      Well that seems misguided. If both candidates will let the genocide happen, but one will also fuck everything else up, it seems like an easy choice.

        Wrong. Both candidates will do genocide. They aren’t just letting it happen. This is active participation.

        The main difference is the one that will fuck everything else up will fuck up the genocide too, because he’s horrible for the US’s international relationships. It’d be a lot easier for the ICC and ICJ to do their jobs if the US alienated all of Israel’s other support.

        Even better, blue-no-matter-who’s would join the campus occupation instead of siding with the cops cracking down on them.

          I’m voting blue no matter who when the opponent is a Republican every damn time. I also don’t support the police actions against protesters, am against the US’s ongoing support for Israel, and want the genocide to stop. I’m still voting for Biden and every Democrat up and down my ballot in November. I’ve got another chance to vote for more progressive candidates when the next primary happens, but until then I’ve got a ton of progressive candidates in local races on my ballot this November and Biden being in the White House is better in literally every way than Trump being there.

            You are the reason Biden is ignoring the uncommitted movement. He knows he can rely on blue-no-matter-who voters and he doesn’t need to listen to voters. You undermine every attempt to push Biden on every issue. This is all your fault.

              This is all your fault.

              And if Trump is elected, it will be your fault. Then you can have even more indiscriminate murdering of Palestinian civilians, plus the gutting of our entire federal government, the end of federal protections for workers, the environment, and protected classes, and a couple more Christian Nationalist Supreme Court justices to further erode your rights.

              This election is not like 2012, 2008, 2004, or 2000, when protest votes mattered and happened but both major party candidates respected the rule of law. Hell, I voted for Ralph Nader. This is not the same my friend. Donald Trump must be kept out of office.

                There might not even be any Palestinians alive in Gaza by the election if Biden doesn’t stop this genocide, and if he doesn’t stop it is your fault. You are undoing the work of all those campus occupiers that are being beaten and arrested. If you don’t force Biden to stop there won’t be anyone left for Trump to kill.

                And when I say it’s your fault I mean that literally. You are directly responsible by directly supporting genocide.

                I’m not supporting Trump, except by your tortured logic of “everyone who isn’t with us is with the enemy” bullshit.

                and a couple more Christian Nationalist Supreme Court justices to further erode your rights.

                There’s already a 7-3 majority, we’re fucked until Democrats expand the Court and Biden won’t do that either so whatever. I’ll vote Dem down ticket to hinder Trump if he wins, but I will not vote for genocide and you can only blame Biden for forcing me.

                Out of curiosity, did Aaron Bushnell vote for Trump by self-immolating?

                  The lack of coherence between these two statements is stunning

                    You’re voting for genocide, it’s not a metaphor or abstraction in your case. You are directly voting for genocide.

                    Deal with it.
