    I’m glad you voted your heart in the primary. But I also really hope you are smart enough to vote him in the general.

      I hope he is smart enough to vote against a genocider. Some of us hold our values more formly than others, I suppose. I promised my mom Id never vote for a genocider.

        Vote your values! It’ll be the last time you’ll get to if Trump gets elected. But I mean you’ll have shown Biden something! Right?

        Have you heard the below by any chance?

        FUCK around and find out…

      That really depends on if the Democrats are actually ride or die on this whole genocide thing.

        Democrats are more likely to waver on the Palestinian genocide then the Republicans. But even assuming that they have the exact same positions, Republicans still have measurably worse positions on pretty much everything else.

        I enjoy enough privilege to not be troubled by Republican policies, but many of my comrades do not enjoy that same privilege. I vote on their behalf too.

          Republicans are worse on everything else, but at least when they’re running things into the ground democrats are actually motivated to take action- as opposed to when its their guy doing it and they all act like their shit doesn’t stink.

          Biden eliminated all the supports + eviction protections from covid. If Trump was trying to “end COVID” with 9/11s of deaths happening every month do you really think the Democrats would just be going along with it?

            You aren’t explicitly saying a Trump presidency would be better for America, but do you understand that most people will take your comment to mean that?

            Edit: … And that’s what she meant.

                  I don’t say this to in any way condone the genocide. I’m fully against the genocide. But, this is a complex issue with a lot of factors on both sides that can drive normally reasonable people to do bad things.

                  What an enormous piece of shit, between that and your intentional misgendering in the other comment, I was not surprised that you’re “against” genocide except when team blue does it.

                  Why else would you be jumping into my replies to misgender me and threaten me with what the reactionaries will do after Biden loses the election?

                  You are all so into your team sports that you can’t process dissent and have to attack the messenger instead.

                    Aww I thought you didn’t care, you poor little guy.

                    I find it amusing, you’re intentionally advocating your own destruction.

                    But someone uses the wrong pronoun and you lose your shit. Keep at it!

                    I’ll be the one holding up a surprised Pikachu face sign to you while you’re thrown in a camp.

                    I generally am a live and let live person. I have friends and family of just about every combination out there. Who I respect and care about.

                    But the gross stupidity your displaying irks me. And not only that, it is dangerous to those I do care about. You want to fuck and find out. Do it with something that won’t hurt others. You have no idea what evil is but you’ll find out if you get Trump elected and he takes what little leash is left off the religious nut jobs that want to destroy you and everyone like you.

              Most people are so into the team sports that anything critical of team blue is treated like a religious heresy.

                There’s a large subcategory of leftists who refuse to say whether Trump or Biden would be a better president. If you feel you aren’t treated with sufficient charitability, you should put the blame squarely on their shoulders.

                  I don’t really care about people I don’t like treating me charitably, I want democrats to stop being absolute dogshit and I don’t see how rewarding them with a vote does that.

                    Hey guy, I’m not worried. If you had some common sense, you might be worried though. “Treating me charitably”? Have you read the news at all? The shit going on right now is precursor to throwing people in concentration camps type shit.

                    So guy, unless you’re a white conservative male, you might not be too keen on Trump winning.

          I hope that Biden stops trying to send funds and weapons to Israel then, and pulls those ships from the red sea.
