I see you went with option two lol.

OP, at a certain point there has to be a word to describe what is happening. Just because someone uses it in a derogatory manner doesn't mean that you have to abandon the word or that every usage of it is derogatory.

See: gay

Alternatively, make a third meme about it on a niche Internet forum.

Both fascists.

Incel shit

Yeah, bud. That was my point.

Suppose you're a gay Palestinian. Who do you think is more likely to kill you: Hamas or the IDF?

I thought (gas) motor racing was banned in Switzerland? Doesn't apply to karts I guess?

Well, the article's thesis is more that transportation/traffic engineers don't care. DoTs are set up to get grants and spend money, with a focus on throughput. Very little thought is put into safety, and most "safety" best practices are confusing, outdated, or poorly thought out.

We demand to pass out one cheese sandwich for every ten year-old we napalm. And if you don't do that, we will back down immediately!

I'd rather have a president who's anti-genocide, so I'll be voting for one of the anti-genocide candidates.

You're okay with voting for genocide. I'm not.

I won't vote for anyone who's pro-genocide. You're clearly okay with voting for genocide, but I'm not.

I'll vote for someone who is vocally and demonstrably anti-genocide. If that's neither of the main parties' candidates that's their problem.

I will not vote for genocide.

Has voting for the "lesser" evil ever worked either?

I won't be voting for either of the two parties' candidates as long as they remain pro-genocide.

If they want my vote they're more than welcome to come out with a strong stance against genocide.

Pretty low bar. If neither candidate is willing to meet it I can only assume they do not want my vote.

If they don't want my vote they either don't think they need it or they're more committed to genocide than winning the election.

It's their call.

If he only started thinking Musk was a dipshit asshole during Covid, then he wasn't paying attention.

A warning sign the Harris campaign has continued to ignore and done nothing to try to win back.

If they think they can win without people who won't vote for genocide, best of luck to them, but they clearly don't want my vote, so I see no reason why I should give it to them.

Both parties are currently fighting each other over who can say they support Israel more right now. They're both falling over each other to do more genocide. I'm not voting for a candidate that supports genocide. I'm especially not voting for a candidate who thinks doubling down on doing genocide is going to get them more votes.

The argument is that continuing to reward genocidal behavior will never result in the party going left to get your vote. You're demonstrating that they can literally missile strike babies and you'll still vote for them. They don't need to do anything to cater to you at all, but hey maybe they'll throw a bone to your racist uncle and maybe he'll vote for them instead of the ghoul the GOP runs 4 years from now.

Why ever give anything to the left when "look at the other side" always gets you to fall in line? You've completely taken yourself off the board, politically.

If you (or anyone else) will never change your vote about it, why would they adjust their position?

You've given them no downside to continuing to support genocide other than the weight of thousands of innocent dead on their consciences. It should be fairly obvious how much that affects them.
