You're not in Gaza fighting the IDF, and you aren't voting for the candidate that will do the most to mitigate The Genocide™, so it seems like you're actively choosing more genocide. I'll never understand you genocide enthusiasts, absolutely heartless.

Says the person advocating for the guy supplying the genocide with weapons.

Lol, good news is that both of us are doing the same amount to stop the invasion of Gaza right now. However, I'm advocating for deescalation in the future and harm reduction. Maybe even a Palestinian state of their own. You on the other hand are advocating for more genocide and an escalation of the conflict, complete with Israeli condos on the beach in Gaza.

A fun fact about me, I'm also opposed to the Uyghur genocide being carried put by China, as well as the Ukrainian and Rohingya genocides being directly enabled by China. Curiously you only seem to be opposed to genocide if it's a political liability for Joe Biden and can be used to get Trump elected. I wonder why that is.

Anti-genocide is pro-genocide, pro-genocide is anti-genocide and other Newspeak brought you by the crafty narrative-spinning minds at BlueAnon.

You're not actually doing anything to prevent or mitigate genocide. You can pretend you're anti-genocide all day long, but at the end of the day you're doing absolutely nothing about it. And the one thing you can do to mitigate, vote for the candidate that is calling for restraint, you're refusing to do.

So you say you're anti-genocide but your actions are 100% pro-genocide. You can lie to yourself but that doesn't change reality.

Biden is not mitigating the genocide.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Mitigation is a relative term. Biden's policies are going a long way to mitigate harm done compared to Trump's. You may not like it, but that's reality.

Not actively doing worse than someone else is mitigation now?

i was about to go "i guess burning forests is ok too as long as i point out someone worse", but mothers and fathers are already crying over their dismembered kids in gaza, and the other way too.

What a weird non-sequitur comment

There might not be anyone left in Gaza by the next presidential term.
