I am not voting for the person who had my friends slaughtered. Believe it or not, some of us knew people in Gaza.
Since you’re putting the idea that you have lost friends into play- we’re done here. I cannot in good faith, debate with people that claim to have a personal connection to a thing that cannot be verified.
Either you have- and therefore have a tremendous bias that cannot, and should not be argued with, or you haven’t, and you’re here in bad faith to create arguments that will result in anyone disagreeing with you as heartless trolls to be banned.
I’ve seen this WAY too many times.
Have a good day.
Really sad. As though no one has trans, queer, immigrant, or POC friends or friends in need of abortion either. As though we didn’t see the other guy double down on his “finish the job” line once again. Sending love 🩵
Exactly. I’ve had many people affected by the recent christofacist policy. As having lived in Florida for a good portion of my life- until recently, and having a lot of LGBTQ* friends and family, and well… just simply KNOWING women- I’ve had to see a lot of suffering as well- along with suicides and some severe health-decline.
But I guess the rest of us have no say.
I totally understand that (and Im sorry for your loss). But that objectively helps the guy who would not care at all (as opposed to at least trying to put a little bit of pressure) and actually encourage them to go for an even more radical "final solution". Voting is always picking the least evil. The US system simply does not allow you a serious choice - it would be better to direct your anger against that system, instead of against the least evil of the real options.
