PS.
I would for vote Kamala. I would vote for a cactus with sunglasses if it had the Democratic nomination. You would do yourself well to consider anything that is weaking the resolve of the anti-trump sentiment straight poison to your brain. We have only one job this novemeber and that is to stop trump. The Supreme Court has given him the status of king. Quit acting like your vote is sacred and start realizing your vote is your final cry before your rights are forfeited.
genocide is not really meh
It's not like Trump would have condemned it either.
Oh, that makes it okay then.
Of course not. But in the American implementation of FPTP, even more so than somewhere like the UK, you must pick the lesser of two weavels.
I remember the time there was a genocide in Rwanda and then they implemented FPTP and the genocide stopped. Wish more people would learn the lessons of history.
well, yeah. choosing between two genocidal maniacs says a lot about democracy, or the lack thereof.
Context. We are talking about a US presidential candidate.
Because of the military industrial complex there are only two types of US presidential candidates.
Ones who have contributed to some form of genocide around the world
And
Ones who have yet to contribute to some form of genocide around the world
this is exactly what makes it not meh, any other country would be a brutal militaristic dictatorship.
See the "other country" part of your response. That's where context comes in.
You're right, in the most basic, duh, observational type way, the US Government is toxic to the core.
If that's validating to you, and you think we need to linger on it, you're not really ready for the discussion you are currently taking part of.
I'd like to go back in time and live there with you, with all my heart. I really can't though. So, please stay where you're at. When this goes up, fork in electrical socket sytle, we will need you.
way to write a lot of things without really saying anything.
i'm still a bit surprised that "genocide is not just meh" has elicited such a controversial response here.
That's because you don't understand subtext.
Biden's position on Israel/Gaza isn't good, but it's entirely expected. Israel is the only real US ally in the Middle East, which means the US is going to side with Israel pretty much regardless of what Israel does for strategic reasons if nothing else. The odds we'd do anything more severe than asking nicely if they'd maybe tone it down a bit while still giving them everything they want is functionally zero.
And that's not really going to change regardless of who is president.
so genocide doesn't matter in the face of losing their tight grip hegemony over the middle east. isn't good is a bit of an understatement. i dont think this is a fair justification for what the us does around the world.
It's not, but it's also not something you're going to change by voting for Biden, Trump, some candidate with no chance of winning or no one at all. Because every road leads to the US continuing to support Israel.
exactly what i mean.
