If you are voting for genocide with "lesser evil" logic then you have already lost any voice worth having.
There is a reason these cowards can't even describe the basic facts with explicit terms. They know what it means to say, "vote for a gemocider" so they hem and has and play with euphemisms.
But you don't need to be convinced by these shills. You can do better than support genocide.
Can't vote Democrat because support of Israel. That means you also can't support Republicans, because they support the full extent of the genocide even more with Trump telling Israel to finish the job. And that means you can't support (most) 3rd party candidates, because the Green Party is primarily funded by Republican donors, and the candidates themselves have investments that go against everything the Green Party is supposed to stand for.
Where does that leave us? You say it's hemming and hawing with euphemisms. Right now, all candidates lead down the same foreign affairs path. Not all candidates lead down the same road on policies regarding education, corporate regulations, federal health regulations. All things that were decimated under Trump's presidency. Not to mention, the sheer amount of hate crime that conservatives feel more comfortable doing with Republican presidents in office, leading to people of color and queer politicians stepping down from fear of their livelihood.
But I guess Trump saying he wants to deport protestors and moving the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem, on top of everything else his administration did to the U.S. is completely reasonable.
Nevermind that. He said he wanted to call out the military on anyone who didn't vote for him on live television. Why isn't the NYT reporting on that?
Oh, it's just Trump!
At this point, I'm fairly convinced that the people trying to argue that we shouldn't support Democrats because of a single issue, no matter how important that issue, are Russian assets.
What's the single issue? Why can't you describe it?
You admit your complicity in genocide by these behaviors. You know it is shameful.
Your trolling is tiresome. I'm done pretending you're discussing anything with any integrity.
