    “Actively.” There’s that word. What does that mean? Usually it means you’re doing something that causes another thing. Let’s go with that for a second. Let’s say I don’t vote for Harris. Does the genocide end? Almost certainly not, so my action is not perpetuating it. If Trump wins do more people die? Probably, so taking action that causes that is actively creating that situation (and doing nothing is still a choice).

    Harris at least has said continuously she wants to stop it. I’ll actively be part of that instead of actively being a part of making that not happen. Fuck off you genocide enabling ignoramus. Go ahead and pretend like you’re doing something in your quite place.

      Mental gymnastics. You are voting for the people committing the genocide. Not helpless onlookers.

      Oh? Did Harris say something you liked? The day before the election? Well of course she must be telling the truth. And there’s absolutely zero evidence to the contrary! It’s not like she said “war” and not “genocide” even in this statement you’re holding up as her being anti-genocide. That would mean you have the object permanence appropriate to call “baby brain.”

        Mental gymnastics. You’re helping people who want to commit genocide and expand it get elected.

        She’s said many things I like, and as I said she’s said this many times before. This isn’t the first time, but I don’t expect you to know that. Go sit in your corner. You aren’t informed and only want to complain about not getting your way, while also not working towards that.

                Who is doing anything to help trans people? How can you even say what you’re saying and imply you’re doing it for trans people? You’re either up your own ass or you have no political strategy. You’re telling people to vote against the things you care about and you think that’s going to get you political power. You’re horrible.
