    So the solution to a politician who is “condoning genocide” is to instead elect a person who was actively campaigning on genociding harder, seizing the land, and turning Gaza into beachfront property for the rich?

      The solution is not to platform fascists. Nobody wins in a fash vs fash election.

      This is kinda basic to any reasonable person but something that the dems choose not to understand (because they support fascism).

      In typical fashion Democrats laid the groundwork for Trump to seize land and turn Gaza into beach front property. If Democrats had a spine and demanded their party primary a senile pedo that’s funding and weaponizing a genocide there’s a good chance trump wouldn’t have won.

        So again, your solution was to … elect a different senile pedo that was campaigning on funding and weaponizing a genocide?

        You don’t stop shooting yourself in the foot by aiming the gun at your own head instead.

          I didnt elect him, I don’t vote for right wing reactionaries. I’m socialist, I only vote for socialists

            As the song from Rush goes, if you choose not to decide you still have made a choice.

            You chose to sit this out, knowing it was a de-facto vote for Trump. Take responsibility for your own choices instead of blaming others.

              I made a choice that I still stand behind, and it doesn’t include support for those that caused the problems we have. Liberals refusing to primary a candidate that had no chance of winning, then supporting a woman that was barely to the left of trump, that polling NEVER showed she had a chance, is what got trump elected.

              Don’t try and lecture others about responsibility when liberals failed to hold their own to the same standard.
