Edited to be slightly more fair to people complaining that they don't think genocide is good just fine

If your willing to accept a little genocide in exchange for not having to convince anyone of anything, sure

Wait actually is this you convincing no-genocide voters that a little genocide is fine? Woa that was slick!

Oh yeah *just *convince the Democrats. Sure thing, I'll have it done by Tuesday. Honestly I feel stupid for not thinking of just convincing them. Why has no one tried this before? /S

Good luck convincing enough people that a little genocide is fine to win against trump.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks. I really need it, since when Trump wins he's going to expand the current genocide, then start a new one that will target me.

Believe me, I'm not rooting for it (or don't, Idgaf).

Democrats are more principled than Trump voters though, if one party can survive running on it it's not the democrats.

For someone who's not rooting for it, you seem to be putting a lot of effort into stopping people from voting against Trump.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I don't want to stop anyone voting against Trump, I just think centrists are expecting an awful lot from a constituency that historically underperformed when enthusiasm is low (spoiler: it's never been this low)

What is a 'little genocide'? I thought your whole shtick was that genocide was genocide and 'less' is still genocide.

Are you conceding that there are degrees and less is better than more?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Are you conceding that there's a choice between convincing people genocide is ok vs convincing democrats it's not, and you'd prefer the former?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Voting is the only binary choice. You can do whatever other 'choices' you're babbling about at the same time if you want.

That's not a terrible idea actually, work it from both ends.

Unless you care about the substance of the issue, but if not then go nuts.

The substance of the issue for me is saving Palestinian lives which is one of the many reasons I'm voting for Biden in 2024.

They're already dying kiddo, you need to do a little more than that.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I for one am doing more than that AND voting. Turns out voting has never impeded me from participating in other forms of activism, isn't that magical?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Except no activism you've done has been to convince anyone here that there's a chance democrats are in trouble for supporting genocide

Yall seem really concerned about reassuring each other that you'll vote for Biden, but little effort convincing anyone that Biden might lose because of this.

I'm chatting online with a stranger about it though- so we're both putting in about the same amount of work on the issue ;)
