Why do you prefer being killed yourself and still watching genocide happen?
Because for me politics is about principles and voting for my own interests and the interests of the greater good. There are people who are running who represent those interests. The duopoly is all about scaring people into voting for one of them, and I'm not going to respond to scare tactics.
Democracy is also about accepting multiple viewpoints and arguing your own. I won't be intimidated by this kind of thing.
Fam, Im not trying to intimidate you into shit. I'm scared shitless because you're willing to toss entire demographics under the bus for people halfway across the world that probably don't even like you. Im sympathetic to wanting to be principled, but enabling another genocide for the sake of that moral stance isnt worth it. The duopoly doesnt exist because people have no valuea, it exists because aby FTTP system will always produce a duipoly. Even if you want to change that, it'll have to be done through one of the major parties
This narrative that it ends with Palestinians is insane to me. Democrats are by and large openly supportive of this genocide, and its not going to end there. They're cowtowing to the rights hatred of Muslims now, anyone who thinks they won't move onto trans folk next chasing Republican voters because they keep telling the left to eat shit is willfully blind.
