tldr: they support the Palestinian genocide because it will stop global warming(see below for "details")
this is a bad post.
...
what's your math here?
pro-palestinian protesters vote republican? or don't vote?
i don't see the line you're trying to draw.
The IDF is concluding a genocide that most countries have been complicit in for decades.
people are upset about that and protesting.
you're not making any sense.
UPDATE: this is their math they gave me:
Apparently the hope of OP is that if the genocide against Palestine can be completed, global warming won't be so bad in a few decades.
Not a great post.
OP is making fun of some of the actors here on Lemmy who will go "I won't vote for genocide! I'm voting 3rd party!" Which because of America's broken ass electoral system, will absolutely let Trump win, and we end up with a new Bush + Iraq 2.0, as 3rd party candidates basically helped give Bush the presidency by 200 votes and kicked off two decades of fucking bullshit and ridiculously bad climate policies that will only get worse. Vs Harriss who has thrown a lot of support behind legit climate policies
It's a really obtuse way of posting a "congratulations you played yourself" meme at single issue 3rd party voters
Oh kay, thanks.
I appreciate you shedding some light on the thought process here.
for W, I'd point a lot more to the Supreme Court allowing Florida(run by Ws brother) to stop counting votes again because W was about to lose the count again before I'd blame 3rd party voters.
And gerrymandering.
And voter disqualification/obfuscation.
literally wheeling away voting machines on election day too.
Nah, people voted who they voted for, and that's their right.
there's plenty of much more significant factors to point at without denigrating the right to vote.
and I'm not railing at you, i appreciate the context.
And first past the post voting system which makes any 3rd party other than the biggest 2 parties a troll
great point, fptp can get outta here
yeah all the same its because all of the things you would blame that we can't have republicans have any more power at all and we need to make them extinct from the political landscape. Those blame issues are getting worse when they are in office so we need literally 100% effort to not have them in office.
I agree with conservatives not being in political office as much as i agree that everyone gets to vote who they want to vote for.
which is a lot.
Here, I made you a picture, this seemed like it'd be more your speed, if you had trouble following that argument.
you think israel should complete their genocide...and the genocide of palestine will improve global warming.
your critical reasoning and your regular reasoning is critically flawed and objectively inaccurate.
I don't feel like retyping my last comment, so just click my name and read my most recent one.
i read it, seems completely irrelevant to the topic.
you should slow down, your post and comments are not making any sense.
It's not a hard argument to follow. The problem might be on your end.
not hard to follow, and not correct.
a palestinian genocide does not prevent millions of climate-related deaths.
I think there's definitely some miscommunication here, rather than just misinterpretation. I don't think Varyk is in opposition to your essential point.
