So many 'both sides are the same' memes by Blue MAGA trying to voter shame like they do ever election year. We don't live in a democracy, we haven't in awhile. Another example of the plutocracy surfaced today...

I recently read something by a Palestinian, commenting on how so many people are advocating not voting for Biden because of what's happening in palestine. They said that y'all need to stop using dead Palestinians as a justification for your political stance. They talked about how they were horrified that someone would do something that's objectively worse for their families on the pretense of doing something because they were suffering.

But hey, maybe they're lying. Fuck, for all you know I made the entire thing up. But the fact remains that there's a large contingent of interactions that involve one side ostensibly advocating for a group of people without that group's input and doing so in a way that's likely to lead to more suffering.

Some people accuse me of not caring about Palestinians. Maybe that's true; maybe the reason I argue in favor of voting for Biden is pure self-interest, but it doesn't matter. Why I argue doesn't matter because this tactic, voting for Biden, is good not just for me but everyone who isn't a fascist, including the Palestinians that so many people here claim to care about.
