    No-genocide hasn’t been on the ballot for many, many years. Turns out, the voters who feel strongly enough about this particular genocide for it to affect their vote are a fairly small fraction with characteristically low turnout anyway. Sadly, not really worth actively pursuing as a candidate.

    Your choices are between measured diplomatic tolerance of genocide, and enthusiastic acceleration of genocide (with a couple other genocides thrown in too). It’s a close race. No genocide doesn’t have a chance, and voting no genocide increases the odds of enthusiastic acceleration of genocide.

      No-genocide is on the ballot right now and it’s being made loud and clear, but biden is choosing to ignore it and people like you are trying to shame the people who care about genocide into not caring about it with hogwash like this:

      measured diplomatic tolerance of genocide

      That is a ridiculous string of words.

        I care about genocide, which is why I’m trying to minimize it by preventing Trump from getting into office. Y’know, they guy who thinks Israel should’ve gotten it over with already? People like you are trying to shame voters into letting the guy who wants more genocide into office. Congratulations, you’re voting for more-genocide.

            I disapprove of genocides, which is why I’m increasing the odds of the guy who wants more genocides and bigger

                I’m not increasing shit.

                Bullshit. The choice is shitty, but it’s your choice to make.

                Answer my original question:

                You’re at a work retreat for a month, and management is taking a vote on what to get for food. Word is that everyone else is about 50/50 split between BBQ ribs, and pepperoni pizza. You’re a vegetarian, what you’d really like is Indian food, but the only ones interested are a handful of other vegetarians. If ribs win, you starve, if pizza wins, you spend the next month picking off pepperonis. How do you vote?

                  The sheer amount of privilege to make the equivalent of genocide in your metaphor pepperoni on a pizza you have to pick off.

                  Jesus f****** Christ.

                  There are tens of thousands of dead children dude. You call that picking pepperoni off of f****** pizza?

                  You think there’s only a handful of people in this country who care about genocide? Or I’m sorry, apparently caring about genocide means you’re a vegan? What are you going to tell me next that killing Indian children is cool because of bacon?

                  Yikes

                    Do… you understand how metaphors work?

                    It’s not saying pepperoni pizza and genocide the same, it’s saying the underlying mechanics between being forced to chose from 2 choices, one clearly more shitty than the other are similar. It’s using a simpler, easy to understand framing device to show the similarity of the thought process.

                    You’re either a moron or a disingenuous piece of shit.
