Yes their both fascists of a decaying empire but you need to vote for the lesser fascist.

The OP is one of the semi-weekly Have you considered how bad Gaza will be under Trump? posts on lemmy.world. Obviously these people dont give a shit about Palestinians or else they’d have different priorities. So there’s no point actually trying to debate them because they aren’t being honest. Its just wild to see how far they will bend to the left’s framing and rhetoric while offering them absolutely nothing.

I bet I can get one to say “Please vote for the turd currently sponsoring a white-supremacist settler-colonial apartheid state’s genocide of the indegenious population, or else the other turd will sponsor it more.” if I said it would make me vote for Biden and I was in a swing state. They’re so fucking desperate. My man, that shit ain’t gonna work. The jpeg of a hundred mediocre things Biden’s done because you couldn’t point to any one good thing was working more than this.

PS: Of course they said yes to the bottom question.

“You have to vote for the real existing genocide because i’m afraid of the imaginary theoretical genocide in my head”

They went from " vote for the lesser evil" to “vote for the lesser genocide” with so little effort.

It’s so stupid, idk what to make of it. I assume most of it is bad faith, they only care about foreigners in the abstract if at all, while they believe trump will cause them real harm and they do care about themselves.

They care about Palestinians the same way chuds care about the integrity of women’s sports records.

Only when it can be used as a cudgel against people they hate.

They refuse to consider how Democrats will reflexively become anti-Trump as soon as he is in office, which could collapse the bipartisan genocide consensus.

Never underestimate how strong the bipartisan genocide consensus is

Fair. I’m just thinking that Trump derangement is pretty strong too.

Trump derangement is based on aesthetics. The genocide consensus is structural to American imperialism

The keffiyeh is going to be so hip in 2025. All my new fake friends will be wearing it.

Excited for a brand new emoji, but with a keffiyeh instead of a kente cloth. I think it’ll be chuck Schumer in the lead this time too for some reason.

Yup if Trump was president every elected dem would have “from the river to the sea” in their Twitter bio.

But it’s a dem president so instead that’s a terrorist slogan.

I want this point to be made to every lib who acts surprised when conditions inevitably collapse and fascists dole out pogroms.

So what you’re telling me is that my only choice is what flavor of fascism we descend into? Wow, I sure do love harm reduction.

Boy that sure seems like an argument that democracy is a failed system if your only choice is what kind of fascism you elect.
