Comment on Felonies, gotta catch 'em all

Idk, he’s sponsoring a genocide. I’m pretty sure that counts as war crimes. To be fair it’s not like any US president in the last half century hasn’t been some kind of war criminal.

I mean now that the other guy is a literal criminal it makes it less likely that the genocide sponsor’s refusal to remove his material support for a historically unpopular genocide will make him lose election to the literal criminal, and that’s true. But like, I just want you to understand what it is that you’re celebrating.

I don’t know a stronger way to say that the bar is in hell, but that phrase is so well worn that it’s lost any punch it ever had.

The other guy, the one with 34 felonies, has said he’d help expand the genocide.

How do you miss these things?

  How do you so constantly and completely deflect any and all criticism to the other guy?
  
  I have the answer: because that’s how the two party system works to make you defend the genocide guy.

    There are exactly two options here. It’s either the life long politician that’s actually been walking back support of the genocide, or the conman convict that has proudly stated he would be happy to make the shit even worse.
    
    Gee, I don’t know…

    There are exactly two options with voting. I assume you don’t see any others because your entire political imagination has been contracted to voting.

I don’t believe it’s as unpopular as you think. The one-state (final) solution has been the only acceptable answer for decades, and everyone turned a blind eye to turning Gaza into a prison while “settlers” terraform the West Bank.

The other guy moved his embassy to disputed territory, firmly claiming the whole of Jerusalem for one side. “Their 911” plays a huge part in maufacturing consent in casual observers, and “never again” was always tongue-in-cheek.

Honestly, does anyone still care about the enslavement and cultural destruction of Chinese Uyghurs? How about the Rohingya genocide?

This election comes down to narcissistic boomers who believe the world should die with them. Their pop religion tells them armageddon will happen in their lifetime and the other guy is offering a way to make it happen.

Life has been objectively getting worse for years. The end of the world (or at least the american experiment) is on the ballot - the question is whether enough voters want to burn it all down.
