    Sounds like you don’t actually care about what happens and just want to feel self righteous and make some noise. So… the exact kind of person I had in mind making this.

    You couldn’t argue on the merits, so you went with, “Haha, sure, I’m doing bad things, but it won’t matter so why do you care?”

    Do you need me to spell it out for you to make it really obvious how dumb that argument is? Or were you just trying to be facetious?

      Not voting for a candidate who is tacitly supporting a genocide on that basis is not “doing bad things” no matter how much bad faith spin you try to add. The candidate has to earn the vote and that applies to non-voters too. Some people care about certain issues enough to abstain from voting on that basis and others vote strategically because its not a team sport. You just want validation for your own voting decision by implying those abstaining from voting are directly or indirectly responsible for your candidate’s opponent winning which they are not. If Harris wins or loses it will be based on her and her party’s policy and campaign decisions.

        Did typing that feel good? I mean, if you’re going to be playing ‘fuck around and find out’ with millions of lives, at least you should be getting something out of it, right?

            Yes, that was a great comeback. What would have been useful is a logical explanation of how your stance does anything to help Palestinians in the current political climate, but I guess that’s a little too much intellectual labor for you. Turns out, I actually want the same thing you do. Which you would know if you actually bothered to read half of my comments. I’m just not being an idiot about it and ignoring reality.

            If I didn’t actually want to help Palestinians, do you think I’d be sitting here giving folks advice on how to ACTUALLY lock up the government to force them to deal with the Pro-Palestine lobby? The next debt ceiling negotiation is in 1/2025. You know, that thing we do every two years that we use to determine FUNDING? For things like sending money to Israel?

            Just a couple of Pro-Palestinian congressmen in office, enough to keep the Democrats from obtaining outright majority (assuming they even win it back in the first place) could have been a game changer. But no, the few voices we had in congress lost their primaries.

            Tell me more about how you shouldn’t have to vote if you don’t want to.

            You’re doing great, with whatever the hell you’re doing. Keep up the good work.

        the candidate has to earn your vote.

        If “She’s not Trump” isn’t all you need to know about how you should act in this election, I already know everything I need to know about how much of an actual ally you are as opposed to a willing collaborator who just doesn’t want the stink of being an out fascist.

        The other side are fascists running on doing fascism.

        That is the entire discussion.

        If that is not enough for you then you’re just a fucking fascist, and you’ll be regarded as such when the revolution you probably cream your jorts fantasizing about leading starts among the people your self glorifying behavior actually endanger.
