Voting for literally anyone enabling genocide is defending genocide

[–] TranscendentalEmpire@lemm.ee -2 points 15 hours ago

Ahh yes, engaging in harm reduction is the exact same as voting for genocide. I'm glad nuance is still alive and well in 2024.

"I don't like genocide, so I'm going to enable the president who enabled the genocide in the first place, and has promised to make it even worse."

You guys know the only reason Benny was confident enough to begin the ethnic cleansing was because Trump ended the nuclear agreement with Iran? And that the real goal of the Israeli state is to rope America into an all out war with Iran.

US foreign diplomacy is usually unanimously terrible, but the one issue they've actually differentiated with in the last few decades has been Iran.

Do you guys think it can't get worse for the Arab world, or are you too busy virtue signaling to engage in meaningful harm reduction?

I mean, joe bided and Harris are soulless liberal ghouls, but they aren't openly fascist. It's like I'm talking to people in the Weimar Republic abstaining from voting because of the Namibian genocide, and then having them say Bruning is the same as Hitler.

It's perfectly fine to condemn them for the genocide that's currently happening, but falsely equivocating them as exactly the same does nothing but take away options from the people who are actually in harms way.

Okay. Those who effectively voted for the party who wants more genocide are explicitly supporting AND desiring genocide to happen then.

[–] OprahsedCreature@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah I get the sense that you have a very loose definition of the term "effectively"

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world -2 points 10 hours ago

Until a third party has any chance of winning whatsoever, voting third party helps the candidate you're least aligned with. I have a feeling that you want to deny that basic truth.
