Does it make 0 sense to protest against the genocide to pressure them to stop?

[-] Saff@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 months ago

Of course not. But allowing their political rival (who also supports the thing you want to protest against) to win because you get apathetic and don’t vote is the most idiotic thing I’ve ever heard of.

Dems like to point that this is the most important election ever. We can't even vote our way out of a genocide and you're questioning the apathy toward voter engagement. I'm looking around and seeing a vastly different political landscape than you and wondering what you are looking at.

They have a two party system, if both of those parties support genocide then what other options are there except a revolution?

I'm not advocating people decide not to vote, i'm defending the apathy most voters feel because democrats have given them ample reason to feel apathetic.

If banging the drum of genocidal complicity is me acting against my selfish desire to end the genocide, then I think banging the drum of 'vote for biden or else' is also acting against our collective desire to end the genocide.

In my opinion, we should all be banging the same 'stop the genocide' drum so that in November everyone can feel better about voting instead of having to do genocide math to figure out what to do.
