PARIS—“Do I really have to answer that question? I’m certainly not voting for the person leading the Republican Party.” That was the response of communist icon Angela Davis when a journalist asked about her intentions for the 2024 U.S.
The reality is that there are thousand of choices but propaganda makes you believe there’s only two. The world and society weren’t build by the red and blue party.
Nobody asks you to fix America, they asked you what choice you would make.
Here are the options:
-You can vote for a candidate that represents 10,000 people dying
-You can vote for a candidate that represents 5,000 people dying
-You can abstain and guarantee that the candidate that represents 10,000 people dying wins.
These are your options. There are no other options. So maybe you value your own personal moral integrity more than the lives of 5,000 people, but any reasonable person will see that the second option is the only viable choice if you actually want to be decent.
That’s more of a general human trait than an American one. Yes, Americans are very fond of their exceptionalism, but valuing the lives of your own tribe and kin more than those of others is something most mammals share. I dont want war anywhere in the world. I hope you have a nice day.
That’s exactly the problem, no one can force Netanyahu to do anything. He’s complety off his rocker. He’s doing everything to stay in power, because the moment he’s not, the courts will go after him. That’s why he’s trying to appease both those pushing for peace (Yes, I actually mean Biden here) and the warmongers (Israeli right wingers). Notice how he hasn’t gotten all the hostages back? That’s on purpose. The longer the war goes on, the better for him.
Now, who do you rather want in the White House next year? A feeble old man who will go along with everything Bibi says? Or an experienced prosecutor who can put her foot down?
I’m sorry for your friends. They need to leave, now. If war came to my doorstep, that’s what I would do.
That’s exactly the problem, no one can force Netanyahu to do anything.
US government is supporting israel fascist government, they could have prevent the genocide by simply not arming israel to death and gifting them billions. They can still persuade israel government to stop by simply stopp aiding them but they are doing the opposite.
Please. When the serbs did genocide the NATO bombed Belgrade. Kadhaffi was gone in a week. You’re telling me the US doesn’t have leverage against Israel? Come on now. Quit giving them weapons otherwise you guys are complicit, as simple as that.
Dude, I understand that America is fucking awful right now but don’t bullshit about shit you don’t understand… Some people are just paying lip service or stalling but Bernie is really fucking trying.
What about my friend in lebannon who’s parent getting bombed with white phosphorus, idiot? Fuck you u twatyank. I hope the israeli war gets so bad you guys get drafter and you see your children sent there never to come back. That’d maybe teach you not to support the war machine.
The US gave them the 2 tons bomb that just exploded on an hospital. I don’t give a shit about trump. You are american. Trump is your fault and your responsability. You fix trump. You fight against trump instead of being a little coward thinking he will stop fascism by casting his little ballot. And then you put the warcrimers in jail and drop the key.
Yanks are monsters omg “a little less genocide”. Do you guys fucking hear yourself?
Lol. What a lot of effort it must be to project your preconceptions on some rando on the internet. How do you know I don’t give a shit? That seeing these things doesn’t hurt me to my core? What do you want me to do, go out and start murdering politicians? Sit down and think for a few minutes before writing your next comment.
You’re a monster. “A slightly less painful genocide”? Do you hear yourself?
Some infinities are larger than others.
Most people prefer less genocide. It’s quite good for it to be scarce.
What about no genocide omg. Do you have a soul?
The reality is there are only two choices. Which will you choose?
The reality is that there are thousand of choices but propaganda makes you believe there’s only two. The world and society weren’t build by the red and blue party.
US libs value Americans© lifes more than us nonyanks. Well I’m ever asked the same question, I will not show any solidarity with them. I hope you guys get the civil war you started in so many foreign countries.
So no actual answer then?
Look I’d buy some nutella and spread it on the ballot. I want to pass a message but I’m classy like that.
Anyway nobody’s asking me lmao fix your goddamn country.

Then please write your politician to tell them to force netanyahu to calm his tits.
My gf have friends in lebannon. She have friends from gaza. She hurts.
Please?

I’d love to. Alas, all political power vested in me is in the form of a ballot. And I’ve already voted not to make the situation worse.
That’s bullshit. That line of thinking makes you complicit with the atrocities committed in your name.
Voting is absolutely not the only way to make your voice heard. Quite the opposite. You ate the carrot, you’re still obeying the farmer.
I’ve done so, Peter Welch is solidly against genocide and Bernie Sanders is trying congressional wizardry to try and cut off arms shipments.
Yeah you guys have been trying for a year now. Maybe stop trying and do something.
Dude, I understand that America is fucking awful right now but don’t bullshit about shit you don’t understand… Some people are just paying lip service or stalling but Bernie is really fucking trying.

I know he is mate but I do not believe the US governement will lift the pinky.
Admitting gaza is a ghetto would be admitting putting indians in reserves wasn’t cool either
It’s not my responsibility to fix your goddamn country. Stop supporting genocide.
Are you implying the USA has a functional democracy whose actions follow the will of the people?
Fair point
Not your responsibility? Oh, okay. Then feel free to refrain from contributing to the conversation.

You okay?
People here are not in charge of the Israeli government you know.
Or you meant the Russo Ukrainian war? Well then I sure hope Kamala wins too.
What about the Uyghurs? Shal we vote thirdparty so donald can give a full go to China there too?

All right I’m sorry.
If you want your heavily censored american-only echo-chamber there’s a website called reddit you could go to.
You sound upset, is everything okay?
Yes actually I got my daddy’s guitar so I’m learnin how to play tunbalalaika like a true antisemite.
