  • take a scroll down this Wikipedia page

    I am once again asking liberals to stop treating Wikipedia as holy Scripture.

    the famine was a choice

    It was a result of bad policy, and that policy was a choice, but it's pretty misleading to try and spin that as making the famine itself "a choice".

  • "Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past."

    • Jean-Paul Sartre
  • So they want the factory to be privately owned and run for profit, but they still want the government to interfere

    We should take a step back and recognize that they want the government to interfere by recognizing and enforcing their ownership of the factory in the first place.

  • We are going to have to agree to disagree on the modern common definitions of things then.

    That sounds like you being mindlessly stubborn.

    but clearly many people identify as socialist but not communist.

    Those people are usually welfare capitalists.

  • So now the genocide in Gaza has been ramped up exponentially

    It hasn't, you were just a lying genocide denier when it was your team doing it. This, incidently is why I don't take "lesser evil' Democrat supporters seriously anymore, because they're always quick to reveal that they're dishonest denialists about how evil the Democratic party actually is.

  • Genuinely curious how you came to that conclusion?

    Well the bit where they describe their wholesale extermination as "a single foreign policy issue". Or the bit where they value the lives of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians less then a single digit number of Americans.

    wouldn’t actively try to destroy LGBT/women/minories’ rights

    Again, makes it seem like you don't consider Palestinians human. Palestinians are women, Palestinians are LGBT. The Democrats were actively destroying their lives.

    What other choice to we have besides continuing to protest and using our meager wages to help fund aid for Palestine? Wtf else is the OP supposed to do to prove they care about Palestinians in your eyes?

    Not whining about and attacking the people opposed to their genocide while supporting the people carrying out their genocide.

    I have so many queer friends, and I am dating a trans person. I know so many immigrants

    A number that is essentially negligible compared to the number of people massacred in Gaza.

    Why shouldn’t I be mad

    Does "being mad" help anyone? Or is this just you admitting that this was never about pragmatic lesser-evilism and is just Democrat supporters being petulant that they lost.

    Like. How does being mad that people picked Option B mean you are fine with people dying?

    Maybe you should be mad at the people committing genocide. Not the people fucking opposing it.

    You know, if you genuinely believe in the "lesser evil" argument and actually follow it to its conclusion, you shouldn't be looking at a situation where "doing another Holocaust" is bipartisan policy, and trying to figure out how you can ensure that you and your friends can be most comfortable. You should be trying to figure out what will most quickly lead to the collapse and destruction of the USA government. But I don't see many VBNMW types willing to actually follow through on that.
