    You said to Organize and admit a genocide is occurring, while not letting yourself be convinced that voting is the only course of action.

    Of course voting is not the only course of action. Voting is incredibly little. What, you check a box? Maybe wait a few hours at most to get into a pilling station? Dear God.

    This is an incredibly limited amount of political action, particularly given the way in which box checking translates into any political action (electoral college, media monopolies, biased education, wage slavery limiting political education, campaigns built on donations from capital).

    I’m saying that’s awesome but what do we do when trump gets elected because no one wants to vote now?

    You actually do political work. You become educated and join an organization that does more than act as a sheepdog that turns alienatuon into genocide votes.

      And in the end Trump wins the vote and you lose your oppurtunity to do any real politcal work! Congrats.

        Trump was already president once and my political work was actually easier because liberals were outraged and could not understand the complicoty of their representatives. Their representatives merely reflect the cynical apathy of their position that is shielded when they are in power.

        If Trump were an existential threat would you just be sitting around posting bad logic? You know he is just an incremental partial detriment in some ways and some vague miasma in other ways. Biden is, for example, a much more coherent genocidal Zionist, as is Harris.

        Rather than quibble about how to appease one’s inner Eichmann, why not fight against it?

          Hope you can look trans and queer people in the eye and tell them their genocide will be worth it in the end because you’ll stop all genocides. You know, after they’re dead and gone.
