Dress it how you want, a vote for genocide is a vote for genocide.

An accurate picture here would have several hundred thousand Palestinians on both sides of the track. Not to mention it would still have trans people and immigrants on both sides of the track because both of those groups saw attacks on their rights under the Biden administration.

To make it abstract and intellectual like redditors like it: when the trolley problem has 3 people on the tracks and 1 on the other it seems like a no-brainer, but do you really think the same logic applies when there's 500 people on one side and 498 on the other?

Also keep in mind, the actual political system is more complex that one election. If a candidate is completely blown out the party will know it has to switch its platform for the next election. If a candidate gets a decent number of votes then it doesn't switch its platform. If you voted for Kamala Harris in 2024 you effectively let the Democrats know that genocide is negotiable and you are willing to let it slide. If you held your vote you exerted a bit of pressure for Democrats to stop supporting genocide.

Lets be real, if the US population votes in a democrat that isnt at least as left as Bernie or Mamdani, the US will just incrementally move further and further right. Yes its better to get any democrat over a republican, but it wont save the US long term. Its rotten to the core and needs a healthy cleaning from the inside out.

Why aren't we doing anything about the madman driving the trolley?

What is even more interesting is that the defeat has been vehemently declared before even the parties named their candidates.

Now excuse me, because US politics are interesting and so, but I need to make popcorn to watch my country's electoral court respond to the police about their involvement on what is looking like the largest corruption scheme in the country's history (what's a really high bar) while they manage what is looking to be the second most polarized election of the century.

God, I sometimes wonder if some commenters on here really think that or are sponsored by Republicans

Things will get worse either really fast or kinda slowly but nothing will get better.

There are definitely people on here that keep shitting on those not as extreme as they are. Constantly complaining about liberals not being left enough.

If you dont support communism at their personal definition, you aren't left enough

If you don't support communism and only support socialism within capitalism , you are basically alt-right.

If you dont support capitalism you are also not left enough (somehow. Yes it's confusing but apparently some argue this too).

Honestly it doesn't matter what you say. Someone on here will say you are the problem with why democracy has failed us.
