    So on principle you want republicans to win and cause more deaths in Gaza, because democrats aren’t perfect. That’s fine, but don’t say you’re against genicide and then vote for more genocide. Take responsibility for all the deaths you cause.

      Uhh…sorry, what? I don’t want the republicans to win, I want the democrats to change (and then win). They can just do that. That’s on them. I think I’ve been pretty goddamn clear about that.

      The democrats are moral agents. We’re not choosing between an earthquake and a wildfire here. You’re acting as though there’s no way the democrats could ever do anything but fund a genocide. As if there’s simply no other thing they could possibly do.

      It’s not that they’re not perfect, it’s because they’re fucking evil and actively support a genocide.

      “Not perfect” jesus christ.

      I’m not killing anybody, and I’m not going to kill people indirectly by voting for a party that’s perfectly happy to go conduct a genocide. I’m not making myself complicit in that, thanks. If you would have been happy voting for continuing US support for genocide in palestine because you thought it’d be a little better for us back home, that’s your business. But don’t tell me I’m causing death by refusing to support genocide in palestine. The democrats could stop.
