Hey which genocidal maniac are y'all voting for?

Whenever someone posts a meme like this all the "vote harder" people come out of the woodwork to get mad at the OP. I've never told people not to vote, but I do 1000% believe that voting is the absolute least you can do to progress society.
Edit: don't bother reporting OP for this meme because I'm not gonna take it down.
- Same. I've literally said I'd vote for Biden, but I still get accused of supporting Trump by conservative and centrist Democrats. They're willing to hand-wave atrocities for the sake of a campaign. I'm not willing to overlook the suffering caused by our current administration, nor to deflect blame onto others.
  
  Though I have pushed back against the idea of sitting out this presidential election or voting 3rd party I am 100% on board with your approach. Definitely call out this sickening support of genocide, protest, write letters, and whatever else one can do. Longer term, also work on getting something better than first past the post and this stupid electrical college BS. And come Nov, don't let Trump in.
  
  Well I'm not voting for Biden, I've never voted for a democrat presidential candidate as they are indistinguishable from republicans, at minimum, a decade ago.
  Therefore with whatever God or enthropic void entity out in the cosmos, or whoever is reading this comment more realistically, as my witness - I will never vote for evil.
- Easier to get mad at OP than it is to challenge their own views, biases, and insistence on wilful ignorance.. ¯(ツ)/¯
- Gigachad behaviour
- Meh - this perfectly captures the micro-conditions in targeted areas. It’s a reality of global politics spanning 7000 years and involving hundreds of wars and billions of people. If that sounds callous it’s because I don’t know those people; they are outside of my monkey space and - as a human - I deal with them as non-persons, no matter how empathetic I think I am. I know it’s fucking terrible buti also know that (a) I don’t have control over it and (b) I have a hundred other things to worry about, like if my daughter might die due to something stupid like not getting her medical treatment because some religious nut says those meds might be used by someone to induce an abortion or to prevent pregnancy, or that the local coal mine is about to foul the water supply if our entire valley because they’ve paid a politician to look the other way while they dump heavy metals into our primary drinking water source.
  If I have a beef it’s only that “the next one” is no longer relevant because Biden’s (well, the US Government, but some directly authorized I’m sure) been bombing places for 3.5 years now, and 15.5 out of the last 19.5 if you connect him with the Obama administration. Otherwise it’s completely legitimate hyperbole/satire which recognizes the realty of decisions half way around the world. I think I’d be pissed if you took it down.
  
  What leads you to believe the needs of you and your daughter are more important than those of Hispanic immigrants or Palestinians? This is peak dehumanization.
  Also, yes it really is Biden. He signed off on this shit and put the weight of his administration behind it.

This is a fallacy. You find one area in which the two presidents are the same, and you extrapolate that into saying they're exactly the same in all areas. It's not a bad faith attack or trolling. It's just the result of someone whose thoughts are too simple to grasp the fact that people are similar in some ways and different in other ways. It's the thought process of someone who just doesn't get nuance.
- you extrapolate that into saying they're exactly the same in all areas
  Except I'm not doing this at all. You are a fool arguing with a strawperson.
  
  Okay, well if we agree that Biden and Trump are different in other areas, then what is even the point of this comic?
  Let's imagine that Anna and Peter are competing for the Vancouver regional tapdancing championship. They both had really good performances, and now the judges have to make a decision. Is Anna's flawless execution of traditional tap integrated with the forgotten styles of the past worthy of winning, or does Peter's bold new interpretation of an electronic tap genre deserve to take the gold?
  No matter who the judges pick to win the regional tap championship, people in the middle east will still be bombed by US drones. Are you going to make a comic about how the tap championship is meaningless because it won't make a difference in the middle east?
  
  Look, me and my partner are trans, and it lives in the US. We're terrified it's going to be killed by the Republican party during their next presidency. Conditions are eerily similar to 1920s Germany and we know our history. It's a refugee. I'm trying to get enough money to move it to my country, but I'm broke. I need more time. I want a progressive US president as much as anyone, I want to avert this shit. But if Biden wins the primary, that's 4 more years I have to save my partner's life. This is a matter of immediate life or death to me. That's 4 more years every trans person has to get out before it gets worse. I feel bad for people in the middle east, but my views on which president to elect don't affect them. It affects my partner. I don't agree with this view of "let's ignore trans people and focus on the middle east". The lesser evil means I don't have to grieve my love.
  You might not understand this election actually mattering if you don't have any trans loved ones.
- Talking about "nuance" when your government is committing a genocide in real time lmao
  
  Nuance is very important even during a genocide. For example, you chose not to see nuance, and you didn't notice that I'm not american. You saw what you wanted to see because you were angry. Anyone who disagrees is the enemy and must hold the identity of the enemy, in your mind. You're thinking just like the kinds of people who commit genocides. They don't believe in nuance, they attack because they see the enemy everywhere.
  
  Congratulations on devaluing the word genocide until it is meaningless. It doesn't mean a lot of civilians died, it means destroying a protected group, which is not happening. Collateral damage does not a genocide make.

This is the most successful republican presidency since George Bush and you want to throw it all away for the republicans to win. We've declared war on the entire middle east, we're doing the most egregious genocide since the holocaust, we declared SARS-CoV over and the economy fixed purely through the power of pretending. We're this close to enacting the entire republican border policy, if only the republicans would vote for it but they won't tie that to funding our genocide or our Nazi Mujaheddin currently replaying how the Nazis lost WW2. We need to enshrine our fossil fuel production and expand it wherever we can, to put a right-wing Christian man in charge of handling abortion rights, and to ensure a senile husk is in charge of every major decision for however long he lives into his term. That's the only way Kamala Harris can run unopposed as an incumbent president in 2028 to save democracy.
- We’re this close to enacting the entire republican border policy
  Except it looks like the border policy is shared by both parties. More people are being imprisoned and deported under Biden than were under Trump, but anyone with a modicum of empathy is told to stfu for the sake of a campaign.
- Yeah but all those student loans have been forgiven!... By laws that should have done that years ago
  
  And means-tested to a point of absurdity that's on par with Kamala Harris saying you deserved student loan forgiveness if you're a pell grant recipient who runs a business in a ghetto for three years. It's like them inventing new kinds of mathematics to explain why your COVID stimulus payment is actually what you were supposed to get instead of what your lying tankie eyes see. Liberals are smiling foxes.

Ruh roh, looks like I'm a rUsSiAn BoT because I criticized our genocidal president ¯(⊙︿⊙)_/¯
Arming a genocidal regime and imprisoning and murdering innocent refugees at the southern border is just normal after all, and I just need to be rEaLiStIc becuase it's so hard simply not to commit multiple human rights violations
- Definitely, and what's your thought on the guys from cpac saying they want to end democracy and jan 6th was a good first try?
  Those present and agreeing including members of the last cabinet.
  It's all the same.
  
  End which democracy? We don't have a democracy if my only choice is deciding between two genocidal maniacs
- Quick question: would you pull the lever?
  
  Burn the trolley and rip up the tracks

Collateral damage from drone strikes went up 800% under Trump before his admin stopped reporting that data
- Lmao I don't think anyone's arguing that trump isn't a shithead.
  Point is both are genocidal imperialist parties. The US political system only exists to protect capital and imperialism after all, since its government has been the de facto leader of the imperial core since WW2.
  
  Why the fuck are these people our only two choices? Like can we just stop with the lesser evil bullshit and just pick other people?
  
  You'd be surprised. Seen so many arguing that they should be protesting him too, because it's totally possible trump the deranged sociopath could be swayed.

for Bernie in the 2020 Dem primary
for Biden in 2020 because :vote: Blue No Matter Who
Geriatric Genocide Joe in 2024 because :vote: Blue No Matter Genocide

truly the land of democracy

If we all wrote in ourselves, we couldn't possibly lose. There are so many of us and only two of them!

Yes Mr. Sherman, everything is genocide.

"Hey, do you think, just maybe, that if we stop attacking Israel randomly during peace time, that this wouldn't happen?"
"Nah, that can't be it."
- "Randomly" lmao
  "peace time" lmao
  More like in the middle of having their land stolen, their people dying and kept under poverty for decades, and the few that resist getting killed, tortured and worse, all with the benediction - or at best lip-service against it - of the West
  "Israel" is a colonialist racist project that will be destroyed
  
  lmao. lmfao even
- “Hey, do you think, just maybe, that if we stop attacking Nazi Germany randomly during peace time, that this wouldn’t happen?”
  -You during the Jewish Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.
  Neither were peacetimes of course, but I doubt someone this ignorant would care about that.
  
  Remember when the Jews tried to to destroy Germany, started murdering their neighbors for legally buying land, then launched 70 years of brutal terror attacks against them? Oh wait, none of that happened. Your analogy is terrible. Pre-war Gaza was nothing like Warsaw ghettos, they were marketing it as a tourist destination, they had a fucking zoo.
- Palestine tried the "approved" way before, look what happened to their protests.
- Peacetime is when you're actively occupying another people's land and subjecting the indigenous population to a brutal apartheid regime.
- Have you ever heard the opinions of people who've actually worked in Gaza about the conditions Gazans were living under prior to October 7th, or did history just start when our allies and our government say it started?
  I'd say you're just being disingenuous but I've come to learn some people really are just this stupid.
- i hope you get scalped like those american settlers on the frontier during "peacetime"
