    Ah yeah that totally is a logical approach to what was said.

    MAGA level logic

      I don’t care if you think it’s “MAGA level logic.” As I said, I don’t give a shit if you think I’m acting irrationally or that I’m a bad person. I know that I’m not.

      The fact of the matter is that the only recourse you have is to demand policy concessions to my side if you want to win. Support a centrist and you’ll get another Trump. I’m “irrational,” right? So it doesn’t matter what words you say to try to convince me. Give me what I want (ending the mass slaughter of innocents) or we all go down together.

        Wow we’ve just moved on to full MAGA logic with that one.

        You know the funniest thing is you assume we’re on different sides. We’re likely not. I acted on harm reduction. I want less dead people, but apparently you want more:

        Give me what I want (ending the mass slaughter of innocents) or we all go down together.

          Kamala would not have ended the mass slaughter of innocents, stop pretending that’s what you stand for.

            Oh so the people murdered by ICE were guilty or at the very least not innocent in your eyes?

                You said you only cared about innocent lives while disregarding these lives. You said that not me.

                  I never “disregarded” those lives. I voted for a candidate who opposed both ICE and the genocide of Palestinians. You voted for a candidate who supported both.

              Do you think it’s more effective to try to convince anti-genocide people to become a bit more okay with genocide rather than joining their side and remove both ICE murder and genocide together?

                Why do you assume that’s not what I want?

                I just didn’t see that option on the ballot

                Harm reduction the day we get to the ballot, rest of the days to changing the system. I’d rather face shitty choices that move us 1 step back or keeps the status quo than to allow a madman the reigns. Things were shit before, they are worse now. It may take a decade to even get back to where we were let alone progress.

                This is assuming non-violent options of course

                  I assume that’s not what you want because you’d hold any amount of water for someone perpetuating a genocide. That’s not even taking into account that the efficacy of voting and getting your choice of genocidaire is highly dependent on what state you live in. The discussions sucks out all the oxygen from actionable things that might actually solve problems.

        I know that I’m not.

        I wonder if Palestinians, whose situation is way worse with Trump at the helm, give a flying fuck about your “clear” conscience.

        Give me what I want (ending the mass slaughter of innocents) or we all go down together.

        Spoken like a true selfish little bitch.

          I created an account just to say this: I am Palestinian, believe it or not, and to me and everyone I know, American presidents are all the same.

          I don’t think that Trump is in any way better than any other candidate would have been, but I don’t care if you’re polite about committing genocide like the democrats want it to be or if you’re full on honest about committing genocide. The outcome is the same to me, I just want it to stop, "less bad“ isn’t enough.

          Please don’t use Palestinians as a token for your agenda, because we don’t support it.

          And now I’ll abandon this account again even though I’m very proud of the name

          selfish

          I’d say this is a revealing word, except that you already openly admitted that you think American lives are inherently more valuable than those of foreigners.

          But it’s revealing because it shows that you are fundamentally incapable of seeing Palestinians as human beings. You are therefore only able to conceive of my position as some kind of “pet cause,” that is exclusively about me and my feelings. The reality is that my position comes from a place of selflessness, of placing the lives of the marginalized victims of my country above my own concerns and interests. But in your mind, the lives of Palestinians have no value except insofar as an American, a human, cares about them.

          You are a disgusting fascist that has no value to contribute to the discussion, you are my enemy and our goals are fundamentally opposite. Unlike you, I believe that all people are created equal. The only problem you have with Trump is that he doesn’t respect decorum, on every other point his actions are completely consistent with your chauvinistic values.

          I only have three more words to say to scum like you: Follow Your Leader.
