Calling you a "single issue voter" when that issue is genocide.

Calling third party voters "single issue voters" when their main objection to third party voting is that they are extremely unlikely to win. "Likelihood to win" isn't an issue I care about but that seems to be the biggest issue to them. A singular issue, one might say.

Honestly that's just made me even more spiteful. Like, I don't think these crackers understand that thanks to the actions of the party they defend, and their own rabid frothing, I will never vote for another democrat again. These peckerwoods have done a bang-up job with tying the word "Democrat" to the word "Genocide" in my head.

You're being unrealistic. It's pragmatic to vote for genocide.

I think I honestly get more mad at liberals who admit it's a genocide but still vote Democrat anyways. The frothing conservatives and die-hard Zionists at least believe what they're doing is right. But the liberals and fake leftists who say "well genocide is bad, but you can't do anything to stop it. Trump will be worse!" Ignoring what little conscience they have left.

Ignoring what little conscience they have left.

Frankly, I don't think they even had one anymore. Like, if literal genocide is the lesser evil to you, your conscience went offline way before the exit ramp you're on now from where I sit.
