      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 care about genocide, which is why I’m rewarding the guy sidestepping congress to supply and fund genocide with my vote. More genocide, please!

                I’m not increasing shit. Biden is increasing the odds by seeing vast swatches of voters say “genocide is bad” and telling them to eat a dick.

                One day, you blue MAGA types will grow up and realize this whole “only WE can save America and if you don’t vote how we say its actually YOUR fault” shtick is just as fascist as the types you claim to be saving us from.

                Biden is working to remove red tape from stripping leftist orgs of nonprofit status, and to make ANY criticism of Israel legally antisemitic so they can strip any college that “allows” protests of funding and accreditation. Both moves are fascist as fuck, but y’all don’t actually mind fascism that benefits you - Thats why you all dedicate your time to attacking leftists, your politics and Republican politics are 95% the same. Same reason Biden will never find a “red line,” dems would rather a Republican win then move left even a pinch.

                  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?
