    I know I’ll get downvoted for this, and to be clear, all of our governments supporting this genocide are absolute bullshit and capitalism is bullshit.

    However, at least you had one choice that wasn’t actively also trying to destroy your own country and take away the rights of people in your own country to such an extent that they now can’t even worry about what’s happening elsewhere because they’re too worried trying to find healthcare and not get deported, killed, or permanently detained.

    If you were going to not vote in order to take down the system, then show up and take down the god damn fucking system.

      If both parties are doing a genocide right now, how can you argue this is a bad thing?

      From a global perspective, the U.S. empire can’t end soon enough. It’ll even be good for the U.S. if we manage to take all that money reserved for worldwide slaughter and build houses and pay for education with it. Unfortunately, none of that appears likely to happen unless the empire crashes and burns first. Whether we can make something better out of that is another question.

      Let me give you this dilemma, given the imperial nature of the US and that you need an overhaul of the system, isn’t trump the perfect candidate to vote to do just that?

      When a normal, moral person discover that a country is hellbent on genocide, they would think that destroying that country is a good thing.

      take away the rights of people in your own country

      The genocide in the colonies must continue for the benefit of the people in the capital.

      they now can’t even worry about what’s happening elsewhere

      So you were worrying before? Certainly didn’t accomplish anything.

      “I’ll get downvoted for this but…” Says the most valid take ever

      Nevermind

        The valid take of “yes the people I support are committing the worst acts imaginable to mankind, but I stand to personally benefit, so it’s actually good to support them.”

          You made me think I supported someone who was against Palestine, he literally does not say that, you only infer that just because he isn’t fully anti-democrat and is using the ‘lesser evil’ arguement

          Oh the thinks Palestine/Hamas will destroy Israel nevermind

            Where the fuck did I say Palestine would destroy Israel?

            I am 100% pro-Palestine, I just genuinely do not understand how voting someone in who has exponentially sped up the genocide and sped up the suffering of brown, queer people and women, in his own country is somehow the more moral choice in all of this. It doesn’t make any fucking sense to me.
