That's not a name. How am I supposed to know who to vote for if it shouldn't be Trump or Biden if you can't even give me a name?
Genocide it is then.
So because you can't give me a name for who to vote for, I support genocide?
It sounds like you're saying I will support genocide no matter who I vote for.
So should I just not vote?
I would be more upset with my government than holding my nose and voting. But I'm pretty far left. You do what you have to do to sleep soundly at night.
Maybe if you told me what I should be doing, I could do it. You just keep berating me instead. I mean from what I can tell, no matter what I say or do, you'll accuse me of supporting genocide. No matter who I vote for or whether I vote at all, I support genocide. I apparently support genocide because I exist.
Anything other than organizing against your government is supporting a genocide I'm afraid. Protest, riot, demand change.
Please present your evidence that I have done none of these things. You must have evidence, right? Since I definitely support genocide?
solidarity
Could you be a little more specific?
Because "either you support genocide by existing or solidarity" doesn't really make much sense to me.
i was expressing solidarity with nudding.
Solidarity with their implication that I support genocide by existing?
solidarity with the sentiment that we need to organize, protest, riot, and demand change.
Well you sure as hell could have been more clear about that.
i wasn't talking to you.
