• For those choosing not to vote for Biden, voting for a genocidist in a US federal election doesn’t put blood on your hands.

    This isn’t fabricated consent (I mean it is in that lumpins are told to believe they chose the government when they didn’t).

    Here’s the thing: The office seat will be filled whether or not you vote. And you get one non-transferable vote.

    This means you get to vote against the worse popular guy by voting for his most likely contender.

    It’s the trolley problem, only millions are voting on the position of the lever. What we cannot do is move the lever out of position.

    It’s still up to you. Taking action is harder than not taking action, but we are staring down Project 2025, the neutering of elections in the US and one-party autocracy (the Republican party), which will also speed up the dismantling of civil rights in the US. If you don’t want that to happen, please consider voting against Trump and any other Republicans down ballot.

    Yes, it sucks the US is reduced to this sorry state.

      Biden also isnt the one doing a genocide. He’s the one trying to navigate a complex geopolitical clusterfuck, while dealing a genocidal maniac who very clearly wants Donald Trump to win so he can turn the genocide up to 11.

      The intentional willingness to suck all nuance out of this conversation and reduce it to a single binary purity test is complete madness. It’s hard to believe anyone pushing this rhetoric is operating in good faith.

      Also worth noting, this is not mutually exclusive with other efforts! Keep pressuring the Democratic party, keep protesting, keep boycotting Israel-invested companies!
