Not only does blue MAGA want me to vote for genocide, they want me to vote for genocide denial and the destruction of international law.

Yeah, better make sure red MAGA wins instead so you can get genocide denial, destruction of international law, destruction of local law, a brand new genocide in Europe and less woman and minority rights.

That will sure teach that 81 years old a lesson to see even more people suffer for the rest of their lives until he croaks in a few years!

Blue MAGA isn't the mummy. It's the Party.

What do you think happens if Democrats, as a Party, know they can always just use the boogeyman to scare us into voting for them?

If you vote for blue MAGA the Party will realize they can kill anyone they want and you'll still vote for them. Who's next on the menu?

First they came...

I'm trans. I'm not going to vote for other people's genocide just to maybe protect myself.

But will we be protected? If my red state decides to forcibly detransition me in Biden's second term he wouldn't do shit about it.

You realize that there are two possible outcomes. Biden wins, and the Palestinian Genocide gets worse or Trump wins and the Palestinian Genocide gets much worse (barring some extenuating circumstance like Netanyahu being overthrown or forced out of power). You're voting for it either way, including by refusing to vote at all.

Your claim Trump's genocide will be "much" worse ring hollow, because you must realize Democrats will look at the election results and realize they need to obstruct Trump's genocide or face even more losses in 2026. Democrats will become the resistance again, instead of being complicit collaborators.
