Voting D is not the cure for cancer but it seems to be a viable chemo treatment... voting R is like feeding the cancer with yellow #5 and plutonium

Funny how there isn't only two choices though.

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Not funny at all actually... but that is what you get when Muricans literally do fuck all to protect their own democracy

You're like a gambling addict that keeps saying "but a 1 in a million shot still has a chance to win" as you go bankrupt.

Seek help.

Democrats are guilty of aiding, and in some cases directly participating in, an internationally-recognized genocide. You are advocating for genocidaires.

You are advocating for genocidaires.

And you're advocating for worse by allowing a worse party to win.

This isn't complicated.

When Biden was president he tried to broker a peace deal. He stated on live TV that he didn't condone Israel's methods. And he floated arms shipment cancellations to try to bring Netanyahu to the table.

Trump, on the other hand, is giving Netanyahu two big thumbs up and talking about turning Gaza into a resort destination once all the Palestinians are dead or forcibly removed.

Now, do I need to explain to you how those things are not the same?

I do not care about your feelings. I care about my own nation's wellbeing first, then after that, I care about helping the Palestinians as much as I can. And helping them as much as I can meant voting Dem, because, as I just made clear, Republicans are WAY WORSE for Palestinians.

"Although the end result was the exact same, one side feigned civility and decorum! How can you not see the difference?"

Yall need to drop this obsession with vibes, messaging, and optics.

Its a common strategy of pretending to be a leftist but playing up the both sides are bad, so don't vote. Which is the go to strategy if they know the demographic they are targeting won't vote right, so next best thing is apathy towards voting and taking them out of the equation.

Democrats are guilty of aiding, and in some cases directly participating in, an internationally-recognized genocide.

And Republicans eagerly participate in genocide as hard as they can... so when you only have 2 choices to compare, the one that does horrible things some times vs the one that only does horrible things and seeks to do the most horrible things all the time, you probably, maybe, want to go with the lesser evil

You are advocating for genocidaires.

The lesser genocidaires (sic)

x3

[–] 7101334@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

"Neither" is a choice

The lesser genocidaires (sic)

lmao at least you're honest with yourself, that's more than most Dems. I don't vote for genocidaires, period.

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world -1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

so you vote for the worst type of genocidaires or knowingly allow them to win by default… you surely are a bastion of morality

[–] Ferrous@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 day ago (3 children)

so when you only have 2 choices to compare [...], you probably, maybe, want to go with the lesser evil

Suppose, in 10 years, your choice for president is between a democrat who openly expresses interest in murdering six million Jewish people, and a Republican who openly expresses interest in murdering seven million Jewish people.

Will you still be an unwavering Democrat?

get liberals to admit they would vote for a literal holocaust so long as the color is blue - with this one simple trick!

[–] davidagain@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago

The Democrats move right when they see the Republicans win. Letting the Republicans win forces the Democrats to move right, because that's where the votes of people who actually fucking vote go. The reverse would also be true. Letting the country drift further and further right by refusing to support or vote for the only people who would move it in even the least bit leftwards is a special form of brain dead crap.

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago

Would you vote for 1 extra million Jewish people to die and pat yourself in the back?

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world -3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What is it going to take to bring you back to reality?

Unless you, yes you personally, go on a quest and succeed in making a 3rd party viable in the U.S. (not going to happen), then you have exactly two choices.

If you don't go for the least evil option when presented with two options, I have to just assume you're evil.

And an evil person going around calling others supporters of genocidaires is just kind of comical.

[–] Ferrous@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

So who would you vote for in my scenario?

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago

I will always vote for the lesser evil because I'm not an idiot. What is hard for you to understand here?
