How is being genocided without restraint better than being genocided without restraint?

There is no better or worse in actively arming and participating in a genocide.

I'm not the one murdering them, quite literally. Just like in real life, there is no mystical unstoppable force of nature in play. It's another person, like you. Their choices aren't your choices.

To put it another way, if you sold a kid a bike and he later crashes and dies despite the bike having no faults, are you responsible? Most would correctly identify that you are not responsible in that scenario, as the kid is responsible for what they did with the bike.

There already has been no restraint from Biden. Genocide is genocide, and Harris supports genocide.

I'm not voting for genocide, there is no moral argument to do so.

I'm not ever going to vote for a genocide, and there is no moral high ground if you do .

Democrats have no interest in democracy or anything that weakens their corporate power, like rcv/star/democratic voting methods.

I don't think any undecided voters are going to be moved by Michelle Obama, the definition of "only mildly appealing to center right wine moms as a vague topic of conversation."

The man who appointed Hitler wasn't a fascist.

I'm not voting for genocide. In fact I already voted against genocide.

The Dems nor Republicans have a candidate that is against genocide.

Not really it means the only thing that passes is the lowest common denominator items, like funding genocide and bailing out large corporations.

University nerds with early access to early forms of Internet would definitely never utilize such serious world changing technology to chat and dawdle amongst themselves to the point a connection would form. It's not like the entirety of video gaming was created by a nerd severely misusing an extremely expensive oscilloscope.

"pragmatic" problem solving is killing all undocumented migrants to solve the housing and work shortages in the US.

Pragmatic problem solving was the excuse for the necessity of the Holocaust. Pragmatic problem solving is making black people count as two thirds a white person to appease fascists.

Pragmatic problem solving is a liberal appointing Hitler chancellor so commies don't get power and Nazis stop doing violence.

Pragmatic problem solving is behind the worst human atrocities. Let's not pretend it's ever been good.
