Genocide will happen no matter how you vote. One option will lead to more genocide than the other. The rest of the options are not options under our current political system. If you do not vote for less genocide, including by not voting at all, you are voting for genocide.
If choosing the lesser evil still ends up at the most evil act someone can commit, was it ever really lesser evil? Or just slower, easier to ignore evil?
There is no "most evil act". There is ALWAYS a way to make it worse. We need to take every possible step to make things better. And "better" doesn't always mean "good". Sometimes it just means "slightly slower slide to horrifically bad.
Genocide is the Crime of Crimes.
Biden is only choosing to commit genocide because he thinks he can win without my vote because of people like you enabling him, promising to vote blue no matter who. It is your fault that the uncommitted campaign and campus occupations and our voices have failed to push Biden on this issue. I recently listened to Hind Rajab's call with The Palestinian Red Crescent Society again because of a new documentary on Al Jazeera ("The Night Won't End") and I want to fucking die. This is your fault. Own it.
Trump is also choosing genocide because he can hope for people like you not to vote against him.
There won't be any people in Gaza left to kill by 2025 if Biden doesn't stop the genocide.
That's your fault
I voted against him in the primaries and push for ranked choice voting. Unfortunately besides general unrest which will pressure biden but bolster Trump (who is NOW campaigning on crushing us for protesting the state of the war) we are acting too little too late. Maybe general unrest AFTER the election and if cooler heads don't prevail might actually help.
There is no "after the election" for the people in Gaza. If this war is ongoing by January they'll all be dead.
Biden is already crushing us for protesting the war! Trump is late to the party.
This is the part they don't understand. We're done with their shit.
