Ah yes I'm a morally bankrupt coward for ... Voting? Being realistic about our world? Caring about more than one thing at a time?
If it wasn't concern trolling and people actually cared about the Palestinians more than some moral superiority complex we would have Harris as president. Instead people were too short sighted or dumb to realize they were being manipulated into giving Trump support by them not voting or voting third party.
So ... Yeah, obviously I think what happened and is happening in Gaza is fucked up. It's a man made famine starving kids, not to mention all the other ways they're dying.
Yeah you sure put pressure on the American government to stop that one by assuring them you’ll still vote for them if they don’t even promise to end funding to a genocide. I’m sorry but any way you slice it to me, this attitude makes you complicit.
I don't think you understand how American government works if you think abstaining from voting is pressuring anybody to do anything.
I don’t think YOU understand how governments work if you can’t even understand that applying pressure to a government to do something will change their platform during elections. It’s part of why Biden stepped down dude.
