      Does not voting in America somehow stop genocides in Palestine?

      Then you allowed that genocide to make way for the riviera of the middle east (sponsored by the USA)

        If people who stayed home in 2024 voted for Trump’s genocide, then logically, those who voted for Biden in 2020 voted for Biden’s genocide. These things go both ways.

        Why do you support genocide?

        See how ridiculous this is?

          I don’t support it, but when you know both parties are going to support it, you at least go and vote for the one that won’t fuck everything else up and won’t put the genocide on a faster track than it already is.

            It’s a really simple trolly problem. On one set of tracks was Palestine. On the second was Palestine , and American democracy.

            Not voting was saying fuck Palestine, just as much as voting for Harris.

              The US has never been a democracy, at best it was arguably a halfway decent representative republic at one time but if so that was before anyone here was born

            The same genocide that Trump is doing. In fact, Biden’s death toll in Gaza is far, far higher than Trump’s so far.

              Huh. Can you send me the legislation, executive orders or policy decisions that Biden made ordering the systematic murder, displacement, or erasure of a complete group of people?

          Yes.

          We do not escape the implications of our choices.
