Seriously I’m not trying to start T, but I can’t help but feel there’s a disconnect in the memes you’re posting, and the takes you’re having in the comments. To me this meme, and others you have posted, seem to try to catch progressives, dems, leftists, whatever demographic, in this sort of gotcha that is the same gotcha that actual right wing actors are trying to use to push potential voters for Harris to vote third party or not at all. Does voting for Harris still make us complicit in genocide. Yeah, sure, probably, but putting Trump in office makes us all a whole lot more than complicit. I think we are in agreement. Genocide bad. Trump bad. Trump make genocide worse. Harris not great. But Harris better for US and probably for Palestine in the long term.
Idk, maybe consider shifting your posting away from right wing “gotchas” to things that actually get people discussing the issues rather than trying to make them feel bad for feeling trapped in the two party system and maybe accidentally pushing them away from participating in the political process. Seems like it’s bringing heat your way from commenters, and honestly, the whole “I’m just being devils advocate because someone has to be” is just making you a blah person to interact with no matter how you plan to vote, who you support where, and which issues are deal breakers for you. Tbh we aren’t really in a position to be picky.
You’re welcome to post anything you’d like that would help stop the genocide.
you're accusation of bad faith is, itself, bad faith
