Makes sense why so many Germans supported the nazi party, there just wasn't any other choice.
Yeah. I really don't think that is it.
My point is that it doesn't matter who you vote for, whoever it is is going to support genocide. You can choose not to vote. You can vote for someone who has no chance. Or you can choose to select a candidate based on other things they have said or have done.
Deep deep cynicism.
This is what happens to Democrats. They're idealistic in their youth, but then become cynical and bitter as they see their candidates betray them one after the other.
Takes some pretty flexible morals to ignore a genocide and "focus on other things" instead.
It is easy, Gideon Levy explains how Israelis do it and I am starting to think it applies to liberals in the US as well. They simply don't see Palestinians as people.
Okay.
