I know nothing should surprise me with these fucking people at this point, but my mouth still dropped open when I read that.

    In seeking to protest a genocide, they have invited the start of a second genocide on our fellow citizens, as well as accelerated the original genocide they were protesting. These effects could’ve been seen from a million miles away.

    You assume that the “second genocide” would not have happened under a Democratic leadership. Biden and Kamala gave Netanyahu free rein over Palestine. They placed red lines only to appease their base, and simply disregarded these lines when the Isreaeli government trampled over them. They smeared the protestors. They condemned the international courts, and they were cheering the genocidal maniac when he appeared before congress.

    So no, I would never vote for this party. You might see DNC as the lesser of two evils. I just see it as plain evil, and I can’t in good faith ever vote for them. As I mentioned before, they only used the rights of minorities as smokescreen, to avoid introducing any meaningful changes.

      …yeah afaik there’s pretty good evidence that trans folks wouldn’t be culturally eliminated under the Biden administration. Do you disagree with that assumption?

      And you’ve misunderstood me. I don’t care that you voted third party. As I mentioned, in some contexts that could be viewed as admirable. I’m not trying to convince you to vote Democrat.

      Just don’t puff out your chest about having clean hands when, given the single most pronounced choice we have in determining government for the next cycle, you prioritized trying to maintain a clean conscience over keeping Trump out of the white house.
