I think we can all agree that genocide is bad, right? And we can all agree that is happening in Palestine is genocide, correct? And therefore we would like to elect someone who would be more likely to stop the genocide.
The Democrats don't seem to want to stop... But neither do the republicans. I don't see the argument.
To my understanding, neither party has any plans to stop the genocide so what the point of contention? I understand that simply voting will do nothing to fix anything, but picking the lesser evil (which is still evil) will buy us more time. Point is, voting for Trump wouldn't be any better, nor voting for a 3rd party due to the flaws of the First Past The Post voting system.
If one should not vote for the Democrats, then who should we vote for? Trump? Seriously, what's your plan?
I don't know what to think about people claiming to be LGBT+ allies who would even remotely entertain not voting Harris.. as the risk to the people they say they want to protect is domestic as well. This is a palestinians lose or everyone lose waaaayyyyy worse kinda deal .. so yeah.. apparently ideals don't matter that much.
I'm literally queer both in terms of sexuality and gender 💀💀 and am against genocide precisely bc of my principles (though I don't live in the US)
bc choosing to support the "lesser of two evils" since they won't target you domestically is lacking any and all backbone. "The dems can have a little genocide, as a treat. After all, they protect minorities in the 'civilised west' and that is the only place that counts"
(not putting words in your mouth, just that this is what the position essentially boils down to)
Stick your strawman. Brown people dying is not a precondition.. I did not imply that at all. It's that more people will suffer and die if trump is not defeated. It's like saying Hitlers opponent was also bad.. yeah maybe.. but he's not advocating fascism.
No one is saying how dare you vote for trump to people voicing concerns. People are saying that to individuals willingly not voting, voting for trump in “protest,” or voting third party in “protest”
There's no protest, though. Third parties are the only logical option for anyone with any amount of humanity left in them. Only fascists would vote for genocide, only selfish fascists would vote for genocide on the thought that if they don't they'll get genocided as punishment.
Sure broski, vote third party, help trump. Other elections I don’t care, but this one has a literal nazi running and a lady who is criticized for not doing enough to stop Israel. So naturally help the nazi
