Nuanced thinking is the problem? Nope. Black and white thinking is the problem. Like the black and white thinking you are displaying here, by refusing to parse any policy decisions beyond “he supports genocide”. If you can’t distinguish between the greater and the lesser evil you’ll end up inadvertently supporting the greater evil.
But the thing is saying “Joe Biden is committing genocide” actively harms your own aims of electing Joe Biden, regardless of whatever your argument is.
So the only rational decision is to stfu about it or start doing genocide apology or denial.
I think the point these people are making here is that they’d like to not support evil at all and “but the other guy is worse” is the entirety of the fucking problem. Your mentality ensures this continues. You perpetuate this shit.
What other option that actually has a chance of winning is there? Last I saw, it was either going to be Biden or Trump on the ballot come November. So do you support genocide that can be curbed, or do you support full throated fascistic genocide?
And remember, inaction is a choice, and that choice inevitably favors the republican candidate. So again, which do you choose? Can you justify not playing electoral politics when we end up with that fucking fascist asshole back in the whitehouse? Cuz I’m sure Israel is gonna turn it up to 11 once they know they’ve got full cover from Donald “Stop releasing footage of you murdering people, this is really bad optics” Trump.
They can want it all they want. I don’t give a fuck. It’s shameful that the DEMOCRAT PARTY is giving them what they want, that’s not on me.
I care about what I want.
I want my President, the President representing the party I used to affiliate with, to not be a genocidal maniac who expands spying on his citizens. Who doesn’t restrict their free speech under the guise of national security when it is clear that it is all about money. Who does ANYTHING to combat homelessness, outrageously priced increasingly unattainable healthcare, skyrocketing inflation, the death of direct home ownership instead of just going “Everything is fine. Bidenomics. Catchy, huh?”
I could keep going on.
Biden is a shitbag human being unfit for the office. And I can count on my fingers with plenty left to spare how many Democrat politicians as a whole aren’t just as bad or worse.
Again, it is not on me that the Democrat party disenfranchised me and became a fascist carbon copy of early 2000s Republicans that I can not in good conscience cast a vote for. That is on the Democrat party.
I refuse to reward the Democrat parties absolutely abhorrent behavior over the past 2 years with a vote.
You’re conflating voting for someone with “agreeing with” them.
That’s not how democracy works.
You don’t “not vote” for all the candidates you don’t agree with. You do vote for the one that most closely aligns with your values. If you fail to do so, you’ll get the candidate who does not align with your values at all.
“I agree. He supports genocide. You should vote for him.”
You are the problem.

Trump tells Israel to “finish the job” in gaza, while Russian operatives try to convince you Biden is the worse choice

What makes you think a vote for Biden is voting for genocide that “can be curbed”?
Every statement and action from the Biden admin, even the meme we are commenting on, shows that Biden is unwilling to curb the genocide.
When the options are fascism and genocide or fascism and genocide there is no “winning”.
You abstain and don’t contribute to the ethos of either agenda.
FTFY. One party doesn’t want you to vote because you’re likely more against them than the other option.
Voter suppression is the right’s bread and butter, don’t be naive and think you’re not doing exactly what they want by staying home.
They can want it all they want. I don’t give a fuck. It’s shameful that the DEMOCRAT PARTY is giving them what they want, that’s not on me.

Democracy is you voting for my guy OR ELSE!!! /$
Ranked choice voting exists. There is a better way. Try to think outside the box buddy.
