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.
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.
