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

Voting for Biden without trying to tell him he needs to stop supporting genocide will likely still result in him losing.

Weird how you didn't deny being a Russian instigator stoking division among progressives.

Because it's both unfalsifiable and deeply unserious

Yeah, sure. That's the reason.

It's just completely out of the realm of possibility to prove that you're not a Russian troll. /megasarcasm

Where'd you live?

Does it concern you a little bit, though, that I'm really American and there might be a lot more who think like me?

Fine, assume I'm a Russian troll if you want, but it'd be smart to at least pretend that there's a small possibility of there being a low turn out, and you should have a plan on how to address that.

The idea of actually caring that 2.3 million people are on the brink of starvation is so foreign to you that you have to conjure fantasies of Russian troll farms targeting Lemmy to explain away complaints.

I did that. I'm also going to vote against more genocide, done not just abroad but at home.

In the voting booth, there is no "no genocide" button. Your choices come down to "more genocide" and "less genocide", and you get to push towards one outcome or the other.

Personally, I'm going to take a brave stance against "more genocide", but if your principles keep you from engaging with the real options, well.

I'm sure the people who die who wouldn't have otherwise will forgive you.

I'm not worried about what I do in the voting booth, I'm worried about the 1.3% margin Biden won by in 2020
