    I don’t need Hexbear users. Watching Biden tell Israel they need to do a better job of protecting civilians after yet another Isreali precision strike on a civilian aid convoy does it just fine.

    You cannot support a genocide and get my vote.

      These kinds of comments annoy me so much, not because you don’t want to support genocide, I don’t want either but because the “you can’t get my vote”, politics are a game of lesser evil, you literally can’t get someone who will be perfect in every aspect of your and everyone’s opinions, when you don’t vote you literally just give up your future to chance, what happens when didn’t vote gets the most votes since nobody was good enough in so many people’s opinion? Well the next guy will get into power just because he was second because he knows how to do propaganda to get other people to vote him, and trust me, just getting someone assigned as a president just because you didn’t give a crap is the most shitty thing that can happen, especially in a country where the president has so much power like the US

        Politics is not a game of lesser evils. Oligarchies are. I’m perfectly willing to vote for someone who doesn’t share all of my policy preferences. I’m not willing to vote for genocide.

      “Vote for the lesser of two evils? Bah! I won’t vote at all!*”

      *and help the fascist who is super pro-genocide get into office. This will definitely help the Palestinians and as a Trump presidency helps the Israelis rain firey death upon them, they will die proud that I stood resolute in my convictions. Their deaths will be worth it!

          That’s cute buddy.

          Let’s see how long you last in the streets with GOP enabled cops and Christo-fascists.

          Those who speak of revolution never think of ending up as dead, do they?

          How very noble.

          Enjoy the streets while the rest of society cleans up the mess you neglected 🤷

      Let’s say there’s a trolley that’s on a track going to hit millions of people. You’re standing next to a lever and can make it change tracks where it’ll only kill thousands. Do you pull the lever?

      This is your choice. Inaction is still a choice. You have the ability to participate in something shitty that can make things less shitty than they would be. You also have the choice to stand by and watch as millions die because you wanted to play moral high ground. You will have made a choice and their deaths will be on you. You should think about them when you go to sleep and how you failed them. They’ll be dead because you couldn’t hold your nose and pull the lever.

      You’ll be participating in genocide no matter what, only it will be much worse than it could have been because of you.
