John Mearsheimer: "I won't vote for the Democrats because of the genocide in Gaza. I think the Biden administration is complicit in the genocide and genocide is a red line for me."

A Kamala win basically signals to the oligarchy that as long as there's a Trump or worse, they can use fear to excuse any atrocity. It moves the US deeper into fascism. If mass atrocities and genocide aren't a redline, then what is?

Anybody who starts trying to justify voting for these ghouls simply exposes themselves as being utterly morally bankrupt.

This is basically it. The Democrats figured out that they don’t have to promise anything substantial as long as they can scare people into voting for them because the other team is worse. They can also rehash old promises as long as they find some excuse not to deliver on them when they have the power to do so.

Precisely, that's the whole genius of the lesser evil narrative.
