who they swear up and down don’t cancel people because that goes against their fake “live and let live” ideology.
Sure I voted for genocide, by I did it the way all of Hollywood did, so I’m cool and part of the club! It’s the acceptable form of genocide support!
I’m not in USA but if there are 2 movie style bad guys and 1 says pick me I’ll kill strangers, and 2 says pick me I’ll kill strangers and your friends and family, maybe you as well, and then some random 3rd guy says, pick me or no one and I won’t kill anyone, but one of those 2 bad guys will be picked for you via a coin flip, but at least you get to feel good that you didn’t personally pick the death of people, it’s not illogical to pick the first one.
Maybe you have such good morals you can pick the 3rd or refuse to pick at the expense of possibly additional people you care about, or maybe you don’t personally have anyone in your life that would be affected by the 2nd bad guy so it doesn’t matter to you, but if that’s the case, you’re equally guilty of choosing the choice that makes you feel good just because you don’t have to deal with the consequences of your choice and can ignore what’s actually happening.
What an insane take. If both sides are equal on one completely undefendable thing, then you vote based on other issues. One of the two parties are going to be in power at the end of this election cycle, regardless. Both are permitting genocide, and it’s a fucking problem, meanwhile only one of those parties are actively working to strip the people’s right to do something about that.
All this “both sides” bullshit feels disingenuous. If you were really concerned, you’d be focused on paths to solutions, rather than focusing strictly on trying to devalue Democratic votes. I certainly don’t see any path to stopping this genocide that starts with permitting a Trump presidency.

The fact that you don’t understand how utterly imbecilic this argument is means there’s no point having a discussion with you.

That’s right, liberals just want a genocide to be done with a certain level of decorum that allows them to ignore what’s actually happening.

The argument basically comes down to you being fine with genocide as long as it doesn’t affect you personally.
