I'm struggling to parse your first paragraph, but I think I've got your gist. I do not think that withholding my vote is an endorsement for killing minorities. I do think that a vote for Biden is an endorsement of genocide. I was just trying to point out what a ridiculous accusation it was. I definitely don't expect pug to cop to endorsing genocide tho.
Again with this "ideal world" imperfect candidate bullshit. This is genocide we are talking about, not free college, or reparations, or fucking anything else.
Third paragraph pretty much more of the second. I don't care: stop the genocide first.
Fourth paragraph. This isn't about assuaging my conscience. I am responsible whether I vote or not. I am responsible because I continue to pay taxes that support terror around the world. I am responsible because I don't act more forcefully against the system that grinds up children. If you think I won't vote for a genocidaire to feel superior, you are totally misunderstanding me. Maybe it's your own conscience? All of what you say about Gaza is being done right now, by the guy you are exhorting me to vote for. The state is being wiped out, food aid isn't getting in, and Biden is allowing Israel to starve them. Are you worried that Trump is going to bomb their corpses?
Well then what are you basing your vote on? It's not the material conditions of the Palestinians in Gaza, because you aren't picking the choice that aligns with that. You say it's not for yourself. Is it just on principle? I sincerely don't understand how you could hold the principle of Palestinian lives over the actual lives themselves.
I thought we built a whole supply pier to get food in more effectively? If you have more details, do tell, because I'm unsure of the details there, but I believe that was its purpose.
Aid is not getting in from the supply pier because we agreed that it would have to go through an Israeli checkpoint before distribution. Predictably, Israel is not allowing the aid to be distributed. Relying on the perpetrator of genocide to help you ameliorate the genocide is so stupid that it defies belief. Unless of course, the pretense is the point.

Oh really? That's incredibly lame
