There`s just no winning on this matter. Genocide Joe or dictator fascist Trump with even more genocide

Why do people keep framing it like it's either genocide or fascism? Do people just give Trump a free pass because he's upfront about letting Isreal go scorched earth on Gaza? It's genocide or genocide and fascism. It doesn't matter who you vote for, America is going to support genocide either way. What you're voting for is either democratic leader supporting genocide or a fascist leader supporting genocide.

It doesn't matter who you vote for, America is going to support genocide either way.

That is the express goal of the Zionist lobby.

Normally they'd spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to influence the policies of both major American political parties.

This year they're spending millions on primary races. On individual races.

So another way of looking at these protests is bleeding Israeli money: raising the overall cost for influencing American politics. The less tacit approval there is for a genocide, the harder it is for Israel to buy our candidates and elected officials.

Not exactly a fool's errand, simply put.

Because that's what it fucking is, but it's not either or, it's genocide or genocide AND

the people here obsessing over that binary are forgetting that political campaigns OBSESS over turnout numbers, and right now it looks BLEAK for Biden

Instead of yelling at their representatives (and making it widely known that this will tank him) they're too busy congratulating themselves for settling on their own willingness to choose one from possibly the two LEAST POPULAR presidential candidates in living memory

"Grab a fucking bucket" lmao, the bucket they're describing is the size of a thimble and most people they're talking to fucking resent the party demanding they bail water with it.

Good fucking luck man lol

Probably because the Nazis where famous for commiting genocide. Fascism is an ideology of genocide. You don't need to spell it out but it's ok that you did.

Not what I meant idd. Genocide whoever wins the next elections

Very well said.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago

No, you forgot something.
It's either supporting genocide or supporting genocide + fascism.

Upheaval is it then.

Third party over and over again to let the Democrats know we're serious.

Comrade, just take off your mask and vote Republican.

In a normal election you'd just be throwing away your vote.

In this election you're actually complicit in the end of American democracy.

That's not how that works but nice try.

It is, though. A 3rd party candidate will never get elected in our current system. Full stop.

This coming presidential election could literally be the end of the USA, so not voting for the only person who can legitimately win against the threat to our country is no different than voting for the threat.
