      There wasn’t one, and ain’t that a bitch? Isn’t that suspicious? Isn’t that a problem?

      The answer is that (I know this might seem totally insane to you) the people with power are not the voters. The people with power decide if we get fascism at home or genocide abroad. And they’re the ones to blame when we do. They have agency and culpability.

      I’m sick of this ridiculous ethical Rube Goldberg machine, which none of you can explain, that blames me for that.

      I don’t blame you for picking the lesser of two evils…what do I care? Just shut the hell up and stop punching left.

          Because the democrats might just want to win enough to stop arming a genocide. If we…I don’t know…anti genocide holdouts or whatever…don’t vote, then we can give the democrats something they want. If we vote blue no matter who, why would the democrats change?

          The people with power are also in a struggle with each other, democrats and republicans are one of the main embodiments of that struggle. The democrats might decide that they’re willing to deign to stop arming a genocide if it helps them beat the republicans.

            it’s interesting how, according to you, democrats are satan who want nothing more than to kill palestinians

            while trump is enabling the killing of palestinians and now iranians. what was the quote? “end your civilization” or something? please correct me on the quote, and also the exact wording of our new fascist leader’s opinion of palestinians

            “it’s all the democrats’ fault”

            LOL no.
