Coming here to argue about voting will result in a ban.

Honestly is so absurd to even have the "need" to do that. Is like saying, vote X because Y don't even consider you an human. So yeah I'll vote democrats and kick the ball. No mater how many times i will end up with the ass on the ground, i will not stop kicking.

Avoiding the abuse by not participating causes more suffering. Your logic does not carry.

Pray tell what are you avoiding? The genocide is already happening. The cop cities are being built. The concentration for migrants camps stayed open. The carbon is still being burned. The environment is still burning. Suffering is happening and your vote (if Harris wins) did not avert it.

Also get your head out of your ass. I can't participate in your Hitlerite election. But PLEASE, by ALL MEANS, vote for for 99% Hitler. Be my utmost guest. I absolutely won't stop you, but I also won't let you forget what you're choosing.

Lmao you sit in a bubble you create with your own rage in paranoia. To bounce it back at you, "by all means" do nothing by measure of strategy or reason. By shaking your fist at fellow Americans you are certainly solving genocide. Congratulations, you won. No more genocide because you frothed at the mouth with such zeal that you get an aneurysm by 40.

  1. I am not American. I can't participate in your Hitlerite election. I am not your "fellow" American.
  2. I do real shit. I organize with real people. I have affected the world in a real small, albeit measurable, way.
  3. I've actually been in pro-Palestinian protests. I can say I have stood against genocide.
  4. You have no choice but to vote for genocide. Call it harm reduction, justify it however you want. You are voting for genocide. You could hide your vote (it's a secret ballot after all) and rest in your comfort and shame, OR you could defend the party of genocide amidst a genocide and defend the program of your candidate, as you are doing. You have made your choice. You could have shut up and not said anything, vote Harris and stayed silent. No, you made conscious choice to defend your choice and defend her program. That's just shameless.

You have such a toxic view of the world. I hope things get better for you.

Opposing genocide is toxic? I see what makes you cheer and it sickens me to the core.
