    No. There is no moral responsibility to vote for someone who hasn’t earned that vote. That’s a construct meant to remove the politician’s responsibility to their constituents. An Astroturf by the donor class to protect their influence. Stop doing their work for them. They don’t care about you beyond how much money you can make them.

      Oh, cool, there’s no moral responsibility to protect your fellow citizens. Fuck those minorities, herd 'em into camps; Biden didn’t earn MY vote, right?

      You lot are indistinguishable from fascists in practical effects.

        Hi, I’m part of a minority that Donald trump and his sycophants would love nothing more than to herd into camps or eliminate entirely.

        Your argument sucks. Calling everyone fascists who doesn’t want to vote for your guy isn’t going to convince anyone to vote for your guy. Are you trying to convince people Democrats are bad?

          Playing asspat games with Very Serious People who want to see Donald Trump elected to ‘get back at’ the evil shitlibs isn’t going to convince anyone to vote against fascism. If you’re fine with letting people spew pro-fascist rhetoric, I mean, I guess I’ll see you in the camps; but personally, I’d like to avoid that fucking fate.

            Oh my goodness, you truly think every person who doesn’t vote for Biden is actively rooting for Trump, don’t you? Okay, have a nice day.

              “I wasn’t rooting for Trump, I was just sitting by doing absolutely nothing, not even the bare minimum, because genocide doesn’t matter to me!” doesn’t really have a better ring to it than “I was rooting for Trump”.

        Where’s his moral responsibility? Why am I the only one with a moral responsibility? Where’s the moral responsibility of his base? Where’s your moral responsibility? Is it okay with genocide as long as it’s over there? It’s okay over there but here crimes a magnitude lower suddenly become a moral imperative?

        You have no morals.

          You aren’t. You’re just the only one with control over your own actions.

          Where’s your moral responsibility?

          The same place as every other citizen’s?

          Is it okay with genocide as long as it’s over there?

          It’s not okay with genocide. Unlike your sense of morality, it regards “More genocide” as a BAD position to take.

          It’s okay over there but here crimes a magnitude lower suddenly become a moral imperative?

          lmao, what. Tell me more about how murdering minorities here in the USA is a crime “a magnitude lower” than murdering minorities in Israel. Real telling what you think about non-white Americans and GSMs.

          You have no morals.

          Coming from someone advocating for the deaths of both more Palestinians AND American minorities?

          lmao

            Yup the occasional murder by racist is 100 percent comparable to a man made famine and campaign of ethnic cleansing by military units.

              So that’s what you think the next Trump term is going to be? Just the “occasional murder by racist”?

              I can’t believe you crave genocide this badly.

                  Still no evidence of any genocidal plans.

                  Thanks for confirming your position regarding Trump and genocide. :)
