So, unlike when I voted for Genocide Joe after being duped into the "lesser evil" argument in 2016, the blood of this administration is not on my hands except insofar as I benefit from imperialism even if I try not to. I did not willingly sign my name off as an endorsement of this genocidal administration, unlike the previous genocidal administration. I will never make the mistake of voting Democrat ever again (and was never going to vote Republican to begin with). Maybe if they send Biden, Kamala, Trump, and Kushner all to the Hague and apply economic and military pressure to force the collapse of the illegal occupation of Palestine, you can come back and ask me again.

How do I win? What "my" candidate? I already have universal Healthcare, free childcare, my engineering degree costed about 4k in fees and my kids will have to pay even less. I have public transport, bike lanes, a high speed train network and even a monorail. A whole year of paid maternity leave, unlimited sick days, 30 days of PTO a year on top of 11 public holidays, workers unions, rent protections... I sure letting Republicans win out of spite will get you all those things in the next 3 years. That, or a few trillions more of debt to genocide not only Gaza, but now also Iran and Lebanon.

[–] 7101334@lemmy.world -1 points 3 months ago* (1 child) I didn't vote for Trump. (Unless you want to do the "you did by not voting for Kamala", in which case I also voted for Holocaust Harris by not voting for Trump, so stop complaining.) So, unlike when I voted for Genocide Joe after being duped into the "lesser evil" argument in 2016, the blood of this administration is not on my hands except insofar as I benefit from imperialism even if I try not to. I did not willingly sign my name off as an endorsement of this genocidal administration, unlike the previous genocidal administration. I will never make the mistake of voting Democrat ever again (and was never going to vote Republican to begin with). Maybe if they send Biden, Kamala, Trump, and Kushner all to the Hague and apply economic and military pressure to force the collapse of the illegal occupation of Palestine, you can come back and ask me again. I won't be holding my breath for that. Where? Supporting genocide under the patently ridiculous veil of "at least it's kinder genocide than the other guy" permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Tja@programming.dev 1 point 3 months ago (1 child) It's 100% on your hands, voting third party makes you complicit in everything the president does, because you knew what the outcome would be. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] 7101334@lemmy.world 1 point 3 months ago* (1 child) I really don't care what your Blue MAGA "a kinder genocide" perspective on my refusal to endorse your preferred genocidaire is. You want to win. You accuse the left of causing your candidate to lose. You know what that's called? Leverage. Time to start listening to our demands if you want to stop losing, because as you can see, we currently do not care whether you or the other genocidaires win.
