    No. You are guarunteeing the “greater of two evils” by trying to force people to approve genocide.

    The only thing you should be doing is pressuring your representatives to cut off aid to Israel in whatever way you can. If you want Joe Biden to be president again that’s the only way. No one is going to respond to this fear mongering bullshit anymore. That strategy has only slid us closer to fascism, it’s time for the Democrats to prove they’re different, not for everyone to accept that they’re the same.

    Demanding that people support genocide is a non-starter. Try again.

      Of course, the privileged who won’t suffer aren’t going to stand for concerned minorities anymore who will be oppressed and killed once they allow fascism into power. How brave of you!

        Notice how these ding dongs you’re tangling with only ever say bad things about Biden/Democrats? They’re either active propagandists or fully taken by them.

        The question to ask here, to really lay it out: Whether you like it or not, politics in the US are between Republicans and Democrats. The presidential election is between Biden and Trump. Who’s worse by a country mile?

          They’ll say “They’re both the same!”

          One will make it MUCH harder to organize and fight for a better future, in addition to very likely destroying what democracy we do have in this country and murdering hundreds of thousands of minorities.

          The other will do, effectively, very little about anything, as insufficient as that is.

          I think the choice is obvious, but apparently fascism is preferable to some self-proclaimed leftists.

            When of course they are not both the same. Hell, even talking about Gaza/West Bank/Golan Heights, who actually thinks that the US with Republican control of Congress and POTUS wouldn’t double the fuck down on enabling the Israeli government to subjugate Palestinians?

            I’ve been alive long enough to know that the state of politics in the US since about 2012 is not normal, and that abnormalcy all comes from conservative lunatics, who are growing in number, or have always been there quietly, or both.

            But really, as long as the commentary is just about how bad Biden/Democrats are … “Go home, Russian propaganda.”

              Hey now!

              It might be Israeli propaganda they’ve been fed. Bibi needs a Trump administration to keep him in power so he can genocide the West Bank too.

                It’s a simple fact that Russia has been interfering with US elections using propaganda campaigns online since at least 2015, probably much earlier. They You continue to do so now.

                Whether you like it or not, politics in the US are between Republicans and Democrats. The presidential election is between Biden and Trump. Who’s worse by a country mile?

                Go on, now. Say a bunch of bad things about US Democrats while utterly ignoring the dumpster fire that is the Republican party. I’ll wait.

        You forget, the brown people who are against genocide are not very different from the group that suffered from reprisals after 9/11.

        Hardly privileged.

          Allowing Trump to be elected isn’t even incidentally anti-genocide. It’s explicitly pro-genocide.

            And Biden sending bombs to Israel is not pro-genocide?

            What do you think those bombs are going to be used for?

              Biden’s support of Israel being pro-genocide doesn’t make supporting his opponent anti-genocide, considering his opponent has literally come out on record saying that Israel isn’t being genocidal ENOUGH for his tastes and that he would support them to the hilt, in addition to all the plans he has for genocide elsewhere, like Ukraine and the US.

              I’ve been decrying Israel’s genocide longer than you’ve even been fucking aware of it, buddy. It’s not my fault that you wallowed in ignorance until someone identified you as a useful idiot for fascist agitation. Thanks for admitting that you don’t care about genocide so long as it’s against the ‘right people’, like me, btw. About what I expect from privileged bougieviks.

                  I’ll go tell my dead family members in Gaza that they’re actually “privileged”

                  Oh, great, then you can tell them that you’re supporting unlimited US aid for Palestinian genocide and for genocide of Palestinian Americans here in addition. I’m sure they’ll be so proud of your moral purity in doing so!
