Pretty directly: The Democrats were committing a genocide. Voting for them will not stop the genocide. The argument that “but someone else is also doing it!” doesn’t make it matter any less that you are doing it.
You are presenting a false dilemma, there are more to do than vote and there’s more than two parties.

Not really, no.

Not to mention the 3rd parties just steal votes from the 2 party system we have

Actually they don’t. The democrats arent owed your vote, a third party isn’t stealing votes.

and don’t have a chance at winning.

And they never will because of short-sighted people like you.

Yes im sure if we keep doing the thing that we’ve been doing for decades as everything has been getting worse, then things will change. I would vote third party, but nobody has done all the work of making me feel like there’s a good one for me so I guess I’ll keep voting for genocide. Im sure this will help change things.

Yes because the only thing to do is vote and the only parties are dem and republican, your hands are tied! You have to vote for genocide! Why won’t people just let you have your treats?

There’s actually more than two parties and more to do than vote

Afghanistan and Iraq happened with the support of democrats and was worsened under democratic leadership. The current genocide in Gaza started under Biden. Roe v Wade was overturned under Biden. By domestic terror do you mean ICE? Tom Homan was appointed by Obama and Obama was the one to massively expand ICE.
Iran has been the target of the US empire for decades, Kamala Harris called it the biggest enemy of the US. She was just as fervent a supporter of Israel as Biden and Trump, and Israel pushing for the war is why its happening. There is no way of knowing what would have happened under a dem president, but we have all reason to assume she would have gone along with the war against Iran, just like Trump did.

That this thread is full of people foaming at the mouth at the mere thought of someone foreign having an opinion and sharing it, and you strike me as the type to do that.

Because the only political action one can take is vote, alright 🫩
You dont contribute to “lessening” evil by voting for a genocider.

Not voting would also be better than voting for genociders

Already answered.

So people who don’t vote actually dont endorse a candidate. This is a bit of an advanced piece of politics, but the way voting in the US works is you vote for a candidate and if you dont vote for someone, then they dont get your vote.
Your logic rests on an assumption that the democrats are owed your vote, which they aren’t. Had Harris won, then you wouldnt be saying the people who didnt vote passively endorsed her, but they would have done that just as much.
Those who don’t vote are in fact doing the opposite of endorsing anyone, they are signalling apathy with the system.

I think committing genocide is bad, even if someone else is also doing it, and I think its bad to reward someone for committing a genocide.

of federal employees

Lmao fell for it again

Right, because your strategy has been really successful. Just look at all the genocide we’re doing!

The other party has had to change things up. The republicans decided to become more evil in response to Obama. The democrats have also decided to change things up by becoming more evil every election

I am not wasting my time reading all that. Joe Biden is a rapist who killed the MeToo movement, the democrats are enacting a genocide and people can vote third party. Pretending like you’re a “victim” when you vote for genociders is insane. And its fucked up to appropriate language used to describe what happens to women who come forward about sexual assault, to shield yourself from critique for voting for rapist genociders.

Im heading to bed now (yes I am studying abroad, spooooky!) so I’ll get you tomorrow, but the foreign prison thing? We’ve had foreign death prisons for ages - Guantanamo Bay, Abu Ghraib, we could go on. Then there’s the long list of CIA blacksites.

“one foreign-policy one-issue” say you dont give a shit about genocide you coward.

but as this last election has proven, voting for them when they can’t win only leads to worse and more genocides

Because the tactic of running an unelectable psycho and yelling at anyone daring to critique her has really been doing wonders.
Funny to bring up Venezuela, you people really have the memory of goldfish. Venezuela has been the target of the US for over a decade now, same goes for Iran. The only thing thats worse (for you) is that you have to pretend to give a shit.
