If Democrats will support one genocide because it's politically expedient, they'll support another genocide if it becomes politically expedient.
You've convinced me, I guess I'm fine with the party that presently wants all the lgbt folks dead being in power, because the other one could potentially be swayed to change their present position of not wanting all the lgbt folks dead
You're fine with a party that supports genocide as long as the victims are people you consider disposable.
To clarify, I'm not fine with it, but as an adult I understood that my choices in 2020 were Biden and Trump, and I hope you can understand that Trump would have been as bad as Biden in all the ways he's bad, and worse than Biden in every other way.
I'm not advocating for voting third party.
I'm just scared that the "good" party is so happy to use the same arguments it uses when it kills the minimum wage increase to defend supporting genocide.
It's like they've given themselves license to do anything as long as republicans can be credibly worse.
Nah, I already said you convinced me. I fully regret voting Biden in 2020. I mean, if I'd voted 3p, we might have gotten Trump, and life would be worse for everyone, but at least I wouldn't have tried my best to reduce the amount of suffering in the world by filthying my hands by voting for anyone but Christ himself.
