surely holding my nose and supporting the lesser of two evils every single time i get the chance will lead to an overall gradual improvement in the rotten system instead of reaffirming that anyone seeking elected office doesn't ever feel pressure to improve on important issues

I asked a Palestinian guy and he says he doesn’t know who John Fetterman is, doesn’t care, and that it wouldn’t make a difference anyway. maybe he’s right, idk

your belief that you can vote away the genocide that our government actively supports is endearing, but Profoundly Incorrect; beyond which you are, yourself, materially contributing to palestine's annihilation far more during the other 364 days of the year. the american political system will never permit you to vote against israel's vile apartheid regime, to the exact same degree, frankly, that it will never permit you to vote for it. neither option will ever appear on the ballot, even if they literally do appear on the ballot, because your input on this front is utterly without meaning to a government unalterably committed to the project of oppression, murder, and exploitation the idea that you can stop the systemic butchering of the palestinian people by participating in the very system which perpetrates it is the delusional product of decades of propaganda, propaganda which has infected you with the belief that you live in an actual democracy. there are atrocities whose most marginal edges you may be permitted to chisel away at. this isn't one of them. if i see a potentially successful political candidate who doesn't want to drop white phosphorous on eight year-olds, i will vote for them, exactly the same way that i would vote for a candidate who promises me a unicorn. don't sprain a wrist jerking yourself off too hard for not doing so

~legalize it~ and being pro-union are positive, actionable stances, which is why i think (heavily) critical support of fetterman is at least somewhat justified. i'm deeply pessimistic about his actual commitment to either, and he seems at best a standard issue shitlib otherwise, but a Large Pink Shrek advocating policies which will weaken the carceral state and strengthen workers' rights is okay with me paul_soccer12 posted:thats true im just in a bad mood today i guess sorry if i told you to kill yourself or anything same, sorry i got So Mad. my inability to alter the trajectory of this demon cracker nation leads me to project my feelings of impotence onto others in the form of pathological crybaby rage. d2i

thekeeshman posted:I mean, he won the primary, (and it's not like his opponents were better), so the choice now is the big man or whichever Republican crawls out of the wreckage of their primary. If you'd rather have Dr. Oz then go nuts, but otherwise I don't know what purpose you serve by trying to turn people against him. If you successfully dissuade your friends from voting for him the only person you're helping is Dr. Oz. You’re being a condescending dick, and if you don’t see the value in having informed voters rather than people responding to cults of personality then you are definitely part of the problem.
