Do you really think Biden and Trump are equally bad? Because that is appalling. As much as I hate Biden just... no. They're not equally bad. And your posts are discouraging people from voting. You're not helping the leftist cause.
To the people of Palestine, yeah, there is and basically never has been any difference between republican or democratic candidates. Both parties are colonial capitalists ravaging the global south. Both uphold the zionist occupation.
What I said in the post was that if your political strategy includes voting for people who actively take part in genocide abroad because their domestic policies here are beneficial to you, then you are going to have to understand that colonized people are not going to see you as someone who is capable of real solidarity, and you’re going to have to be able to sit with that. At the very least, if you claim to vote blue because you think that you can more effectively pressure democrats into not committing genocide, then you had better be prepared to put that pressure on and never ease up, bc that’s our responsibility.
