    Good time to remind people there are more than two buttons, not just third party candidates, but local and Congressional organizing

    Genocide or dictatorship AND genocide. Speaking as a non-Murican, I hate Biden but if you guys don’t vote for him, then Trump will win. And when Trumpet wins, Israel isn’t going to suddenly be nice to Palestinians, and Ukraine will probably be fucked. And if Ukraine is fucked, then all of Europe is fucked.

      If there are 2 buttons, and both will result in the commission of Genocide, you don’t press either button. This is why this meme wouldn’t work in its usual context if the buttons said that.

      Any voter or potential voter who has moral principles and values should withhold support for any candidate who supports or enables the most serious crime known to humanity.

      If a political opponent of Adolf Hitler was vying for election in Germany in 1932 or 1933, and that political opponent also had the same views towards Jews and/or other ethnic, racial, religious and national groups as Adolf Hitler, with the same intention to commit and use the power of their office to facilitate genocide against those groups as the NSDAP has, you don’t vote for that other candidate, even if they maintain free elections within a fascist Germany. On principle, every person has a moral responsibility not to support, nor facilitate the crime of Genocide. A true democracy allows for true political expression of the population and doesn’t force its electorate to back a Genocide.

      I hope I’m not being OTT or patronizing. When talking about an ongoing Genocide against a group it’s off to reduce the (unfortunately) political issue of Genocide prevention to the less serious language used in US domestic politics. And there ought not to be a reason why Palestine is less important than Ukraine or Russian influence in Europe. I mean Palestine is fucked right now and has been since 1948. Why would European people let Palestine be fucked for decades since it doesn’t affect Europe but care about Ukraine since it does? I dunno such a shit situation.

    Just don’t vote for Biden! When he loses, he’ll see the error of his ways in supporting a genocide. Then next electio- oh… oh…
