Uhh.... Are you saying you'd vote for Hitler if the other option was Mussolini?
What are you trying to say here? That it's better to "take the higher ground" and just NOT vote? Giving the hardcore right-winger voters an even larger margin by which they elect the horrible option?
Not voting at all is literally he worst of all available options in the vast majority of democratic election systems.
Note: if I'm wrong, and not voting actually sends a message in the US, please educate me. The systems I know count the votes as the percentage of valid votes given, which means that not voting always gives advantage to the right side.
Right. So, just hands up, silent protest kind of thing, give all the power to the even more horrid people?
No, they wouldn't. Because "had enough people not voted" the Republicans would've stayed in power and escalated things even more - as they do.
I guess it just sucks to be stuck in two-party system as hard as the US is. In most other places when you want to show you're not happy with one of the major parties, you vote for the smaller ones. This often forces the winner of elections to enter a coalition government with the smaller fish, giving them a little bit of power.
Which genocide? Gaza, which decidedly WASN'T a genocide at the start, or Uyghurs in China?
Oh, right, I forgot - you people never talk about the Uyghur genocide.
Under the Democrats, Gaza was not a genocide. They had foreign aid, Israel was trucking water and meds in, the strikes were preempted with alerts ensuring extremely low civilian casualties. I know "a lot of people died", but in the first year of Gaza, the civilian casualties were historically lowest in terms of urban combat in a densely populated area.
You can stomp your feet all you want, those are the facts.
Once Trump took over, things escalated IMMEDIATELY, and him talking about changing the Gaza Strip into a hotel didn't help.
What also didn't help was how you people were screaming "genocide" so much, when there was none, that now that there IS a genocide being committed, nobody is paying attention, sweeping it all under the "alarmists are loud again" rug. Congratulations.
I'm not even from the US, mate.
That means your kind, buddy. The people not voting are the genocide voters. Because anyone with half a functioning brain knew that Gaza would get wiped off the face of the Earth when Trump gets power. The people who didn't vote are the ones who would be tried in your scenario.
collapsed inline media
Try again.
Sigh.
Which bit tipped you off? The one where I say Gaza as now a genocide, or the one where I mention the Uyghur genocide?
As for who's complicit - anybody who refused to vote to stop Republicans is complicit in the genocide. Period.
Already banned them.
"There was no genocide under the democrats" proceed to spit a bunch of israeli genocidal propaganda
What a piece of shit lmao. You don't give a shit about politics, just say you want to bomb brown people.
If you bothered to actually read what I wrote, you might understand how ridiculous your comment is.
That's straight up lies

There's no point in disgusting with genocide propagandists. The only way is to spit on their disguisting face.

The IDF claim it only does 60% civilians. Independant researchers shows it's more around 80. These estimate dates back from before the elections.
"There was no genocide under the democrats" fucking liar
I forgot some disguisting bullshit about "Civilians CasUaliTy" directly from the time of israel
