Edited to be slightly more fair to people complaining that they don’t think genocide is good just fine

me:

voting for a party enabling genocide is voting in support of genocide

you:

Unfortunately for you Israel has been committing genocide against the Palestinians since the 1948 Israeli/Arab war, and the United states has supported them since then. I guess if you want to pretend this is something new and Biden is the cause of The Genocide™ so you can feel better about yourself without actually making a difference then good for you.

also you:

I applaud your mental gymnastics.

You:

if you vote for biden, you are voting for genocide

Me:

If you’re a human being that exists in America you have supported genocide in some capacity, and voting for Biden doesn’t mean you support it anymore than if you do not vote, voting 3rd party, or voting for Trump. America needs to fix its relationship with Israel and Palestine, but Joe Biden is no more culpable for what’s happening in Gaza than any president before him, and he’s light years ahead of the other main party candidate in his support for Palestinians. Your ability to place that blame solely on Joe Biden and people who support him involves an impressive level of mental gymnastics.

Hope that clears it up for you. If you mean something else I’d love to hear it.

cool, but that’s not what i said

i said voting for biden is voting in support of genocide

you might hate genocide, but objectively, voting for a candidate aggressively enabling genocide is voting in support of that genocide

the rest of your comment is just filler

America was founded on the genocide of native Americans, this is objectively true

Of course acknowledging that has always been a problem for Americans, but who knew stopping themselves from doing it again would be such a hard sell

You:

refraining from using my vote, so that Trump will win is the moral and reasonable course of action to help Palestinians, despite Trump being an insane fascist who’s also Putin’s little bitch

This person is completely fine to punish America if they don’t get their way. They are aware of the damage Trump will do to the LGBTQ+, to women’s rights, to education, to PALESTINE…. but they clearly don’t care.

If they can’t get their single issue addressed- they are willing to ruin an entire country so that they can stand in the wreckage and say

“I told you this would happen if you didn’t listen to me.”
