Protesters calling for a cease-fire in Gaza interrupted President Biden’s speech in South Carolina on Monday, the latest example of divisions among Democrats over the fighting in the Middle East. B…
Then the Democrats will have no choice but to actually change something to get elected. Rewarding bad (see “Nazi style genocide”) behavior is what actually puts you farther away from ranked choice.
Why is everyone always pretending that every American election will be the last one ever and the entire world is going to end if their party doesn’t win.

They literally (not figuratively, literally) said this shit in 2016. It was all Joever back then. But lo and behold, even the Republicans didn’t get in line for their god emperor Trump to hand over all power. On the 6th of January all Trump had was a bunch of Facebook looneys backing him up.
Which functionally helps Republicans get elected. You solution is to put Republicans in power hoping they destroy enough that we have to start from scratch.
What we should be doing is primarying the fuck out of every conservative Democrat in the caucus and pushing the party left while maintaining a firewall against the GOP. Not sacrificing minorities, women, immigrants, and poor people to GOP rule to prove a point.
If you can vote for two Nazis or someone else that isn’t a Nazi you don’t vote for the Nazi you like most because then he will win. You vote for the person that isn’t a Nazi.
And if you do this knowing your choice to vote for the person who never had a chance to win but isn’t a Nazi results in the worse of the two Nazis getting elected, I think you’ve made a poor moral judgement AND a poor strategic one. You’re helping the people who most want to harm you and allowing a significant amount of pain and suffering to happen to innocent people.
You can call joe biden a genocidal monster all you want but at the end of the day, Trump is going to hurt a lot of people that Joe Biden won’t. He’s going to cause more damage to the country than Joe Biden ever could and it won’t be in ways that promote the positive change we both want. This is the literal definition of cutting off your nose to spite your face.
And more excuses to advocate for genocide. Even the Nazi’s weren’t this much in denial. A vote for Biden or Trump directly condones and support genocide. It is a direct action that shows that you voluntarily condone and support it. If you do not vote, or vote third party, you are not complicit in genocide. But if you vote for Biden or Trump then you do.
If you do not vote, or vote third party, you are not complicit in genocide
Says who? You may be able to put whatever you want on the ballot but you statistically have 2 options in a ftpt system. You can only influence the vote in one of two directions, that’s it. I don’t know why you won’t recognize that fact. You’re mathematically assisting the Republican party get elected (the far greater threat of genocide).
You’re significantly more complicit for the damage the GOP does. Every extra bomb that trump drops on Gaza is on you. Direct or indirect action doesn’t matter, what matters is the results.
If you can explain to me how voting third party prevents the GOP from gaining power OR how Donald Trump would be an improvement over Joe Biden I’m all ears, but besides that I think we’re done here. I just hope others can understand how backwards this idea is.
You talk like someone unaware of any elections since Biden.
The Democrats have lost plenty of presidential and Congressional elections. What have they changed? When have they had a “come to Jesus moment?” I can’t think of any example since the southern strategy mixed up the parties. A little shift here or there but at their core they are rich, white neo-liberals.
Electing Republicans puts us even FARTHER away from ranked choice, how is that a better solution?

Not really a mystery.
They literally (not figuratively, literally) said this shit in 2016. It was all Joever back then. But lo and behold, even the Republicans didn’t get in line for their god emperor Trump to hand over all power. On the 6th of January all Trump had was a bunch of Facebook looneys backing him up.
July 19, 2016 If Trump wins, a coup isn’t impossible here in the U.S.
So the Republican party doesn’t endorse “Nazi style genocide”? Because if the Democrats do, they sure as fuck do. Why reward the Republicans?
No stop voting for either of them.

Doesn’t matter they both commit genocide.

I can’t rationalize voting for genocide. I haven’t voted for a Democrat for president since 2008.
Thats fine, you’ve supported plenty of horrible shit then. Go ahead and take a break this round and just passively endorse it.
