Jill Stein Is Killing the Green Party
With membership at new lows and no electoral wins to their name, it’s time for the Greens to ditch the malignant narcissist who’s presided over its decline.

You're viewing part of a thread.
I've been heavily anti-Israel since the murder of Rouzan al-Najjar in 2018. I've worked on multiple local campaigns for both independent and Democratic candidates alike. But reading through your rant it definitely sounds like you're projecting a lot of your own personal insecurities. I'm sorry that exercising my freedom to vote for a candidate that aligns with my values of not commiting genocide upsets you. I hope you can look past your own shortcomings as a human being and learn to forgive yourself for being ok with your tax dollars slaughtering an entire indigenous population.
But your proposed course of action clearly doesn't align with your stated goal, for reasons that have already been pointed out to you. I don't see you engaging with that argument. This leads me to believe that you don't actually care about what happens to Palestinians; you just want to feel like you're taking a moral stand. People that actually give a shit tend to care about what the consequences of their actions will be.
My proposed course of action aligns with the Palestinian Americans in my community. We speak out at our city council every month and hold rallies near our house reps office every week. But I guess I just don't care as much as someone voting in favor of the slaughter of their families, someone like you.
Whether that's true or not, it doesn't change the math. The world's full of people advocating against their own interests. You still haven't addressed the argument.
It's a dumb argument. A mental math to justify voting for genocide.
No, it's the logical and inevitable consequence of the action you're advocating for. Just saying it's "dumb" in no way refutes it.
