Y'all should dread voting for Biden. You should be weeping as you cast your vote. Don't you see the tragedy in all of this? You have no choice but to vote for genocide, for some of you, it's your own genocide you're voting for.

In fiction, when no choice is given but the tragic choice, heroes choose the tragic choice and face all the grief and regret that comes with it. Reality is stranger than fiction. When y'all are faced with no choice but tragedy, you beat your drums in happy anticipation of your own belated doom. This is what sickens me about you sick Yanks. You have no sense of the tragedy you face before you. It is said a vote is not a wedding vow; they are correct: it is worse, for it means inevitable murder down the line. Biden will kill Palestinians, Filipinos, Black folk, immigrants, and Congolese, and you cheer on their genocide.

Vote, for sure, go ahead, vote the lesser evil. But you have to be cognizant of the tragedy of it all. You must feel our grief.

But you won't. You'll probably cheer my death as well.

I'm really tired of the "voting for genocide" rhetoric. It's Biden or Trump, and Netanyahu wants Trump. I want Biden to do better with Israel, but Trump would do worse. If you don't support Biden, you're supporting Trump. Trump will kill all the people you listed and more, and will use his power to enrich himself and his friends while tearing apart our nation again.

You're part of the problem. I said recognize the tragedy of your vote and you say you don't care about Biden supporting genocide. You prefer to live in fantasy land. People are dying as a result of Biden and will die as a result of your vote.

The only tragedy here is that you think anyone is fooled about your agenda.

[–] mambabasa@slrpnk.net -5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

You're a disgusting human being and an imperialist scum. You don't care about what your awful government does across the world at all.

Hey, I'm just trying to stop people like you getting Trump elected. If you don't think he'd be worse for you, you're probably part of the oligarchy. Or you're a moron. Either way.

There is no difference to me if Trump or Biden gets elected. No matter who wins, you genocidaires will continue to plunder my country. You refuse to recognize the tragedy in that.

Who do you think will speak out for you when fascism will come for you if you refuse to speak out or hold any minimum accountability for those in power? There will be none left to speak for you.

Either that's true, and you're an idiot, or you're lying and you're a fascist enabler.

You're the fascist enabler for enabling genocide you genocidaire imperialist idiot. Trump or Biden, the US will march its lapdogs in my country's government into a war we don't want. Our people will die regardless. At least under Biden YOU won't be the immediate target of genocide. And that's all you fucking idiots care about isn't it. You don't see how Biden's genocide elsewhere in the world is marching genocide to your own homes in the future.

You can call me what you like, but you've revealed your agenda. You are trying to help Trump win by creating a false equivalence and discouraging reasonable people from voting.

Why would I want Trump to win, dumbass??? What benefit would it be to me? I'm not discouraging you to vote. I clearly said recognize the tragedy of your vote. Reading comprehension of Americans these days, tells me a lot of the Obama era policies on education.

Your motives don't interest me, but your goals are revealed by your actions. You suck at hiding your intentions. Pretending Biden and Trump are the same is not fooling anyone.

And you're just an idiot with no reading comprehension, a running dog who'd cheer for any and all genocide their master calls you to cheer. Go on cheer a genocide elsewhere you creep.
