    The Democrats are bad, but the Republicans want you dead.

    Do you really need it spelled out more than this ? VOTE for heaven’s sake.

      The Democrats just don’t care if you die. And they’ll gladly fund genocide on the other side of the planet. If they’re willing to kill brown women and children on the other side of the planet for the sake of wealth and power, why do you imagine you’re safe? And if you are, do you deserve to be, if that’s the price?

        Between “Burn our country, and theirs, as fast as possible” and “Only burn their country, and slower so people don’t pay attention” there’s clearly a right and a wrong choice.

          The idea that supporting genocide is a “right choice” to people is unacceptable. If you’re willing to murder innocent women and children for the sake of your comfort and safety, you deserve neither.

            These people are just simply insane. By “not supporting genocide” they actually mean “making the genocide worse through inaction”

            I’m sorry but if all the choice you get is “fast genocide” and “slow genocide”, you choose the slow option, especially when you know the fast one will win by default if people don’t unite for slow.

            Do you realize you’re just the guy in the trolley problem who lets the train run over 5 people instead of just 1 because then it’s technically not your fault ?

        jfc thank you, Lemmy is a digital liberal hellscape sometimes

        (but I still love what it represents because it’s better than the realistic alternatives)

      Democrats clearly wanted Palestinians dead, and I am no better than them, ergo I will not vote for those genocidal scum even if it serves my own interests. It’s ridiculously basic solidarity.

      Some of us have a memory longer than 4 years (sorry for Xitter link but it was either that or Reddit for the source).

        Both parties want the Palestinian dead, so i doesn’t sway the balance either way.

            That still makes you half as guilty of what this administration does as if you had voted for them.

            The democrats would not be awesome, but they wouldn’t have concentration camps and ICE murdering people in the streets.
