Politics is a spectrum, and theoretically there is a candidate even for you that would still support genocide and also be progressive enough to earn your vote.
Edit: Yes, downvote me, but tell me who you voted for in the most recent election at any level, and I'll point to the genocide they supported.
Edit 2: Lot of people telling me progressive candidates are on every ballot, but nobody has yet to name a single candidate. One person mentioned a party that fielded three total candidates nationwide in all races in the 2024 election, one of whom was a Presidential candidate that could not mathematically win because she wasn't on enough ballots. Most Americans were unable to find her name on their ballot, and the overwhelming majority of Americans did not have any PSL representation on their ballots at any level.
That is a wild self-report
Seriously
Scratch a liberal…
Who did you vote for in the last election? Do you honestly believe you never voted for a candidate that has supported genocide?
PSL, baby😎
So you didn't vote in a majority of the most recent elections? Because in 2024, PSL fielded three candidates, De la Cruz for President, Kevin Martinez for State Assembly in California, and Eduardo Vargas for City Council in Los Angeles. No congressional candidates, none in statewide elections, and De la Cruz wasn't even on the ballot in enough states to secure an electoral college victory with a clean sweep. PSL has never once won an election in America. Even if you lived in Los Angeles and voted for all three candidates, you would have left most of your ballot blank.
If you're saying you only vote for PSL candidates, you aren't really participating in elections. I applaud your conviction, and I hope someone more engaged than you can help the PSL party do better.
"Uhh that's doesn't count you're not really voting"
It counted for a maximum of three votes in three races. Did you not vote for anyone else? Why didn't you vote in most of the elections?
No, there isn't. What a fucking horrific thing to say.
You're telling me you've never voted for a candidate that supports the current Israeli genocide? Are you not an American?
I'm not an American but even i know there were candidates there who did not supported genocide.
There are some on some ballots, but you cannot fill out a ballot anywhere in America without casting a vote for a person who supports genocide. You can choose not to vote, but that's not participating in the process.
To someone who isn't American, I can understand how alarming and unfathomable this might seem, but I am telling you the truth. What you see on TV and social media is not representative of what most Americans experience at the ballot box.
Gloat more.
What the fuck are you talking about?
I'm saying that you're a genocide supporter who is gloating that your candidates are the only ones on the ballot in many races.
Yes I'm telling you that
So you haven't voted in a recent election? Or you just can't remember their names?
Whenever someone starts there sentence with "so", you know they're about to say something that doesn't remotely resemble anything you actually said.
You didn't ask me for a name, how about you shut the fuck up, you genocide supporting scumbag.
They probably mean that anyone supporting a genocide cannot be a progressive politician.
Theoretically there's a progressive who supports genocide hard enough to get your vote.
What the fuck are you talking about?
I'm saying that I don't believe your assertions that you're a progressive because of all the simping for the genocidal you're doing all over this thread.
