Not every victim of Genocide is killed. Any person who was put in a concentration camp by Hitler, or even persecuted, was a victim of the Holocaust. Similarly any person in Gaza is the victim of a Genocide. And you don’t have to be a Palestinian to empathise with people.

Your scope of analysis is limited to 4 years. There’s no long term analysis. If people vote for Genocide it will cement that Democrats can get away with anything if they fearmonger hard enough.

When people threaten to withhold votes for a Genocide they have to follow through or all the leverage falls away. It’s a game of chicken now.

It’s a game of chicken now.

And if you’re not scared of a convicted felon who promises to be a dictator on day one and has the Supreme Court in his pocket who granted him immunity as well as a cult like following who stormed the Capitol to attempt an insurrection yet who also praises dictators and salutes their generals and has nothing to lose getting ahold of the Presidency then I don’t know what to tell ya. But sure, let’s play chicken with the saner and lesser of the two evils and help MAGA win.

We’ve heard this one in 2016. The duopoly will not allow the facade to end. There will be elections in 2028.

He was a convicted felon who had the Supreme Court in his pocket who granted him immunity as well as an attempted insurrection in his honor and he saluted hostile generals?

I don’t remember if he promised to be a dictator on day one or had already praised dictators back then, so I’ll grant you that one out of…everything else he’s done since then which was not covered in 2016.

OK, I’ll bite. Trump wins. Give your “long term analysis”

Democrats won’t do Genocide in 2028 if they win then because they have now learnt they can’t get away with literally anything by feamongering.

Democrats can’t just say they’re “not Trump”. They have to be “not Trump”.

4 years? That’s your idea of “long term”? You honestly think losing one election will teach anybody anything? How the fuck will they know what lesson to learn when they lose? As other commenters have said, their are other issues the two parties disagree on. How will they know what one to blame for losing?

On the other hand, pubs are learning that they can run a convicted felon that promises a dictatorship if he wins. Yeah, let’s set that precedent…

Both Sidesing a Genocide by lying about history, another brave approach.

Universal Healthcare ranks higher on my list of priorities than Palestine.
