And I get that. But I also get not wanting to vote for someone who is willing to save you but not willing to save someone you think is also worth saving. That’s a pretty large ask of someone morally. At what point do you stop blaming the people who’s morals held them to too high a standard and start blaming the people who couldn’t meet the bar of “don’t support a genocide”.
Like, your really going to spend time,effort and soul into being mad at the guy unwilling to compromise on their morality for their own safety rather than the guys who can’t stack up to what should be an easy ask?
Just weird priorities brother. I get the harm reduction argument. I voted and whatnot. But the moment that election was over, I was way more mad at the folks who couldn’t help but declare how much they won’t budge on genocide instead of my friends and ideological comrades. At the end of the day it was those running the election who lost it.
Brother, I cannot express to you how weird it is that you so blatantly throw gazan lives in the “already dead pile, so not really apart of the conversation, except for those who want no dead people. Those are the real killers. Not the killers I want you to vote for. You practically voted for the killers I didn’t want you to vote for!”
Look brother. At the end of the day, we both voted for a genocidal regime. I took it as an unfortunate lesser evil choice that failed due to the lesser evil not being lesser enough on the evil.
You sit here and argue some weird logical loop that somehow means you actually, the guy who voted for the genocidal regime, are somehow less culpable to that continued genocide than the person who couldn’t condone that coming from their actions.
It’s weird. It’s self righteous and I don’t get it. You got off the hook. You don’t get to see the genocide you voted for, you got a different one you didn’t. But that doesn’t absolve you and it doesn’t absolve me. Eat it and move on with more productive things.
