It's a choice to not vote for genocide. You can tell yourself pretty lies, but if you vote for Biden you are a genocide supporter.
Purposefully withholding your vote in the general election is a selfish/narcissistic act. No matter what wordplay you engage, not giving support to the lesser of two evils leads to better outcomes for the greater of them -- and pain and suffering for the most vulnerable. But you get the comfort of hugging your pristine principles**
**and La Revolución is NOT happening in time to help in any meaningful way before uncountable death and suffering -- stop that BS and grow up
Voting for genocide makes you a genocide supporter. Deal with it.
No ceasefire, no votes.
Every time I hear this I have to do some math, play a word puzzle, or some other mental exercise to make sure I don't catch The Stupid. If casting a vote for Biden equals support for genocide, then anything anyone in a civilized society does could be said to be the same. Vote for anyone? The joke's on you, genocide supporter, you helped a different genocide supporter get elected. Do you go to work? You failed again; You're making someone else money so they can vote for a genocide supporter. Do you pay Taxes, you genocide ~~supporter~~funder?
Protest votes are for the primary; go ahead and vote for Gandhi McJesus then. The general is the team play. And if you don't vote for the lesser of two evils you're helping the larger evil get elected, you genocide supporter, it just lets you smugly deflect blame.
You can vote for people who don't support genocide! They exist.
We are all complicit in our own ways and we have a moral duty to rebel against our genocidal government. Good job, you just made an argument for revolution lol
Democrats would oppose genocide if Trump was president, which actually results in harm reduction. How do you square that circle?
