You have no choice but to vote for the genocide enabler. It is the only way to save “democracy.” The type of democracy where you have to support the abhorrent to keep out the truly monstrous and if you say you won’t, a bunch of self important liberals will pretend it’s all your fault and not the parade of geriatric ghouls the party has been nominating

Yes, isn’t it terrible when democracy doesn’t agree with you? The only TRULY democratic society is one where those pesky proles listen to those who know what’s good for them, right?

No, and I don’t really know how you could come to that conclusion, since the meme doesn’t say anything about whether any given act or ideal is ‘true democracy’.

Yes, only a paltry plurality. If only there were a way that the option that even less people agree with could win.

Democracy doesn’t work particularly well when the voters are uneducated or otherwise missinformed. That when the country starts doing things that are against its and its own citizens interest. Corruption, legal or otherwise, also contribute to making it disfunctional.

So we’re just coming out against democracy now when the proles aren’t on our side, are we? Great. Glad to see this brave new form of leftism.

This argument is the justification for the Electoral College.

If Biden doesn’t win, it’s 100% on him and the DNC for running shit politicians. Fuck you for blaming people refusing to vote for Genocide Joe.

I’m not American, but even I can see the difference between Biden and Trump on Palestine is Biden won’t halt weapons sales, while Trump’s state department would be offering Egypt and Jordan billions of dollars to relocate the Palestinians

Well you choose to blame the people instead of blaming Biden who can end all of this today and end up winning in a landslide.

The fact that Biden chooses to risk a Trump administration over ending a genocide should be very concerning to the average voter, but Americans of course rather blame the people than their elites. Same shit like with anti Union stances.

I don’t know how this delusion became so widespread, but the idea that withdrawing support from Israel is a consensus position even just within the Democratic Party is so utterly divorced from reality that it baffles me.

Twelve downvotes inside of two minutes? Lmao.

https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/majority-us-democrats-believe-israel-committing-genocide-gaza-poll

And that is in the current media landscape, where the Dems were still defending Israel and downplaying their actions. If they went out to go full documentation, full coverage about war crimes, full rhetoric about who Netanyahu, Ben Gvir, Likud and the other fascists really are…

And we now see the worst yet to come with the invasion of Rafah. The only way Biden and the Dems can salvage this, is if they go 180° now. Otherwise they will just keep losing face to their base, as more and more atrocities become public.

Just because I’m blaming protest voters doesn’t mean I’m not blaming Biden. His hands are in no way clean here and his handling of the situation in the Middle East has been horrendous.

All that being said though, I choose realism over idealism. We have a FPTP electoral system in the US. This inevitably results in a binary choice. Come Election Day, every voter is either choosing to enable Biden’s neoliberalism or Trump’s fascism. It is that simple.

I’m making the choice to knowingly be a neoliberal enabler even if I would prefer something else. The reason being is that any other choice makes me a fascist enabler, same for 100% of protest voters whether or not they choose to bury their heads in the sand about it. As such, I’m entitled to think that they are in fact fucking morons, and plenty of people agree with me.

that’s why i expect unions drives to mostly fail; we’re all susceptible to propaganda and the people refusing to accept it are making it worse.

Yet in many countries Unions are a well established and crucial part of society. Also in the US they used to be more powerful.

And why do they put out so much propaganda against Unions, Environmental protection, etc.? Because they are scared. They know the power people have, if they unite and demand change. We didn’t get womens voting and non segregated civil rights from people just voting and being pessimistic. Those were longer struggles, but they worked in the end by not relenting and gaining momentum, until their voices were heard.

Sick of all these posts throwing guilt on those people sick of an ongoing genocide. What y’all don’t realise is at this point where humanity seems.past saving to them, maybe those “people just want to watch the world burn”. And they are therefore OK with seeing someone as despicable as Trump win. Just saying that shaming won’t get you anywhere in that instance
