So it looks like Trump has read the fascist playbook or something. I’m not surprised. I am concerned.

Edit: After thinking about it, I guess I am surprised that he can read.

decisions that probably make your life 2% worse

You know, unless you’re someone in Gaza whose life Biden’s military aid package to Israel will end, but hey, they’re just brown people!

Voting blue instead of abstaining or voting 3rd party? Sure, but let’s not downplay how bad the Blue Team is. By voting for them, we are being complicit in the crimes of the Democrats in order to stave off worse crimes, but are still complicit in the murder and genocide nonetheless.

Do you honestly think the Republicans wouldn’t support Israel?

And a vote for 3rd parties is a vote for Republicans.

And Israel would be attacking Palestine even without US support, given Hamas is still going to be attacking them.

What in my comment gave you that impression? Do you think that just because both parties would do it absolves you from being complicit in it?

And a vote for 3rd parties is a vote for Republicans.

So is a vote for Democrats, since they’re doing nothing to actually stop Republicans. The 2 party system is built so that control switches between the 2 parties. One party will never hold it indefinitely.

And Israel would be attacking Palestine even without US support

So your argument is that we may as well just go along with the genocide since it will happen with or without us?

This is peak Centrism. “I don’t agree with the genocide, but I’ll go along with it since I’ve got nothing better to do.”

Not everyone agrees it’s a genocide.

If Israel wanted they have the weapons and ability to raze Gaza to the ground and kill everyone in it in a matter of weeks. But they haven’t done that.
