Imagine the mental gymnastics you have to go through to argue that not voting for a genocidal maniac is privilege. Basically what this person saying is that if you are Palestinian you should vote for and support the person who is actively enabling the genocide of your people because they are afraid of what Trump might do because they themselves might be affected by it. How is that not privilege?
The most effective way of achieving any meaningful change is protesting and holding politicians accountable no matter who is in power. But they're arguing for not doing that. To blindly accept and not protest or even criticize a person enabling genocide. Who cares what you vote for? A single vote doesn't mean shit but standing up and fighting against fascism and genocide is what matters. Not only are many of these liberals privileged they are fucking cowards too.
sweet mother of shit no one has ever said, can you actually address a real point anyone has made or are you only capable of debating strawmen. I've can't even fathom agreeing on 85% of things with someone who would run under a third ML party that's going to get 450 votes, let alone 100%. I'm willing to vote for someone who agrees with like, 40% of what I actually believe. Biden, on a good day? Represents maybe 2% of what I believe and actively opposes about 95% of what I believe. Man can't even be bothered to not send bombs to Israel that he knows damn well are going to be dropped on hospitals. I live in a state with universal mail in ballots. I get my ballot mailed to my doorstep. I don't need to put on pants to vote, and I'm not going to waste my time acting like somehow things would be totally different under either Red Trump or Blue Trump
Bernie was a compromise and they're the ones who wouldn't accept it. Always
Biden 100% conforms to their only real ideals of going to brunch, hating poors, and killing brown people
This is the most brutal condemnation of voting as political action I have ever encountered.
Basically how I put it to my folks (not America). "In a race between these two would you bother leaving the house to vote?"
In the coming sunday we have local elections in Poland. I briefly entertained the thought of putting on my pants and going to vote, but the local elections in Poland are designed to be much more corrupt than the national ones.
I hate how these smug ghouls are almost always trying to re-frame anti-Biden sentiment over a literal genocide as if it was just us making mountains out of nothing.
"This is just a small disagreement you have with his politics, you agree with him almost 100% of the time otherwise so you should just accept it and vote for him, don't let perfection be the enemy of the good."
Not even Lenin aligns 100% of my values, and he’s the leader who in all of world history I align closest with. That’s such a strange straw man they are making.
