"as aoc said when arguing why you should vote for biden the first time: you’re not just voting for the person who already gives you everything you want. you’re voting for the person you will argue against, criticize, protest and try to convince to do what you want. out of the two, who do you think is less likely to respond to protests? who’s more likely to be open to dialogue, even if it’s an adversarial one? vote for Harris, then protest the fuck out of her positions you don’t like. maybe with enough pressure you can force some change. with mango mussolini you have no chance."

My favorite lib strategy. Give up what little leverage you have, give the person you don't like everything they want, and then complain about it from a position of zero political influence. Also, if you complain well enough to actually require an issue be addressed, you'll get the full weight of the US legal and enforcement mechanisms on your ass.

Bruh trump may have been effective in turning some arab states' backs on palestine but biden and harris ran one of the most effective white washing of a genocide I've ever seen. I don't think people contemplate how bad it is.

Genocide is evil and I will oppose it by carrying out my prescribed role in the genocide machine. I’ve heard if you just work hard enough the machine will stop doing genocide and build a welfare state instead.

you won’t defeat it by participating in the system either.

Not trying to praise Bernie, but the they basically say 'I like bust actually'

Imagine if someone evil was shooting at these prisoners instead of me

the more egregious ignorance in that post is the notion that they are participating in the system

its not a very big club, and you ain't in it

Straight up genocide denial. It's the only way I would describe this. Neither Harris or Trump are going to stop the genocide.

Torment is bad, which is why we all must do our part and clock in our 16hrs a day at the Torment Nexus type beat

won't defeat it by not participating in the system

the system IS genocide and you won't defeat it by participating within it

I was a dem soc in 2016, border line "Bernie Bro" or whatever, and still voted Clinton in Florida and the best progressive options I could down ballot.

I got blamed for her losing Florida.

I voted Biden despite this. Even though I was a real leftist is 2020.

Somehow, I'm still to blame.

I ain't falling for this shit this time. They want to piss and cry and fart that I'm a problem. But they won't work to get any of the 50% of eligible voters that are disengaged, only to blame the 0.3% that protest vote. Controlled opposition is too nice, they're just opposition at this point.

"do not let the perfect be the enemy of the good" MOTHERFUCKER GENOCIDE ISNT GOOD

Bernie or buster in 2016

bulllllllllllshit

What is the anti-genocide choice because I don't see one.
