      i’m expounding upon my difficulty in justifying my vote for biden; before the genocide i was going to hold my nose and do it and now i’m no longer sure i can even do that.

        Because Trump won’t continue to aid in that genocide despite already saying he would?

        It’s going to be either Trump or Biden. If you don’t vote for Biden, you risk getting the dictator. That should be a very easy choice for you.

          biden is actively enabling a genocide right now and has done something similar for several others in the last few decades as a senator; meanwhile trump has only fantasized about helping a genocide.

          it would be an easier choice it he would just stop helping genociders.

            Again, Trump will be no different on that front. That is simply a non-issue when it comes to which of them to vote for. And, also again, it’s either going to be Trump or Biden.

              also again: biden has enabled more genocides than than trump ever has.

                You’re still justifying voting for a dictator over a non-dictator. It should be a simple choice. Either you’re for American fascism or against it. It doesn’t matter what Biden has done. It matters whether or not you want a dictator.

                  american facism is already here; biden and trump are merely two different flavors of it.

                    What a ridiculous thing to say. Biden doesn’t have a plan to put all the migrants into concentration camps or to suppress queer people or anything else in Project 2025’s list of goals, which Trump will implement.

                    So either you are not aware of Project 2025 and how it will lead to another genocide, possibly more than one, or you only care about one genocide.

                Trump.enabled Russia’s action in Ukraine, which some would say aims to be genocide as well, and on a larger scale.

                So it’s a choice between genocide, or two genocides and fascism in the US. I know it’s a shit choice, between bad and worse, but one of those two people is going to be elected. Personally I am going to vote against worse.
