Computer: You have chosen More Genocide. Have a nice day.

Careful, if the Enlightened Centrists discover your post, they might write some spicy comments about how broken the upvote/downvote system is!

I think you fucked up the choices. It was actually :

Pro genocide

Really pro genocide

Vote for neither and facilitate genocide

[–] Diplomjodler3 17 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

TBF, the first two choices would have to be "a lot of genocide" and "much much more genocide".

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 weeks ago (32 children)

If Kamala had been elected, the left would have been free to slam her on the Gaza issue, AND she would have been free to break from Biden and say "fuck you" to Netanyahu. She had to toe the line during the election and so did we. Once the election was won, we could have rallied. We'd have been united finally, and she wouldn't have needed Biden anymore. Now instead of pressuring a sympathetic president to end a genocide, we have to arm ourselves to die fighting a fascist president. There is no more path to less genocide. That path closed. All three genocides are gonna happen.

Zelensky is now trying to arm his country with nukes because he knows he can't rely on America. Drag is talking to politicians in drag's country about refugee visas for America. We're all getting ready for mitigation and survival. We could have all been focusing on the Gaza issue instead. We could have done something.

So much cope in this comment.

[–] chaonaut 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Sorry, were you around for the past several elections? Perhaps the 2020 elections where, upon the progressives banding with Biden to get him elected with the expectation that we would be able to "push him to the left", the Democratic party decided that the reason they didn't win more seats was because Progressives had damaged their chances of winning, and they must be marginalized. Or perhaps the 2016 elections where, the target of a long running hate campaign was preferred by the party over the popular progressive candidate who was then blamed for his supporters not being won over. Or the 2012 elections where the incumbent Democrat failed to deliver on progressive policies and was a high water mark for drone strikes, but progressives helped bring the win over the candidate Republicans weren't excited for.

I voted for Harris in hopes that she'd beat out Trump despite how much she and Biden before her discarded progressive policy. I was under no expectation of Progressives being able to do a damn thing to reach her.

Don’t forget the DNC tried and failed to ratfuck the 2008 primary in favor of Hillary as well!

And the third choice would have to be "I'm fine with either"

[–] _stranger_ 9 points 2 weeks ago

Last two choices are the same.

[–] frog_brawler 11 points 2 weeks ago

Wouldn’t that have been wild if it were the only thing on the ballot?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Where are all the Democrats saying that Democrats would be anti-genocide after the election?

Guess who is still in power, and guess who just backed out of their ultimatum and refused to reduce military aid to Israel even after they failed to let aid in.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

joseph robinette biden

and yet we still find the time to accuse a miniscule proportion of Arab-Americans struggling through trauma most of us can’t imagine instead of literally the men doing the violence

thanks for being sane tho :)

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

so close! it was actually

  • harris
  • trump
  • and some third parties

on the top of the ballot. this post is to cause division and make you angry, nothing more. nothing is as simple as this bullshit oversimplification and i’m sick of this narrative of attacking a provably insignificant minority instead of attacking the individuals who are still fucking giving unquestioning aid to an apartheid and genocide state

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

Or, alternatively, this is intended to clown on .ml users, because it's hilarious and accurate. I don't think anybody on lemmy would not be cool with attacking Joe and Kamala and Trump on this issue, and the vote total of your comment clearly shows that lmao. (And let's be honest, you knew it would be popular here too). In fact, lemmy is constantly attacking the US on supporting the Israeli genocide, as they should, but funnily enough, nobody here seems to attack China on the Uyghur genocide, which is the point of this meme. By acknowledging that Israel is committing genocide, China would give further impetus for investigation following the UN report which asked for such regarding the Uyghur genocide.

But whatever I guess

[–] finitebanjo 5 points 1 week ago

The second and third options were basically the same, imo.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Is this advocating voting third party? Because that isn't how first past the post works, third parties won't win.

[–] Passerby6497 10 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Is this advocating voting third party?

The exact opposite.

Because that isn't how first past the post works, third parties won't win.

That's why the ambivalent option is the 3rd one, because the only two options they could win are bad but that was the option that so many "anti-genocide" people chose, because moral high ground is more important than trying to engineer practical outcomes.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Is that a communist vote or something?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

No, it's a Stalinist vote. Those people aren't communists.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Stalin was undecided on genocide.

[–] essell 12 points 2 weeks ago

And communism too.
