    So you do oppose genocide? I thought you wanted people to shut up about it until after the election? If genocide is so bad you should try protesting it instead of telling people to be quiet about it

      I am protesting it. I attended a rally last week, went to a meeting to schedule future actions yesterday, and have generally been very proactive about creating pressure on organisations to divest from Israel. I’ve been putting time and energy into actual solutions. You know what’s not an actual solution? Trying to make Trump lose by a narrower margin. There are no solutions in electoral politics, there is only choosing the lesser evil. Then you go out on the streets and you fight the lesser evil, and thank your lucky stars you don’t have to fight the greater evil.

        “Biden doesn’t want to do anything about gaza, but Trump wants to bomb the west bank too. That means I support less genocide and you support not doing anything to prevent more genocide.” no it just makes you a cunt who tells people to shut up and accept genocide. You can vote biden AND tell him to stop being complicit in genocide, your lack of imagination on that front doesn’t make me a trump supporter, no matter how desperately you want to believe leftists are just apathetically letting genocide. Where I come from we call that projection, it’s a universal trait of reactionaries who want to deflect from how fucked up their views are

        Why would you do that? I thought you wanted biden to win, why would you oppose Israeli genocide? You clearly want trump to win

        /s, I just realized you’re probably stupid enough to think I’m actually agreeing here cx

        You’re a lying piece of shit. Nobody believes for even a fraction of a second that you want anything less than Gaza wiped off the map. You don’t get to shit on people calling out biden for supporting genocide, then pretend you actually do call him out a lot xD you’re a lying prick, go fuck yourself

          You originally said ‘Biden is committing genocide,’ man.

          Israel is acting unilaterally, there are no US troops on the ground nor US planes in the sky.

          Biden is one of the people trying to get the situation under control. Someone else pointing out that trump says ‘finish the job’ is just adding context.

          Who would people choose, the guy who’s trying to do something or the one who wants more killing?

            Biden is literally sending money and weapons to Israel, while also sending aid. It’s hypocritical and dumb. You can’t do both and act like you’re doing the second one in good conscience.
