The other four didn't vote because there wasn't a party against genocide.
Lmao get ready for a dozens smug remarks from genocide voters trying to rationalise their shttiy behavior.
Electoral puritanism like this is a big part of why we now have concentration camps in America.
Thanks for that.
If more little shitards like you considered genocide a dealbreaker they might have considérée the political implication of bombing civilians before coing it
But They just knew they could count on you lot being cowards
The puritanism is that both parties are fascist.
Both parties are equally bad, that's why we're letting 65 million Latinos get deported instead of not letting 65 million Latinos get deported. Less genocide is actually just as bad as more genocide
The camps already existed with Biden, Trump is just putting more money into them
Yeah the downvotes you're getting really illustrate the three monkeys approach of centrists. Outright denial not only of opinions, but objective facts. Trump immigration policy is just Biden's turned up a notch, but with a lot of performative cruelty thrown in. Biden's immigration policy is just Trump's turned down a notch, with less performative cruelty. Trump vice signals, Biden virtue signaled. But their actual policies on immigration are very very similar.
So what you're saying is it's not just Biden's turned up a notch, he's doing it differently and much, much worse. The idea that, because both of them are immigration policies that include deportation, they must be the same thing is infantile
One of them is in favor of deporting all of the Latinos, but really it's the same policy lmao
Biden ran concentration camps. I'm sorry to have to inform you of this.
And those four are functionally equivalent to people who didn't vote because they're okay with either option
Genocide is much more like driving off a cliff than having ice cream or not voting.
It's kind of sad that I even have to say this.
I mean if we want a better analogy, Harris represented the "crash the bus into a building" party, and Trump represented the "crash the bus into a building and explode" party. 3 people are voting for building, 4 people are voting for building and explode, and 4 people are saying "I don't care whether we explode."
One of those 4 thinks they're making some kind of statement by saying "I don't want to crash at all, so I won't be voting." He is indistinguishable from the 3 that just don't care
Single issue voter is still committed to being uncommitted.
When your main issue isn't on the ballot, it doesn't matter in the election.
The other four didn't think this through because only one party had a subset of their coalition who opposed genocide, and also opposed 2 other genocides: the one Russia perpetrates against Ukraine, and climate change (leaving aside things like, you know, women's rights and LGBTQ+ rights... And not as a case-in-point the internal genocide of poor people when 50,000 Americans will now die from being dropped from Medicaid thanks to a bill that only ~~Republicans~~ the cliff-divers would have passed).
There's a genocide on the bus too?
Libs will tell the craziest stories just to avoid reality.
"Avoiding reality is when you use literary devices that are so complex literal children can parse them."
I'm sorry that you can't quite grasp what an analogy is yet. I hope you continue your education at some point.
