Putting the word genocide in quotes like that seems dismissive of the plight of Palestinians.

Sure thing, bud. Whatever you need to tell yourself to justify voting for genocidal candidates. You’ll always have directly thrown your support to a genocide, and you’ll never be clean again.

Based on nothing, got it.

Like I said, impasse. I can’t keep you from drawing conclusions anymore than you can keep me from drawing conclusions about you and your support of genocide.

If both sides are dedicated to genocide, is it really both sides? Or is it really one side playing as two? You’ve allowed a political party to convince you that genocide is not only acceptable and supportable, but defendable as well. Where does that end, I wonder? What can’t they convince you to be in support of, mein kumpel?

I don’t need a coalition of anybody to tell me that even genocide lite is wrong, and should not be supported in any way.

I have only my opinion, and I’m not going to change yours any readily than you are to change mine, as we are opposed to this on a fundamental level. I do believe an impasse had been reached, as further discussion on this topic seems pointless.

Although I disagree with you, I respect your dedication, as misguided as it may seem to me.

Call me a bastard if you want, at least I’m not using strawmen and ad hominem to defend supporting a genocide.

This discussion keeps going in circles. I’m not voting for a politician that is pro genocide, lite or otherwise.

So is donating money so they can get food, water, and medical supplies not helping them now? I don’t understand. Morality is definitely the issue here. It begins and ends on the very personal decision of not wanting to vote for genocide. Any relation to what the Trump campaign is doing is coincidental. The only thing I’m obstinate about is not throwing my support behind genocidists.

He’s finishing the job anyway, both Harris and Trump will continue support to Israel.

This is about voting for genocidal candidates, and has nothing to do with private donations or contributions to the Palestinians. I can donate to the cause to help them with food, water, and medical supplies and not vote for genocide.

Genocide is going to happen regardless, the only option I see as viable is to not throw my support behind the parties pushing for it. Harris could come around, sure, but I’m not going to bet on it and I refuse to support it.

See my previous response.

Pretty sure we just had this conversation. Would you like me to copy and paste my previous response?

What are you basing that claim off of that isn’t pure conjecture?

I never claimed to be a tankie, so allegations against them hold no weight with me.

As voting is not required, I have not abrogated. I am doing something, I am using discretion to withhold support of genocidal candidates.

It is the reality we live in, and I’m not happy about it as much as the next guy. I refuse to give my support to any candidate who is saying they’ll support a genocidal regime. The rest is out of my control.

I don’t care what others believe, they’re voting to support genocide. The only control I have in this situation is to not actively support those commiting genocide. Everything else is out of my control.

So is every american voting for these candidates, I refuse to give them my support by choosing to actively support genocide.

By virtue of birthplace, we are all supporting it. The only control I have in this situation is to not actively support the people who are saying they will give support to a genocidal regime. Also saying “Don’t commit genocide or I won’t vote for you” really should not be the controversial take that it’s become.
