As opposed to? You either choose the lesser evil, choose the greater evil or you opt-out which in turn is choosing to allow the greater evil. You aren't choosing good by not participating.
Vote your ideals in the primaries. But when the general election comes along, you choose the best option. Simple as that.
The lesser of two evils is enabling a genocide. When do you guys rise up?
The greater of two evils will accelerate the exact same genocide in question (Gaza) and enable genocide in other areas, e.g. Ukraine, and possibly Taiwan in the future if and when that situation escalates. This is not the argument to make, unless you're intentionally arguing in bad faith.
They are arguing in bad faith, friend. These types of people are just trying to sow dissent. I am glad you made your point, as it succinctly points out the flaw in their logic. Kudos! 👍
The third option is to start fresh. Maybe you guys can finally outlaw slavery!
Hey, buddy. Do you have a job? Are you able to quit that job and never have to worry about anything else?
Because if not, well guess what! You are also a slave, just like I am! The true enemies of us all are the elite who throw their infinite wealth around like candy, and fuck us all from the top down, except of course, themselves. The only way to combat this egregious issue, is to band together. Right now, in our reality here in the states, is that we have to choose crusty ass Biden, instead of Wannabe Dictator, rapist, and pedophile extraordinaire Donald Trump who has also gone bankrupt around 7-8 times, and that’s not even including his moral bankruptcy!
So, your argument here is kind of lost in the void, because the above is our only legitimate way to keep whatever little bit of Democracy we sort of have.
You're so close you could almost taste it. Strike breaking Biden isn't going to reverse decades of social decay. Trump is the symptom, not the problem. At best you're kicking the can down the road, at worst the climate apocalypse starves most of us before it matters.
You people are saying that you're okay with genocide as long as it's Biden doing it on the other side of the world, and not trump doing it to you. Rise up and fight back.
We are saying you are choosing to escalate genocide. I'm not sure why you want MORE genocide, but you keep trying to push people in that direction...
I'm literally saying y'all need to rise up, can you not read? Choose no more genocide.
All I see is someone claiming to "want" to end genocide, but working to escalate it through supporting Trump's election...
It is really rather baffling.
Trump should have been hanged for treason but instead he's the frontrunner for president. Baffling indeed.
Apparently not any time soon, judging from the amount of defensive outbursts and copium in the replies. I guess it hit a little close to home. Anyways, Cornel West 2024, truth, love and justice, y'all✌️
