      So you have no domestic policies you care about? Like being able to vote against genocide in the future? Cause Trump has a lot of policies in mind that would seem to prevent doing anything about that later down the line.

      I can’t even call it shortsighted because it’s not like the other option is even going to help things short term. If anything the other option is just going to be even worse. So I don’t really get the stance other than a nihilistic “let everything burn” response.

        Forget about the Nazi genocide, think about your student loans!

        It’s like watching poor billionaires not giving a shit about anyone but themselves.

      Voting to support a little genocide, vs not voting and allowing a big genocide… Now where have I seen a philosophical problem like that before…

      Better than not voting and ending up with a lot of genocide… Or maybe you want to go tell the people of Gaza that you’re an accelerationist and just had to let things become worse in order for them to potentially get better?

        I see… Voting in support of the current genocide is an act of compassion. Right.

        As if voting blue, red, or not at all are the only options. I’m voting for the person who I decide deserves my vote. Not in support of the status quo.

          I assume you’ve put forth a lot of grassroot efforts in the many years in advance to give your group relevance right? You wouldn’t just make a meaningless vote to someone with no realistic chance in order to posture right?

          And thanks to people like you, the group that holds itself together the most (the right) has more chances to win.

          You hate the current system? That’s perfectly fine! It’s still the system by which rules you need to play may you like it or not!
