I really do feel like I’m taking crazy pills with libs this election. The last two they at least had a bloodless rationale to the “lesser of two evils” rhetoric.
But this is genocide, the canonical Worst Thing You Can DO! I know many just believe that it’s not a genocide at all because Palestinian civilians are all Hamas and just subhuman or that the videos published by official IOF channels are all deepfaked by the hungry ghost of Nasrallah. But then just FUCKING SAY IT and then we can call you a genocide denier and we’ll know where we stand!
What I can’t get is that many do seem to agree it’s a genocide and Kamala is complicit. But then they lesser evil by going “Well if we don’t vote then Trump will do bad things to trans people here.”
Like Fuck You! You scheming, gaslighting bloody handed monster!
Either this is just a disingenuous argument to get your team in power or to maintain liberal civility politics, in which case double Fuck You that you think people are abstract political tools.
Or, you actually believe this, and the freedom of an LGBT person here outweighs the lives of 2 million people, many LGBT, who happen to have had the extreme misfortune to be born 5 cm over the border and thus outside your ability to feel empathy.
In which case Triple Fuck You, because you are, somehow, more of a fascist than Trump. At least Trump is too incoherent to make a complete argument for fascist policy!
I’m going mad, I really am. How can people be streamed genocide live on CNN and just say “well, I guess we’re ok with genocide now!” Is the US public even human?! Even the fucking Germans had the good sense to pretend to look guilty after they lost.
It’s pure cynicism.
They believe the genocide is unstoppable and inevitable, so they write it off as an issue entirely. I’ve literally been told “genocide is not on the ballot” on multiple occasions. Because of the structural issues with US elections we can’t stop the genocide by voting PSL, or Green, or staying home. In their minds they don’t see the point of not voting for the lesser of two genicidiers.
Genocide is on the ballot, most of the ballot is genocide! It is a ballot dripping in blood! GRaarggh!
Literally yes, but genocide is “not on the ballot” in the same way that a vote for anyone other than Harris is a vote for Trump.
They’ve got their whole cynical calculus worked out and think they’re just making a hard choice for the greater good. 🙄
I hate this country lol
Appeal to futility type beat
