Politics have consequences. When elected politicians vote to arms ongoing genocide, people die. When elected politicians vote to deny people healthcare, people die. Politics and its consequences is inherently violent.

And what did the Republicans do?
"uh I didn't vote for the fascists, I voted for the party that tolerates the fascists, failed to put up any kind of real opposition to the fascists, and lost an election to the most obviously incapable candidate of all time . . . And who then handed power over peacefully to the fascists while spewing platitudes about how important it is to work peacefully with the fascists. And who also have 95% of the same goals as the fascists just with a progressive coat of paint. And that is totally different and makes me the adult in the room" you would have been totally on board with appeasement.
And what should I have done? Of the options I had, what was the right choice?
.. walked down the carpet that was liad out for them? This isn't the own you think it is
Not every question is meant to be an "own". But you're a child so what can I do?
Here we see a liberal being as condescending to us as they are to their colonial subjects
Continued the genocide the Democrats helped start and sustain
Well you guys can storm the capital whenever you feel like it and make the sweeping changes that are needed! It's that easy.
You don't care about Palestinian lives whatsoever, do you?
I do. I care about the damage I and my country inflicts on the world. I'm not sure why you would think otherwise when all I said was this community of edgy teens wanting violence isn't effective.
was that a no, you don't care about Palestinian lives?
"Anyone who disagrees with me is just a child" lmao fuck off
Hey dawg I don't care how you slice your genocide support, only that you eat it
I don't support genocide, at least not actively, but I'm not delusional enough to think the Republicans are the lesser of 2 evils.
If you're an American and you pay taxes you killed innocent children.
Right, hence the "if"... It's clear to see why you guys aren't effective.
