This whole thing has made me understand anti-abortion voters.
Sometimes you see something that is so fucking horrific that you can not support anyone who is supporting it.
I was against killing innocents when we did it and I still am.
I keep hearing about how I am supposed to be more conservative as I age, but the older I get the more radical, I am becoming.
At what point do we just burn the system down for supporting this kind of shit?
The war is fucking coming either way, I’d rather it be now, so I can fight it instead of my kids.
If we start a major world conflict right now I'm sure it will create sufficient distraction from climate change that your kids won't have anything to fight over.
Which is kind of back to my thesis -- respect and acknowledge the IRA. It's good shit that anyone who voted for Biden, even if it was just as a vote for "not Trump", should be proud of it. Demanding more like it.
It's fine, these peoples' conscience will be clean and that's all that matters. To them.
I mean, they shouldn't be clean as their non-action will just result in far more Palestinian bloodshed. But that's not what matters to them. As long as they don't have to feel bad about it and can say "well I didn't vote for Trump or Biden, so I didn't vote for genocide"
You're a stupid motherfucker. Remember this comment when Trump wins because idiots like you. You will not get to say that what comes next isn't on you.
You think things are bad in Gaza now? Just wait. Voting for someone that just ensures a Trump win doesn't absolve you.
How many actual genocide did Trump pull off?
0?
Seems like only one of them has actually supported genocide.
That said, I can’t wait until his grave is a public toilet
