    Trump IS the BURN ALL PALESTINIANS AND TURN GAZA INTO YHE VEGAS OF THE MIDDLE EAST candidate. And that was somehow better. But yeah you’re right. We should capitulate the entire country and everything else because of that right. Fuck it, if we can’t have perfection let’s just burn it all down.

      From the POV of someone who just wants the Genocide to stop, “Burning all Palestinians and tuning Gaza into New Vegas” and “Burning all Palestinians and tuning Gaza into vacation homes for rich Israelis” is functionally equivalent.

      That was by no means the only issue I based my vote on, but I also don’t think it’s unreasonable for someone to conclude that voting for the lesser of two evils is still voting for evil

        Well one of those evils is going to control you and everyone else one way or another so yes it is unreasonable to not vote for damage mitigation.

          Hence why I said that wasn’t the only factor in determining my vote.

          The question is though, where will it end? I’m 51 years old and ever since I have been able to vote the choices have been between a shit bag, and an even worse shit bag.

          At some point we have to put pressure on the DNC to put up someone who is actually woth voting for, and if they know we will always vote for the lesser evil, what incentive do they have to change their strategy?

          Harris was already a Republican in all but name and she only looked good compared to Hitler 2.0, if this trend continues the only “choice” will be between a far right fascist, and an extremely far right fascist.

      Harris could have capitalized on no genocide. You cant run on "genocide, but at least we’ll pretend to oppose it:, thats not how humans work.

        That’s exactly how the world works. Everyone trying to act like it’s not is simply ignoring reality.
