Supporting the lesser evil is damage control. Yes, Harris is far from great, but Trump is far worse.

Was supporting genocide “damage control?”

Here's the question I asked.

[–] Mr_Fish@lemmy.world -1 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

That's the question I answered.

Which would you rather support?

  • Genocide
  • Genocide + fascism + other bad shit (probably including genocide 2)

Pick one or give an alternative and a good reason that it will have some effect.

The lesser evil in this situation is genocide without all the other shit, and supporting that is therefore damage control

When a non-evil person reaches the conclusion that a government is unavoidably committing genocide, there next thought is "how can we bring about the end of this government?", not "how can I maintain the good times for me personally?". But Democrats are callous psychopaths.

Also, it's already fascism you ghoul.

Sorry, I thought I made it clear. What Biden did when he supported genocide for you is not "damage control" even though you love him for it.

[–] Mr_Fish@lemmy.world 0 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

A. Please tell me exactly where I said Biden was anything more than a mildly less shit alternative to Trump. And please tell me where I was saying support the genocide, rather than support one of the people who supports the genocide.

B. I have not been talking about what Biden should have done. I have only been talking about what voters should have done.

Welp, you just saw that "damage control" has a limit. People will stay home if they see insufficient difference between the two pro-genocide parties.
