Right now, the choices are between boring corporatists and 100% concentrated evil. It's not that hard a choice.
the boring corporatists are fully backing a genocide rn
not really seeing how that doesn't qualify as 100% concentrated evil
I think they're saying that the not-hard-choice is to abstain
Every single US president has backed Israel. Trump was the one that actually moved the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
"Every president has backed this genocidal state. Why try to stop the trend now?"
Backing genocide and not telling Israel to stop bombing, as even Republican presidents like Reagan have done, takes Biden from 'the lesser of two evils' to just evil. I won't support genocide.
I won't be shamed for not supporting genocide either. That's on the Democratic party and Biden.
Frankly I don't think there much boring about the genocide the corporatist is enabling.
If you avoid everyone who supports Israel in this fight you won't have anyone to vote for. I swear Israel is part of the national narrative on both sides and I don't understand why.
Volunteer and try to primary those old bastards out of office. The Squad is getting bigger every election.
Then I guess I'm not voting huh? I don't support colonizers, genociders, or the intersection of the two.
Yea I'm aware that's why I'm writing in hunter Biden.
After voting for people who explicitly said they dont care about my support only to be blamed for their failures I'm putting my foot down and not voting for anybody enabling a genocide.
Don't worry I live in upstate new york so unless I literally wad up my ballot and throw it at Biden so hard he dies my vote will have literally zero effect on the presidential race and I'm aware this is a very privellaged position to have.
I'm also voting straight working families party in local elections which usually get about 80 votes and the working families party candidate is the same as the dems.
Third Reich 100% glitchless speedrun (NO WARPS) vs a plate of room-temperature ketchup.
