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.

    I should get to vote for a candidate that 100% aligns with my desires.

    I'm not American, but if I was I'd hope to get a candidate that aligns with at least some of my desires. So far Biden has done nothing to further leftist causes, nor has he protected people from the right-wings draconian policies. Not to mentioned he has funded genocide, war and imperialism. The dude might as well be a Republican.

    Real good look for your so called democracy when you're expected to vote for a candidate you don't want.

      Yeah this is what I try explaining to liberals and they don't get it. None of what Biden proposed aligns with my values. Not even the stuff he says about LGBTQ people or people or color because I don't believe he actually cares or is fully compentent to do anything good. Nothing of his platform is good, It's all genocide, conservative stuff, or lies. So why would I want someone who is working towards 0% of what I want?
