      at least I’m not a Russian rent boy.

      You think this is worse than being a genocidal fascist. Says everything.

      Backing genocide isn’t better.

      There is no harm-reduction past a certain point, there is just throwing vulnerable people under the bus to save yourself.

        I honestly have no idea what the logic is supposed to be here?

        Are we supposed to be so virtuous that we allow Republicans to kill all of us just so we die with the Palestinians that no matter who we elect will die!? It makes absolutely no sense.

        We can talk in 2028 when we actually have a say again in who is running, but as it stands now we’re stuck with who is up there now.

          No, we’re not.

          The convention hasn’t happened yet.

          Finally, the logic is simple. Biden is a genocidal fascist. If you’re afraid that we will live in a fascist state if Trump is elected, then my answer is we already do.

          If Trump is elected and goes full fascist, what do you plan on doing? Whatever it is, you should already be doing it.

          Are we supposed to be so virtuous that we allow Republicans to kill all of us just so we die with the Palestinians that no matter who we elect will die!? It makes absolutely no sense.

          Resisting fascism and genocide isn’t about virtue. It’s about survival. You’ve been conned into believing that if you just vote for the lesser genocidal fascist, then you or whatever oppressed group you identify with will be fine. You will not.

          This well known poem

          First they came for the Communists
          And I did not speak out
          Because I was not a Communist
          Then they came for the Socialists
          And I did not speak out
          Because I was not a Socialist
          Then they came for the trade unionists
          And I did not speak out
          Because I was not a trade unionist
          Then they came for the Jews
          And I did not speak out
          Because I was not a Jew
          Then they came for me
          And there was no one left
          To speak out for me
          

          is about you.
