Imagine the mental gymnastics you have to go through to argue that not voting for a genocidal maniac is privilege. Basically what this person saying is that if you are Palestinian you should vote for and support the person who is actively enabling the genocide of your people because they are afraid of what Trump might do because they themselves might be affected by it. How is that not privilege?
The most effective way of achieving any meaningful change is protesting and holding politicians accountable no matter who is in power. But they're arguing for not doing that. To blindly accept and not protest or even criticize a person enabling genocide. Who cares what you vote for? A single vote doesn't mean shit but standing up and fighting against fascism and genocide is what matters. Not only are many of these liberals privileged they are fucking cowards too.
Dem hardliners have decided the ends (their fake democracy) justify the means (literally genocide). This is not the answer to "What would you have done during the Holocaust" that I wanted. Like what the entire fuck
"If you don't vote for Hitler, Turbo Hitler will win and he'll commit MORE genocide"
God I got so many downvotes for making this exact joke essentially....
They read Martin Niemöller's poem "first they came for the socialists..." and somehow think this doesn't apply to them. Do they think that the precedent that is being set by the genocide of Palestinians can't also apply to the other marginalized groups they pretend to care about?
"Whew, good thing I'm not any of those things in that poem, I'm a liberal, and nazis don't go after liberals, so I'm fine."
This!
If they can genocide 1 group of peoples they can genocide any group of peoples, expecting that party to do anything to stop the right's attack on lgbtq+ peoples is naive to the point of stupidity. If the Republicans really do decide to significantly ramp up their oppression during the next term, the Democrats will not only let them but probably even help them do it.
They read it but never got past the first line
The way this type of libs act, I think they would be accusing us of thinking the "first came for the" doesn't apply to us. To them, it'a vote between "first they came for the Palestinians" and "first they came for the Palestinians but even worse. Also, they're coming for the trans people first as well."
I didn’t expect more but I’m still shocked to see it.
