Just putting this up to contrast with this post and because Eli Valley is a great political cartoonist.

      Pretty fucking depressing that the anti fascism vote is also the keep supporting genocide vote. It’s a trolley problem but one track only has foreigners tied to it so we’re supposed to cheer for that option I guess

          One track has Palestinians tied to it, the other track has more Palestinians tied to it, Ukrainians and probably others tied to it, AND American minorities by the bushel.

          Yeah wooooo go Biden so proud 🤣 vote democrat, we will probably be responsible for less death and suffering. New slogan right there. “SLIGHTLY! LESS! DEATH!”

          It’s a complicated situation though golly who knows how to fix this problem

          We have to find the choice that is most achievable and least damaging.

          The smart people know that. Only problem is that not all of the people are smart and they all have the same voting power

              I’m not saying it’s a bad decision given the situation. I’m saying the situation is dog shit and perhaps will come back to bite us in the ass when “slightly less death!” isn’t the biggest motivation to get out and vote.

              I would be more sympathetic to your point if Biden couldn’t stop supporting this immediately with relative ease. Most voters are against what Israel is doing and especially democrats. It’s not like it would hurt his election chances. It’s not like the protests this has inspired are a good look anyway.

          It’s the same track. You’ve worked very hard to eliminate any possible opposition to American fascism, and you’ve succeeded.

          If you’re looking for a point in history when there wasn’t someone getting hit by the trolley, you’ll be looking a while.

          “It’s the way we’ve always done it” isn’t a justification for continuing.

              It doesn’t have to be “everyone wins and no one gets hurt” in order to be better than supporting genocide.

              You’re seriously casting “stop supporting genocide” as a pipe dream for people with unrealistic expectations.

        That’s because it’s not an anti fascism vote. It’s a “fascism, just not against me” vote

          Sorry, I forgot that it’s not fascism until it’s white people being exterminated, and it’s not non- democracy until it’s liberals being repressed.

              I don’t really see you as being in a position to take a high ground on the basis of usernames.

                When dumb assholes continue to say dumb shit, and their username happens to imply that their brain is somewhere other than in their cranium; it simply checks out. There’s no high ground. My username could be “shit-shingles” and it wouldn’t be implicit that my brain is elsewhere… “brain_in_a_box” on the other hand…

                  “Standards for thee and none for me” is all I’m taking from this.

                  Have a great day.

                    Fair enough. My screen name is that of a fictional character I’m working on.

                    Have a good one.
