I never claimed to be a tankie, so allegations against them hold no weight with me.

As voting is not required, I have not abrogated. I am doing something, I am using discretion to withhold support of genocidal candidates.

It is the reality we live in, and I'm not happy about it as much as the next guy. I refuse to give my support to any candidate who is saying they'll support a genocidal regime. The rest is out of my control.

I don't care what others believe, they're voting to support genocide. The only control I have in this situation is to not actively support those commiting genocide. Everything else is out of my control.

So is every american voting for these candidates, I refuse to give them my support by choosing to actively support genocide.

By virtue of birthplace, we are all supporting it. The only control I have in this situation is to not actively support the people who are saying they will give support to a genocidal regime. Also saying "Don't commit genocide or I won't vote for you" really should not be the controversial take that it's become.

I'd rather be doing that than voting to support a genocidal candidate.

The lady in favor of continuing to support a genocidal regime? No.

I am already complicit by virtue of birthplace, that doesn't mean I have to take an active role in supporting the lesser evil.

The genocide is going to happen either way, as both candidates are in favor of it. The only choice I have in the matter is whether to to support those candidates with my vote or not. I am complicit by virtue of birthplace, that doesn't mean I have to actively support it by helping the lesser evil further their political goals.

So kiss my north end.

The unfortunate thing is we can't have zero genocide. I just don't want to be complicit in supporting it. I didn't create this situation or these choices, I'm just responding to them.

I don't think anyone thinks trump is going to rescue anything.

I didn't create the situation, I'm just reacting to it. Feel free to tell your kids and grandkids that, when given the choice, you actively supported a genocide.

I'm further left than you're probably comfortable with.

I'll respond when it's convenient for me, but I appreciate your patience.

1. The Palestinians are fucked either way. Either the party that enabled the genocide will stay in power, or a party will take over that everyone agrees will be worse.
2. My stance on genocide will not change. There's a good chance that the dems will use the genocide as a carrot to get voters to the polls, and then move the goalposts later. They're leveraging genocide for political gain, I'm just against genocide.

They're using synpathy towards people suffering genocide to try and coral people to the polls. I've seen this before. What happened with Roe V Wade? Why are kids still in cages at the border? Why is minimum wage still so low?

Madam Vice President, too little has been done on issues that were previously promised. I cannot take these people at their word.

Want my vote? End support now. It's been a year of genocide with you at the right hand of Biden. All those lives lost happened on your watch. I will not be duped into voting for someone who has been complicit in commiting genocide, who is now promising to stop that same genocide because it happens to coincide with their political goals.

I will not support a genocide, on the promise of it being ended, only to wake up on January 21st just to hear 'Well, the situation is more complicated than just simply ending support, but I vow...!"

You've had a year to end it, and too little has been done to stop it. I will not vote for a genocidal candidate. I will not say that I support genocide by voting for these people. I will not be an accomplice.

It's sickening to think that they probably allowed the genocide to continue just to use it as a carrot to lead people to the ballot box, all the while lining the pockets of the military industrial complex.

Fuck off with your promises, you're in the White House now.

No idea what you're talking about, I don't own a single tracksuit and I don't even like vodka.

Gunna vote twice, once for each candidate, so I double my chances of ensuring genocide. It's what america was founded on, it's what our forefathers would have wanted.
