    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?

              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.

                  I’m neither but I’m pointing out that in your situation, the parallel of a pepperoni pizza to genocide isn’t the same because you can undo pepperoni pizza by taking the pepperonis off. Are you going to unmurder those children?

                  Tell me in your metaphor where you can pick off the f****** pepperoni tell me what the equivalent is you daft f****** fascist

                    The pig is dead both ways. Picking off the pepperonis doesn’t un-kill the pigs. Millions of pigs slaughtered every year, you don’t care about that though. Just like you don’t care about the Ukrainians who depend on our aid, or the millions of additional Palestinians who will die when we shift from lackluster Joe to Finish-the-Job Donald

                    Answer the question you child.
