    There’s no vote against genocide. You vote for genocide flavor A, genocide flavor B, or you say you don’t care which flavor of genocide you get.

    Arguing against voting tor genocide flavor A means you support genocide flavor B, whether you want to admit it or not.

      You’re trying to talk your way out of hell. There is NO reason that can make me vote yes to genocide. What about that can you not get?

        We are in hell, and there is no escape. You can vote to make a slight improvement, or not. Voting for a third party for president in this election cycle is nothing.

          No there is a third option you are just deluding yourself into it not existing.

          Just like MAGA Republicans saying they can only vote for Trump.

                Remind me, who ended up winning in 2016? It was the 3rd party candidate you backed instead right? And their presidency went swimmingly?

                She’s eating babies and you can’t tell me different!

                Also /s if it isn’t obviously.

                No, have you heard about project 2025?

                Enlighten yourself:

                https://www.project2025.org/

                Search through that, if you still want to not vote after reading that, at least you’re making an informed choice.

                Though, you’re complicit in genocide if you don’t vote. Trump will bulldoze Gaza at the earliest convenience.

            What’s the third option? We established that it’s not abstaining from voting, or voting 3rd party – so please, enlighten us.

              The Greens and Cornell West are good choices. I like West more but it’s looking like the Greens are the ones that will be centered around so let’s go for Jill Stein.

                  When did we establish that?

                  I established that voting for Genocide makes you complicit in Genocide.

                    It’s simple logic, but you can find it spelled out plenty of times in the thread above.

                    Jill Stein cannot with this election, you’re deluding yourself into thinking she can.

                    Just like MAGA Republicans saying Trump won the last election.

        No, what’s actually happening here is that you are just pretending that a third party candidate has a chance of winning in a FPTP voting system.

        Just admit that you’ve been campaigning for Trump by trying to get people to not vote for Biden. It’s obvious to anyone paying attention.

            You’re just arguing in bad faith. Where did I ever say I justify genocide?

            You know damn well I, or any other sane person, don’t condone the Gaza genocide. That is just your talking point.

            You know the genocide will be worse under Trump but you keep trying to get Trump elected anyway. That shows your real intentions.
