Well purely on the genocide topic... While both major parties appear to be okay with one genocide, only one of them appears to want to do their own genocides within the US.
There's a difference between doing it against foreign brown people or American brown people?
Where on earth did you get that from my comment? If one genocide is bad, surely that same genocide (although arguably made more effective) plus an entirely separate, second genocide is worse?
You're saying the red line is at 2 Genocides not 1 Genocide?
You're very good at misrepresenting what people say. Please explain to me how you got anything other than "one of these is worse" from my statement.
No I'm finding out where you stop voting for Democrat.
Say Trump does 25 Genocides and the Democrats 24. What are you voting for?
I will always use my vote to the maximum effect of harm reduction. Why aren't you?
So you're voting third party?
I said harm reduction, not living in a fantasy world.
Are you reducing the harm or participating in it?
Sounds like you're participating in it as well, advocating for people to throw away their vote.
"Do I vote for the guy who will stop all genocides but has no chance of winning? Or do I vote for the guy who will only do 24 genocides, but will also do many many good things for the American people. Oooooor, do I vote for the guy who's going for maximum genocide, wants to crush the American people and prop up corporations, while stealing woman autonomy"
I know what ill do, ill make fun of the people voting for the middle option!
Any action, including inaction when you can act, is participating. I'm choosing the most effective way to minimise the harm.
Why are you trying to encourage people to take actions that have the result of making the situation worse? Why are you supporting more genocide?
You are the person voting for Genocide and actively supporting it. It seems you are projecting.
Repeating a debunked claim doesn't make it true.
Aren't you also voting for genocides by disauding people from voting for someone who has an actual chance at winning?
