Thank you for being one of the rare honest liberals that admits that this is purely cynical lip service and that you can't end a genocide by voting for the nazis committing it
not that you get much credit for that from me. you are after all a nazi acting like that cynicism is a good thing
You couldn't be any more convincing that no one should ever listen to you. I know people like you are allergic to actually doing anything that will progress what you supposedly believe, but at least you could not insult people who are literally agreeing with you.
I'd rather be allergic to progressing towards my believes than actively support genocide. But I don't think that's how this works. I think the people I'm alienating myself towards are already unforgivable nazi trash who are diametrically opposed to the better world I would like to create. You on the other hand want to preserve comfort for yourself at the cost of millions of lives just because they're brown and across the world. So this childish mean girls shit you just tried to pull isn't the worst thing about you by a long shot.
"Actively." There's that word. What does that mean? Usually it means you're doing something that causes another thing. Let's go with that for a second. Let's say I don't vote for Harris. Does the genocide end? Almost certainly not, so my action is not perpetuating it. If Trump wins do more people die? Probably, so taking action that causes that is actively creating that situation (and doing nothing is still a choice).
Harris at least has said continuously she wants to stop it. I'll actively be part of that instead of actively being a part of making that not happen. Fuck off you genocide enabling ignoramus. Go ahead and pretend like you're doing something in your quite place.
Mental gymnastics. You are voting for the people committing the genocide. Not helpless onlookers.
Oh? Did Harris say something you liked? The day before the election? Well of course she must be telling the truth. And there's absolutely zero evidence to the contrary! It's not like she said "war" and not "genocide" even in this statement you're holding up as her being anti-genocide. That would mean you have the object permanence appropriate to call "baby brain."
Mental gymnastics. You're helping people who want to commit genocide and expand it get elected.
She's said many things I like, and as I said she's said this many times before. This isn't the first time, but I don't expect you to know that. Go sit in your corner. You aren't informed and only want to complain about not getting your way, while also not working towards that.
Who is doing anything to help trans people? How can you even say what you're saying and imply you're doing it for trans people? You're either up your own ass or you have no political strategy. You're telling people to vote against the things you care about and you think that's going to get you political power. You're horrible.
What kind hellish discrimination is this?
People can decide what ever sexual or gender orientation they want to be.
Just by looking at name one cannot genderise others. Which century are living in? Even if you are so anti against genocide against brown people, what about the black people who were used to work and tortured? Accepting that as a norm seem fine ur idealism.
Try to refrain from speaking against something which Trumpists are well know for supporting. Century old traditions of oppressing the non-whites.
Still meandering in the times of mean girls! Grow up jackass!
Being scripted is the best tone for reacting to such nonsense.
Not able to understand with ur one celled brain is typically the mindest every Trump loyal seems to show.
Broken English as fuck - beliefs not believes
Uneducated fool!
Haha! You got me! Go team burning children alive with white phosphorus! Yay!
Blood soaked nazi
Use your words
Sometimes emojis have much more emphasis... Only a non chatbot will understand.
I want you to say out loud that you're exasperation is based on people not letting you commit genocide without criticism.
Well you're one of the child brains in this case so good for you I guess? If your single issue is between someone who can't suddenly fix your problem overnight while trying to stop fasism and a fascist who promised genocide in the place you care plus where he wants to run as president then you need to think about your choice.
The president can literally fix this problem overnight
Minor distinction, but Israel doesn't have a President, Netanyahu is the Prime Minister.
