      Get off your privileged fuckig high horse, last time the orange intersection was in office he bungled a pandemic response, he politicized wearing PPE because he didn’t want to smudge his spray tan, he seized medical supplies going to blue states. We lost abortion rights. If all you think he did was bad tweets you need to check your reality.

      Are you real? This is so on the nose it comes off as a #walkaway bullshit. Project 2025 is real. We aren’t guaranteed to survive

      As a queer person, I might not survive another trump presidency. The vitriol that he stirs in his base against marginalized communities got people killed in his first term and will get people killed in his second.

      but we’d all live.

      This is actually not the case.

      But you, yes, your privileged ass probably will live and be fine. Plenty of other people will be much worse off or even dead under Trump. So feel good and pat yourself about supporting Trump instead of voting for a better world, but spare the rest of us your privileged arrogance.

          A vote for Biden does more to help Palestinians than your support for Trump does.

          Man. Imagine having not only the privileged arrogance you demonstrate in your previous post, but also the blind conceit to accuse others of hypocrisy when you can’t even see how the consequences of your own actions lead to more harm for the people you claim to care about.

          You’re broadcasting “let them eat cake” levels of arrogant privilege.

              If you can choose between “less genocide” and “more genocide” and you don’t choose “less genocide,” then you have absolutely no moral high ground to stand on.

              Look, if pointing out this issue gets you this angry, it should be a clear sign that deep down you understand the problem and your cognitive dissonance is deafening you to it. Refusing to have a conversation and just resorting to tantrums and namecalling is a bad look, and it betrays the emptiness of your moralizing.

                  The choice is not genocide or no genocide. The choice is less genocide or more genocide.

                  I’m choosing less genocide.

                  You’re saying you’re not ok with genocide, and therefore you choose more genocide.

                  Your position makes no sense.

                If we can make Biden understand that we won’t vote for him without a ceasefire, don’t you think that maybe that will pressure him to change his position? Or do you believe that he is so 100% committed to supporting genocide that absolutely nothing can change his mind?

                  I’m pretty sure that Biden is a reasonable politician who has shown over and over again throughout his long career that he both listens to people and that he is willing to change is mind. He’s done so time and time again.

                  Man it’s unfortunate that you privileged moralizing purists are not as reasonable as Biden. You guys absolutely refuse not to support more and worse genocide for some awfully stupid reason. I would love to see you change your mind and actually work towards the greater good.

                    Okay, so if Biden can change his mind, isn’t it our duty to pressure him to change his mind?

                    I’m sure we can do that. And if we do that, I can vote for Biden without supporting genocide. Wouldn’t that be great?! If you didn’t have to choose the lesser genocide, but actually could just stop the genocide? You said it yourself, he can change his mind! Let’s help him do so.

                    And that means holding his feet to the fire. You blue-no-matter-who voters have zero leverage and no voice. We’re the swing voters now.

      You could’ve spared some time and just said that you voted trump twice and will do it again.
