Wtf. I've never seen so many people annoyed that their fellows are protesting genocide. How do you take a situation like this and make it a fucking trolley meme.
I don’t think people are saying you shouldn’t protest the genocide. You should! But it’s stupid to not vote for Harris over it because letting Trump win doesn’t just throw women, LGBTQ people, etc. under the bus, it also makes the genocide of Palestinians even worse.
What I have seen with my eyes in the last 12 months is so horrifying that I cannot imagine how it could be worse.
Unfortunately I think Bibi has a better imagination than you
He's been doing unlimited slaughter on gaza for 12 months it couldn't possibly get worse than that theyre not gonna nuke Palestine the fallout would hit all of israel
"It couldn't possibly get worse" so frequently comes right before it gets so, so much worse.
How
Maybe actual Holocaust style death camps, medical experimentation, elevating the death toll ten-fold. There are always ways things can get worse.
It's stupid to vote for someone supporting a genocide
It's stupid letting trump win.
Yes. Luckily life isn't a meme and you are offered infinite possibilities so you can fight off trump without having to support criminals.
Lol
Imagine you're strapped to an operating table, incapacitated. There are two other people in the room strapped to tables with you.
In walk two psychopaths, let's call them Al and Bob. They explain to you that they've decided to let the three of you choose your fate: Al wants to chop off your right hand, Bob wants to chop off all four of your limbs. They give you five minutes to decide, and then they'll come back to take a vote, majority decides whether Al or Bob gets their way. If you refuse to vote they'll flip a coin.
Immediately one of the other victims starts saying how terrible Al is and how horrible it is to chop off someone's right hand. Non-stop protesting the inhumanity of Al, how important it is to deny Al the opportunity to take your right hand.
For whatever reason they seem oddly quiet on the fact that Bob also wants to take your right hand, and arm, and the left, and both legs. Whenever you try to interject with that fact, they accuse you of being pro-handchopping and how could you even suggest voting for Al the evil handchopper. And now the other victim seems to be taking this anti-Al rhetoric quite seriously.
Would you find that annoying?
This is America
The government is spending billions in propaganda, half the people here are brainwashed and sockpuppets of their government
The Kremlin is spending even more, making people sockpuppets of them.
Edit: here they come!
The Biden/Harris admin is literally doing genocide to appease a foreign lobbying group (AIPAC)
Not true actually, the country that spend more money in war and in propaganda is USA.

Russia cyberwar capabilities look weak compared to what the US has

You have to be a bigot who is happy to sacrifice others for your own comfort.
The original argument was "Both sides are evil/bad and we need to get rid of both." These Democrats are trolling non-stop. Hopefully, they'll be gone in a few weeks.
