This isn't prison reform.
It's a fucking genocide. That's not something you just hand waive.
Says the person that wasn’t even aware of any of it before last October. Don’t bother denying it. Your comment history didn’t mention shit about it until well after.
Also, I’ve seen first-hand how it has been explained to you time-and-again, how this works politically. How congress is pushing this. How it would be happening with or without the US. How Biden doesn’t call the shots there.
Yet you STILL- even with all of this explained to you, find a way to turn this into a push to stop people from voting.
I can call you what I truly believe you are here, but it’s hopefully implied within the facts of what you’re doing.
Oh that's right, you think Lemmy is the entire world and we've all been here for decades. But neither thing is true. And this is just a deflection from the fucking genocide. A version of no true Scotsman.
Riiiiight. I’ll tell you what. You go ahead and keep your vote. Lock it away safe so no boogeyman can take it from you…
And when November’s results come in, and you see that your withholding it did absolutely nothing at all to help anyone in Palestine, you go ahead and take a bow. Be proud that you stood tall and proudly- for absolutely nothing and quite possibly hurt a fuckton of people with your selfishness. Because you’re getting genocide whether you vote or not. And you’re getting genocide regardless of who you vote for. Because guess what, and pay attention this time-
• BIDEN DOESN’T CALL THE SHOTS IN ISRAEL.
• GENOCIDE WILL HAPPEN WITHOUT ANY SUPORT FROM THE US.
• CONGRESS HAS MORE TO DO WITH IT THAN BIDEN DOES.
You need to take this shit seriously. This isn’t a fucking joke. There are people in America that are going to suffer. And either you know this already and don’t care, or you simply don’t believe the hundreds of people that have been telling you this for MONTHS.
This isn’t something to take a stand on man. Democracy is at stake. And I don’t think you understand how bad it will be.
Biden controls the flow. He can declare Israel in violation of the Leahy Law and FSA right now. The fact that he held back the 2,000 lb bombs shows he knows this and has this power.
And people in America are already suffering. Everything you're afraid of (that Trump can reasonably accomplish) is already happening. The Democrats aren't stopping it.
ROFL… so may as well get Trump elected, right? That’s why you’re here, isn’t it?
As much as you accuse me of it, not really no.
