He got me to read the Manifesto and would have hours' long debates with our social-democratic roommate and now this. It's really shaking me up a bit.

He is on the whole defeatist 'nothing will fundamentally shake the imperial machine so might as well pick the wardog with better domestic policies' tip. I want to get through to him but I am getting stuck.

For example:

i also refuse to not vote my conscience but i figured this time its not like doing this abstract process to pick if id prefer -100 points vs -200 points is gonna matter that much if i genuinely believe itll even be slightly better under kamala i might as well

Hey check this out you have an empty hole where thoughts and empathy is supposed to be. It's a common issue though, so common I don't need to write anything original for you

How do you libs keep this mental gymnastics?

I genuinely don't understand. You're advocating for literal genocide. You don't care for Palestinian lives.

Not only that but to believe in the illusion that the democrats care about black and LGBT people is beyond wishful thinking.

And what the fuck is a worse genocide? Double genocide?

Everyday I'm more convinced you USians are just a bunch of genociders. Fuck you.

Here we go again. The fact that you're all just saying the exact same idiotic stupidities is honestly baffling. In a sense it's nice since I don't have to type out something unique for each and every one of you, but how can you live like that? Totally unexamined? Just... An empty vessel for whatever is on the front page of reddit to be broadcast into your skull this day.

And here's an extra special treat, just for you because I imagine you're gonna say something about not voting being a vote for Trump
