I simply voted for the person opposed to genocide. This isn't actually a democracy, so it's not like my vote mattered anyways.

So instead of the most reasonable candidate that has a chance of winning, you voted for someone else who had no chance of winning?
Thanks for making everything worse.

I voted PSL. I'm in a state where it was completely inconsequential.

Single issue voters = duuuuuuuumb.

People who say "voting doesn't matter" = duuuuuuuuumb.

Genocide trumps all other "issues". If you are willing to sacrifice hundreds of thousands to millions of innocents to annihilation, your "stances" on every other issue are hollow rhetoric meant for your own advancement, and the difference of having you in power over anyone else is microscopic. Not understanding that genocide means a politician is pure evil is the fucking pinnacle of "dumb".

I am willing to sacrifice hundreds of thousands to save millions. You're willing to sacrifice millions to say you kept your hands clean. Don't act like you're the morally correct one.

I am not willing to sacrifice anyone. Were it not for people like you, no one would be sacrificed at all. You have no vision for a way out of perpetual war and subjugation, rather, you condemn the rest of us to it.

Were it not for people like me, Trump would still have been elected. Were it not for people like you, an alternative may have had a chance.

No, people like you willing to sacrifice others are those who voted for both Harris and for Trump.

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 hours ago

Do you genuinely believe the situation for Palestine is going to be equally bad under Trump as it would under Harris?

If you think the death of people matters then why wasn't the climate your big issue? That will definitely kill millions (predictions on current path are that it will kill or displace over a billion). Don't get all high and mighty about your issue when it's not even close to being the biggest one

You will find the same acquiescence to the fossil fuel industry across the aisle as well. In actions, not in speech.

How compelling.
