      People protesting aren’t voting for Biden, the ones who are are denouncing the protests while doing pearl clutching over property damage.

        I’d be surprised if opponents of genocide would vote Republican instead, given how some GOP reps seem to be opposing even the half-measure of delaying arms shipments.

        A two party state where you choose between “fucked up” and “less fucked up, but constantly ceding ground” just does a poor job of accurately representing the opinions of people favouring actual progress, so they’re doing what they can to pull the Overton Window their way.

          This is what perpetuates the insanity in US. When your choices are Hitler and 99% Hitler, then the vote is meaningless. A lot of people will just choose not to participate in this circus.

                  If you support Biden then you are supporting a genocide that US is currently involved in. Period. The fact that you can’t even admit this just further underscores your utter lack of morality and intellectual honesty.

                    Ok, but if I don’t support Biden, the other guy is going to continue doing the genocide. Maybe even at a worse pace. So what’s the answer than? Voting on every other decision

                    Genocide sucks, but America dug this hole for generations. It’s not all on Biden

            If your choices are Hitler and 99% Hitler, you still do what you can to stop 100% Hitler. Less bad is less bad.

            Nobody cares about your smug sense of superiority when 100% Hitler is in charge and you proudly announce “I did nothing to stop this, other than try to encourage other people to also do nothing to stop this.”

            This is pretty rich coming from a guy who unironically defends Stalin and Mao for “doing what needed to be done.”

            Edit - I mean there you have it. If I explain the meme I’ll get banned but I think any reasonable person can appreciate the whiplash.

        denouncing the protests while doing pearl clutching over property damage.

        Sounds like Republicans to me.
