Yep, I’ve seen them, and out of the 2 candidates chosen by those in power, one certainly does better than the other in regards to Gaza. Biden is a shit candidate, and I hate him, but at least I’m not a Russian rent boy.

Backing genocide isn’t better.

There is no harm-reduction past a certain point, there is just throwing vulnerable people under the bus to save yourself.

I honestly have no idea what the logic is supposed to be here?

Are we supposed to be so virtuous that we allow Republicans to kill all of us just so we die with the Palestinians that no matter who we elect will die!? It makes absolutely no sense.

We can talk in 2028 when we actually have a say again in who is running, but as it stands now we’re stuck with who is up there now.

No, we’re not.

The convention hasn’t happened yet.

Finally, the logic is simple. Biden is a genocidal fascist. If you’re afraid that we will live in a fascist state if Trump is elected, then my answer is we already do.

If Trump is elected and goes full fascist, what do you plan on doing? Whatever it is, you should already be doing it.

Are we supposed to be so virtuous that we allow Republicans to kill all of us just so we die with the Palestinians that no matter who we elect will die!? It makes absolutely no sense.

Resisting fascism and genocide isn’t about virtue. It’s about survival. You’ve been conned into believing that if you just vote for the lesser genocidal fascist, then you or whatever oppressed group you identify with will be fine. You will not.

This well known poem

First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me

is about you.

Translation: “I’ve already acquiesced to the idea that one way or the other, the flag I eagerly uplift is going to literally inflict genocide upon a sovereign nation for natural gas resources and the allowance of an illegitimate, blatantly-supremacist nationstate to build itself atop those sovereign bodies the exact same way Amerika did to the natives, and I see nothing wrong with that so long as my comfort is preserved”

You and everyone like you fucking disgust me. Death to the settler empire, worse to those who uplift it.

You think this is worse than being a genocidal fascist. Says everything.

Genocide-collaborator liberals and unaddressed homophobia, name a more iconic combo
