If you’re looking for a point in history when there wasn’t someone getting hit by the trolley, you’ll be looking a while.

"It's the way we've always done it" isn't a justification for continuing.

Feel free to get back to me when you develop your magic "Everyone wins and no one is hurt" formula for actions on a societal scale.

It doesn't have to be "everyone wins and no one gets hurt" in order to be better than supporting genocide.

You're seriously casting "stop supporting genocide" as a pipe dream for people with unrealistic expectations.

Congratulations. You've 'stopped supporting genocide' by witholding your vote for mean ol' Biden. That'll show him!

The trolley now goes down the Trump rail, and crushes even more Palestinians, in addition to Ukrainians, American minorities, and god knows who else.

Yeah, gonna go ahead and say that "CORNEL WEST COMES OUT OF THE DRESSING ROOM WITH A STEEL CHAIR!" or whatever the red herring candidate du jour is is a fucking pipe dream.

I'm still voting for Biden, just like I was last time you made this baseless accusation.

So your argument, then, is that you will be withholding your "support for genocide", by doing exactly what everyone who is "supporting genocide" is doing.

Wonderful. Glad we could clear that up.

My argument is that Biden should lose your vote by ceasing his support for genocide.
