At this point you're becoming walking textbook trolley problems.

Sometimes you have to choose the lesser evil, and you did good in the difference.

[not_rick@lemmy.world]

While I don’t disagree, I feel like we need to talk more about how disconnected the Democratic Party is from what their base actually wants. Them being diet republicans ain’t cutting it

[ohstopyellingatme@lemmy.world]

But you do realize that trump is much much much much worse, right? It’s not just about the genocide, you know.

[arbiter@lemmy.world]

No, they’d just quietly fund the Israeli plan for the same result.

[noneofurbusiness@fedia.io]

To some people the genocide overshadows anything else because... Y'know, it is/was a genocide. Telling those people that "it's not just about the genocide" is, frankly, barking up the wrong tree.

[ohstopyellingatme@lemmy.world]

“Yeah we got a genocide but at least we don’t have a genocide!”

True. But at the same time you're not going to get any of that by not voting and letting Republicans get elected. I mean get you butts out there and primary these centrist lead weights.

[papertowels@lemmy.one]

How about the start of two genocides?

[gsus4@mander.xyz]

Doesnt this boil down to the usual "the left falls in love, while the right falls in line"? hard to fall in love with genocide and lefties are renowed for not falling in line even against their best interests. Makes it hard to win as an incumbent, though, how did Obama win reelection, he wouldn't have been mistaken for a saint the second time round.

[baronvonj@lemmy.world]

primary these centrist lead weights.

This. Right. Here.

If only genocide was the only issue now.

[fallowseed@lemmy.world]

i don't think he's much much much much worse, that's too many muchs- maaaybe much much worse- and that's neither here or there.. genocide IS a reasonable red line and you can't gaslight me off my solid footing in that regard.

[fallowseed@lemmy.world]

and sometimes you have a conscience that doesn't allow you to rationalize away complicity in genocide

[fallowseed@lemmy.world]

it is safe because i didn't allow myself to reduce supporting genocide to a trolley problem.

[gsus4@mander.xyz]

You reduced multiple issues like fighting climate change or keeping civil rights to the one issue where you have no leverage. You're the one dumbing down political discourse, I just framed it in a way that captures hundreds of sterile debates.

[jewbacca117@lemmy.world]

Hey they would at least condemned Israel's actions

Excuse me while I go cry in the corner about how fucked we are

[fallowseed@lemmy.world]

and that's my prerogative as a voter. are you here to shame me some more? about the genocide i won't overlook to vote for kamala harris? the same kamala harris who reversed her position on fracking? who wanted to fund nato even harder? you're gonna tell me she represented climate change?? and bath-tub of collard green kamala harris is not doing a damn thing for civil rights, so where are you coming from with this?
