    And yet, this very article we’re commenting on is about war crimes getting worse.

    Almost like when your options are “bad” or “worse” you shouldn’t vote for “worse.”

      That sounds like some extortion. Not exactly something I would want to champion or believe to be a viable political platform

        That… is nothing the fuck like extortion.

        “Vote for me or I’ll release these pictures of you fucking your dog” is extortion.

        “Vote for me because my opponent will make this issue you claim to care about worse” is not.

          “Vote for me or my friend here will kill your dog” is the alleged scenario.

          Though really the person making that threat is also saying they will kill your dog.

        Life gives us hard choices. Whining that they don’t perfectly suit your pristine moral absolutism doesn’t change that.

          That reads like exactly how republicans describe democrats. Can you not see how far to the right you have strayed?

          Normalizing genocide is not a hard choice, it just confronted boilerplate Dem propaganda and any pretense of being a good person.

          If you are intetested in doing real political work it will not be something as minor as a single vote for 99% Hitler vs. 98% Hitler.

          Oh, I’m sorry genocide isn’t a big enough issue for you, I hope you get a new set of morals soon, yours seems damaged.

      Except it isn’t because the US has been continually supolying the arms Israel needs to carry out this genocide and these supposed “restrictions” are a fig leaf.

      Again, the Biden-Harris regime provides unconditional support to Israel and its genocide. Recycled clichés about lesser evils don’t apply.
