Voting for Biden should be a tragic act (self.notvoting)

Y'all should dread voting for Biden. You should be weeping as you cast your vote. Don't you see the tragedy in all of this? You have no choice but to vote for genocide, for some of you, it's your own genocide you're voting for.

In fiction, when no choice is given but the tragic choice, heroes choose the tragic choice and face all the grief and regret that comes with it. Reality is stranger than fiction. When y'all are faced with no choice but tragedy, you beat your drums in happy anticipation of your own belated doom. This is what sickens me about you sick Yanks. You have no sense of the tragedy you face before you. It is said a vote is not a wedding vow; they are correct: it is worse, for it means inevitable murder down the line. Biden will kill Palestinians, Filipinos, Black folk, immigrants, and Congolese, and you cheer on their genocide.

Vote, for sure, go ahead, vote the lesser evil. But you have to be cognizant of the tragedy of it all. You must feel our grief.

But you won't. You'll probably cheer my death as well.

It's your racist genocidaire country that plunders mine. I'm not even white, stop with this reverse racism bullshit. Racism is an entire system of privilege, not a call out. Literally, no matter who wins, Wall Street will continue to plunder my country. All I ask is that you recognize the tragedy in that, but all you entitled freaks do is call for us exploited to speak politely. Excuse me, politeness is the least of my concerns. Your country is promoting genocide and plunder across the world. I could care less if I'm polite.

This is the absurdity facing politics today: to recognize inhumanity, you get called out for being a racist.

First of all, you do not need to be white to be racist. That is as dumb as pretending Jews can not be racist.

Also you do not want any sympathy. You just flat out refuse any Americans ability to be able to think for themself and see the truth. As you do in the last paragraph of the OP.

First of all, racism comes from a system of privilege. Jews can only be racist insofar as they have assimilated themselves into a system of privilege, whether whiteness or Zionism. What privilege do I have? The privilege of being bombed by your great leader? Idiotic.

Second, y'all refuse to condemn Biden. He's sending weapons for commiting a genocide and all you can say is that “he's not doing enough” or “Trump is worse.” THAT'S THE POINT. You have no choice but to choose genocide but you beat drums for genocide anyway as if you all want it. There's no “oh shit I don't want to vote for genocide.” No, it's all imperialism. No sense of tragedy at all.
