    They are trying so hard to convince themselves that they are the moral and smart ones for voting in favor of genocide.

    The post is by Kevin M. Kruse - a lib historian.

    Kevin M. Kruse

    Kevin Michael Kruse (born 1972) is an American historian and a professor of history at Princeton University. […] Kruse self-identifies as a liberal, though he has stated that he is “too amenable to compromise and coalition-building to be an avatar of the far left”.

    I guess my comment to him that Biden is a génocidaire wasn’t “coalition-building” enough so he blocked me. Haha.

    “Put your big boy pants on”. What a time to be alive.

    Biden is génocidaire. I will not vote for him.

    Yes, that doesn’t fit your equation. But then again - people who think as I do and will not be pro-génocidaire are not the problem.

    No one has their ideal candidate on the ballot. Put your big boy pants on and vote for whoever you think will move the country in a positive direction.

    THERE IS NO WAY THE AVERAGE CITIZEN CAN PUSH A POLITICIAN IN ANY DIRECTION IF THAT POLITICIAN KNOWS THOSE PEOPLE ARE GUARANTEED TO VOTE FOR THEM NOMATTER WHAT.

    THE ONLY WAY IS TO COMMUNICATE DEMANDS EN BLOC, THREATEN TO WITHHOLD VOTES IF IGNORED, AND FOLLOW THROUGH ON IT.

      It’s kind of incredible to me that libs respond by saying “Don’t let the perfect be enemy of the good on election day,” even on a day when Israel has openly assassinated aid workers.

          Because I opened an account at Bluesky - I occasionally get libs who reply to me with all the crazy lib arguments I haven’t experienced directly. A few hours ago somebody there replied to me with “But Trump would nuke Gaza” take. It’s scary how Trump Derangement Syndrome has destroyed so many lib brains and souls.
