I was using 'you' rhetorically rather than accusing you of anything. IDK how you see that as a hostile one. I'm just explaining why people get rubbed the wrong way by the the vote blue brigade.

Rubbed the wrong way is understandable, but that's not supporting genocide. They're not and I think you know that

The endpoint of the lesser evilism voting is that you're browbeating people to not protest vote and instead vote for one of the two parties, both promising more genocide, one of which is directly implicated in an entire year of it so far.

To any outside observer ( the people you're trying to sway) it still looks like you support them and everything they've done.

I know, it's the age old reform or revolution debate, nothing new. It's hardly genocide support. Full throated support of Israel's flattening of Gaza gets you buried in downvotes, even on World

Trying to run a third party is the only viable reformist track- the democratic party is totally unresponsive to reform attempts- recall how Obama personally intervened to stop that last time. He even dismantled his own electoral apparatuses after his first run.

Is that genocide support tho? You're calling them genocide supporters. I am not discussing the merits of third party voting with you

Supporting a political party that has been participating in a genocide is supporting genocide, the Democrats have been a genocidal regime worse than any in my lifetime
