that 'one thing' being a genocide
If voters aren't willing to withhold their vote over genocide, why would the Dems ever stop doing genocide?
I think it's less "read better" and you needing to think better.
Assuming liberals win this election with a candidate who has made her stance on this murky at best (and disgusting at worst), what incentives do liberal politicians have to not support genocide in the future?
ed. lmao banned quick, I had mentally psyched myself up for an argument here, what am I gonna do with all this nervous energy now
Struggle session post about whether letting spiders live in the corners of your house for the purpose of exterminating pests is ethical.
If I'm gonna do that, I feel I should work in the 'bigfoot is a spider' badpost we got today lol
It's almost like electoral politics in a capitalist society are, by deliberate design, going to have structural issues which cannot be solved through voting.
Also, who says "I don't like this candidate's stance on genocide" then picks the candidate with a nearly identical stance?
Precisely. I heard Trump is gonna arm Israel with even more bombs and is gonna send aircraft carriers to ensure the genocide continues unabated.
