Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

“If you don’t want bad genocide you have to vote for good genocide”
That’s so fucking dumb.
“You have to vote for the Dems because the GOP are worse” is the fucking blind and morally bankrupt approach to electoralism that people like you have been pushing for decades now, and look where it got us.
Knock it off. Get smarter. Do not, under any circumstances at all, endorse genocide. Why does that need to be said??? What the fuck.
“They won’t listen to me if I disagree with them so I’ll just go ahead and agree with them”
Fucking brilliant plan.
If the line in the sand isn’t at actual genocide, then you have no line.
And if you have no line, then your support is unconditional.
If your support is unconditional, then you have zero influence.
Stop endorsing genocide. If you have any standards at all, that has to be it.
Go ahead and call your rep and ask them to stop sending bombs to Israel then.
Have you done that? Did you remember to say please?
Or did your actual plan stop at “vote for the guy committing genocide”?
It’s fucking moronic that you think writing them a blank check, a blank check for fucking genocide even you moral vacuum, you think writing them a blank check gives you influence? Think it through. Like, just use your brain. You have zero influence over them at all if you will support them even for genocide. It’s so fucking stupid and morally bankrupt.
You’re giving them a fucking endorsement and you’re calling it influence. How is the impotency of that not obvious to you?
Has the whole 'uncommitted' episode during the primaries just completely fly over your head you dumb fuck?
Nancy Pelosi Says U.S. 'Needs a Strong Republican Party' and Biden invites Trump to work together to lobby Congress on an immigration bill as both candidates visit border
What world do you live in dumbass?
