When there is no option to vote against genocide you turn to the streets. What have you done to stop the genocide? Shame other people for not voting for the party that will continue funding a genocide?
You've got a little under two months to overthrow the government. If your master plan isn't completed by then, the only moral choice is to vote strategically.
Only a small portion of the US needs to go on strike for it to be monetarily catastrophic for the ruling class to continue their strong support for the genocide. So yes, I think that a general strike is way more likely to stop the genocide than convincing people to vote for a party that will continue use their taxes to fund genocide.
Okay, so, like I said, you have a little under two months to complete that. Otherwise? Accept that political power comes with political responsibility.
Okay. Do you agree that calling people who are actually trying to do this fascist is twisted, given the fact that they are actively trying to change fascist decisions by the current US government through historically proven to be effective means?
Please try reading what I say before responding to it.
Yes and I have told you that most of those protesters are the same people who would say that the democrats have not earned their vote. Which means that you are calling them fascists in this post.
The course of action you're referring to is missing a full half of the very short and very readable comment you replied to.
If you aren't going to bother reading what I say, I don't really know why I should continue this conversation with you.
