      I mean, by virtue of the the fact that Trump will 1000% make things worse in Gaza, literally yes.

      You’re talking like if you get the option between getting shot in the foot or the face, you’d pick the face just to make a point.

        The whole point is saying I’d rather not get shot at all and I’m not going to give any approval to get shot anywhere. Especially when the question is actually closer to where would I like to shoot some random civilian. I’m not going to give approval to shoot them in the foot nor the face.

          Cool, by opting out they get shot in the face. But you get to feel better about yourself so congrats.

            And you get to order someone shot in the foot (but let’s be real, they’re going to end up shot in the face regardless face) so congrats on giving the order too I guess

              Look, dude, I’d absolutely love for the situation to be better than it is, but the fact of the matter is, it’s not. These are our choices. You can pick bad or worse, and if you don’t pick, it’s going to be worse. You can dream about better options all you want, and if they were available I’d absolutely go for them, but refusing to avoid making the situation worse because you want it to be better is idealistic at best and actively harmful at worst. I’m glad you can feel good about yourself letting the worst come to pass, but some of us are actually trying to do damage control, and that defeatist attitude isn’t helping. That’s my stance, and I’ve spent enough time expounding on it. You can take it or leave it, either way I’m done.

                Fully agree and I wish the situation was better. I’ll keep it on the level, genocide is a deal-breaker for me. I’m surprised it’s not a deal breaker for other people too to be honest. And it’s awful that our only choices are awful candidates. Really makes you wonder how we got here and I can’t help but feel that this a vote blue no matter who bullshit along with Dems always backing incumbents Even when they’re terrible has paved the way for our present situation. That’s not going to get better unless we do something to change it. We found ourselves in afucked up hole and the first step to finding a way out is to stop digging.

                I hope you’re right though I guess there’s a lot of people that are going to vote for him even though he is enabling genocide, I hope he decides to turn it around and start representing voters.

                  Well I appreciate you saying so. It just frustrates me how many people are okay with handing Trump the presidency despite how obvious he’s made it what a bad choice he is. I don’t like Biden either, but at this point I see him as a necessary evil.
