    You’ve been voting the lesser evil for 80 years, does it feel like it’s bought you time?

    I’m not voting for genocide, in voting against it, hence why I’m not voting for Dems or Reps.

      Sounds like you’re voting hard in favor of worse genocide. Either that or basic logic isn’t your strong suit and you’re doing it unknowingly

        “worse genocide” do you people actually read what you type?

        Say that out loud to yourself. That you are voting for less genocide instead of no genocide, and then tell me you’re still the good guy.

          I can use logic to defend my view much unlike yourself. Accelerationists are the fucking worst 🤮

            Let me know when you start doing that, then. I’m sure the Palestinians appreciate that they’re the only ones to be genocide by your direct choices, I’m sure they’re happy you voted for “less genocide” instead of no genocide.

              Oh, stop. The best personal choice to actually help Palestinians is to vote for Harris.

              Outcomes are how you further ideals.

              And the “say everything possible to equate Democrats with Genocide” tactic is so worn out.

                Palestinians seem to think otherwise, at least the ones here. But I guess you wouldn’t be a white savior if you didn’t override their voice, like you do with pretty much anyone of color that doesn’t vote dem.

      You’ve been voting the lesser evil for 80 years, does it feel like it’s bought you time?

      Unequivocally yes. Imagine if the right wing clinched power in 1944 and never lost traction. You think civil rights would be better?

      I’m not voting for genocide, in voting against it, hence why I’m not voting for Dems or Reps.

      What’s that accomplished in the last 80 years?

        The right wing did clinch power in 1944, hence the dramatic stop to progressive legislation.

            The 1940s is the mid 1830s?

            Also the civil rights movement was not supported by government, and especially not the Dems.

              If we’re being pedantic, we can go bank to the Magna Carta, or Hammurabi as the beginning of civil rights. But you’re the one who set the 80 year mark, which coincides with the 20th century civil rights movement which was a distinct movement from the abolitionism of the 1830s.

              But you’re wrong either way. The 20th century civil rights movement was absolutely supported by Democrats, or was Lyndon Johnson not a Democrat when he signed the voting rights act?

              And the 19th century civil rights movement was championed by the pre-switch liberal Republican party. So yes, the liberal party has been supportive, if not integral, to civil rights. You’d have to be pretty poorly educated in US history to be ignorant of that fact.
