      I don’t have an account long enough but browsed through the different instances enough and I’ve never seen anything about genocide.

      More like lots of having to refute dumb arguments that imply choosing harm reduction is the same thing as endorsing harm.

        “harm reduction” in the context of genocide is absolutely wild. It’s a genocide, not a heroin habit

          I want no genocide. My choices are: vote for a candidate that would make the genocide worse, while complaining they’re supporting a genocide, or vote for a candidate that would more or less do nothing about it, while complaining they’re ineffectual at stopping the genocide.

          How can you not see one of those two options is better?

            Biden isnt “doing nothing”, he’s actively making it worse. He is directly complicit. How do you not see this?

              Okay, does that actually change the choice you make? You only have two practical options when it comes to voting. I said do nothing because the government’s policy on Israel effectively hasn’t changed now that they’ve started a genocide (or rather, really ramped up their genocide). In that sense, he’s doing nothing. But again, does that change the choice you make in order to end up with the world closest to what you want?
