Don’t think of it from a harm-reduction mindset. If YOU don’t vote for somebody against genocide, then YOU lose to Trump. It’s not on us for having a sense of what is right/wrong in the world.
I didn’t say genocide was on you. Who here has said that??
And why shouldn’t people view this in terms of harm reduction? The women in my life are scared shitless about a federal abortion ban, meanwhile so many leftist men I know completely ignore the abortion side of things and would sooner drape themselves in the Palestinian flag.

Hang on a second, if you’re going to talk about the victims of the abortion ban, then it’s only logically consistent to talk about the Palestinians being genocided, or the Palestinians whose families have bombs dropping on them. Comparing the victims of the abortion ban with not the victims of the genocide, but the people protesting it is being entirely deceptive.
So tell me, what of the Palestinians who have bombs dropping on them or on their families in Gaza; do you think they’re not scared shitless? Do you think they’re less scared than the women in your life?
What that individual is trying to say, but is too much of a coward to say it with their chest, is: The loss of life of a Palestinian is less concerning to me than the pain a white woman might endure.

Now the scared yanks have two options:
I: continue getting their rights taken away by the abusive system they worship
A: Turn on the system that betrayed them and work towards its destruction
I was in that situation once, I took option A.
