If voting for Biden is the only acceptable way to register your disapproval of his actually existing genocide, and you believe Trump will do a somehow worse hypothetical genocide, than it stands to reason that voting for Trump should be the only acceptable way to register your disapproval of the “worse” genocide. After all, why should Trump listen to people that will never vote for him?
This is what I’ve been saying to libs recently. I’m just going to vote for Trump (not actually. I just want to shut up liberals). They don’t have a response to that at all, they think it’s unthinkable and there’s no arguing with it. It’s only when you’re an uncommitted leftist is when you owe them votes. Yet under their same metrics, I can easily claim a vote for Trump is strategic to prevent genocide, because maybe then the Democrats would understand my disapproval and change their tune on Palestine (I don’t believe this and also don’t believe presidential elections in the US matter, I’m just fucking sick of smug liberals telling me I must, no matter what, throw in a vote for 150 year old who’s slaughtering Palestinians just because he’s a Democrat)
Hey any libs reading this. Go argue with conservatives about voting for Biden. They outnumber us like 100:1 and are way closer to Biden politically than we are.
I am not going to vote for Trump; I wouldn’t even think about voting for Trump. But objectively, a Biden loss could really put some wind in the sails of the American left and, of course more importantly, get politicians to think twice before engaging in such unbridled imperialism like we see in Gaza right now.
Meanwhile, a Biden win will pretty much erase any meager gains we’ve made in recent years, and the Democrats will take away the lesson that the left, young people, queer people, and even POC to a certain extent can all be ignored. Tell enough reactionary suburban white folks “GOP bad” and that’s all you need to win.
