Just stop trying to paint the dems as "unwilling to take a strong stance against it" when they were absolutely "actively encouraging it". What is with this liberal disease of totally ignoring actions while obsessing over words?

You think I've opted out of a decision, but I think you've opted in to accepting genocide. How can you accept such a thing? The absolute minimum you should demand of your party is that they oppose genocide. Otherwise, what is the fucking point?

When there are 2 choices and you choose neither that is opting out of a decision, and nothing else. It's throwing your hands up and saying "well i cant change it anyway, let's just do nothing".

Also, stop pretending like trumps and kamalas stances are identical. They're not. Trump is right up there with netanyahu in seeing palestinians as subhuman.

If you say you support a ceasefire, but you refuse to stop sending weapons to Israel, then you don't actually support a ceasefire, and the only rational conclusion is that you actually support the genocide. The difference between the Harris and Trump stances are that one of them lies about their motivations.

If there are "two choices", both of which support genocide, then there is actually only one choice. I did not opt out of any decision. I registered a vote of no confidence.
