No, you're not supposed to be cool with funding genocide. The problem is that BOTH SIDES support the genocide, so you have to look at what other things differentiate them, like one side also wanting to kill LGBTQ people and immigrants, for example. The best option is damage mitigation, not sitting back and letting the greater evil win.
Yes, I don't disagree. That's what i did.
Framing anyone unhappy with genocide as a purity testing lefty who didn't get everything they wanted so they pouted and sat out the election is wildly blasé, however, and its gross that that's a popular sentiment here.
It's reasonable, because most people whining about supporting Israel's genocide don't acknowledge that it's a policy of the US government that anybody who could ever win an election would also support. It's unconscionable, it's horrible, it's a crime against humanity, but it's also not a factor in choosing who to vote for to cause the least harm in a shitty first past the post system.
