Given a choice between a lesser and a greater evil, you abstained. The welfare of Palestinians is not your priority.

This type of false rhetoric to support genocide makes me feel even more confident in my decision. Want my vote? Oppose Israel. It’s as simple as that. People who commit genocide have no moral high ground.

  Sometimes your vote isn't to support something, it's to limit the damage.

    My vote for no one is to limit damage. It’s critical that we end Zionism and not supporting Zionists is the best way to do that. It’s incredible the lengths democrats will go to defend Israel. It’s time to move on (and start winning elections).

  It’s not about moral fucking high ground, it’s about actual death and dismemberment that is actually happening that wouldn’t have. I can vote for the nazi that kills 100 jews, the nazi that kills 500, or vote for nobody; show me any alternative or else i gotta get in the booth for the first guy. Anything else is pretentious moralizing that costs lives.

    Voting for Nazis makes you a Nazi.

      To paraphrase you, I'm sure the tens of thousands of extra Palestinians killed by "your team" would beg to differ.

        Biden was killing Palestinians just as fast as Trump. Neither of which are my team.

      In this hypothetical “becoming a nazi” means I kill 400 less jews. Pretty shit nazi

        Except that's not what's happened. Biden and Trump are killing an equal number of Palestinians. Stop asking people to support your genocidal candidates and start demanding better from your party or be relegated to the dustbin of history.

        The race was between Kamala and Trump. If you legitimately believe Kamala winning would have made zero difference to the wellbeing of any Palestinians, I don’t know what to say. >start demanding better from your party or be relegated to the dustbin of history. Stop building strawmen and explain what I could have done on election day for the couple hours spent on voting that would have been more useful for the Palestinians than voting for Kamala, and explain why.

        I know that Harris winning wouldn't have made any difference than Trump because she literally stated that she would not deviate from Biden's policy (which was as bad as Trump, if not worse). The best thing you could have done on election day is not vote and encourage everyone you know to not vote. Our system is 100% corrupt and invalid, stop propping it up. I will vote when there is an anti-Zionist running, until then I will abstain and encourage everyone to do the same. Very curious that going against Israel is beyond the pale for Democrats despite being a wildly popular position.
