    Last election the choice was between Palestinian genocide and Palestinian genocide. You are smoking crack if you think the oligarchy is ever going to provide you with a meaningful choice to loosen their hold on you through the civic ritual of voting.

      False equivalence. Last election was a choice between Palestinian genocide vs significantly more Palestinian genocide + Ukrainian genocide + it’s looking Venezuelan genocide is about to be kicking off + who the fuck knows, we’ve got three more years of this shitshow and that’s assuming we even have another election.

      You chose significantly more Palestinian genocide + Ukrainian genocide + probable Venezuelan genocide + an untold number of atrocities to come.

      Harris was and is shit, but it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to look at Trump and conclude that he’s infinitely worse. You really going to pretend that opposition to genocide was a motivating factor in allowing Trump to win? Cuz you’ve enabled, and are in some part responsible for, a shit ton more genocide.

      You’re also hyperfocusing on the presidential election: voting impacts a lot more than just who gets to be god-emperor of the US for 4 years.

        This line is smoking gun proof that everyone in this thread trying to engage with you is talking exclusively over your head. You

        So you knowingly voted to throw Palestinians under the extermination bus, is that it? And you consider yourself to be on the right side of history? And you never considered that perhaps your slavish ideological devotion to following the rules of a fascist political system was slow-boiling you into a fascist?

        Ukranian genocide

        You’re talking about the ten years of ethnic cleansing the Ukranian nazi government was doing to ethnic Russians within its borders, right? You wouldn’t possibly consider yourself to be against genocide while supporting these guys, right? Because nobody could possibly be that deluded, right? Tell me you’re not that programmed.

        You are doing the thing right now. The other choice is “none of those things,” actually, and you don’t get that by voting harder because as you’ve just demonstrated you were not given the choice. Is any genocide acceptable to you? The line is never “less genocide,” it is “no genocide.”

          There was a choice. Primaries. Americans rejected every option of no genocide, so the final round had genocide A or genocide B. Same way that they rejected Bernie Sanders a few times.
