    Because genocide support from the US under Trump is likely to be substantially worse than it is under a democrat government.

    Your metaphor makes no sense because you can both vote for a lesser evil and take action against genocide in lots of other ways (voting isn’t the only thing you can do)

        Lmao .world’s censorship is completely ridiculous.

        Can anyone explain what part of this, or her other comment that got removed, constitutes “misinformation?”

      I agree with you completely, the problem is that the majority of people will refuse to acknowledge that there’s even a problem to begin with, or even if they do, they act like it’s some sort of fact of reality that they can do nothing about.

      All I want from Democrat voters is to acknowledge, “Yes. I am voting for a genocidal candidate, because unfortunately that is the position that my nation’s electoral system has put me in. And I will do everything in my power to change that by …”

        I feel like I’m seeing that attitude a lot. I guess some other people also feel it, but worry that expressing it will reduce the dem vote. Which is unfortunate, but also understandable.

        I’m not american, fwiw

          So for political benefit we should suppress discussion of american complicity in genocide? I’m not sure that qualifies as understandable.
