    The way you (and others in this sub) approach it is very all-or-nothing and very ineffective.

    We should say, "thanks Lizzy for speaking up, we appreciate you and we would ask you to support an arms embargo so that our tax money doesn't go towards killing innocent children".

    This is exactly what the more effective anti-genocide activists are doing.

      You are utterly deranged.

      Look at her record as a senator, not her worthless words. She's done less than nothing to rein in Israel or to help the Palestinian cause. Keep sucking on Lizzy's toes and maybe you will earn enough goodboy points to get her to call Netanyahu a jackass or something. Very moving!

      Me: brings verifiable information to the subject at hand

      You: pivots to personal attacks

      If you were an objective observer of this discussion, which of these two parties would you say failed to avoid logical fallacies/engage in effective activism of their cause?

      The way you're approaching genocide is very "nothing is all." Look at her voting record. Expressing vocally and actually voting are different subjects.

      We should say, "thanks Lizzy for speaking up, we appreciate you and we would ask you to support an arms embargo so that our tax money doesn't go towards killing innocent children".

      Why? It's not bad to speak up, but if nothing is materially changing, it's nothing but vibes.

      This is exactly what the more effective anti-genocide activists are doing.

      Wrong. The more effective anti-genocide activists are Palestine Action, and they are directly sabotaging the tools used to facilitate genocide, not standing and clapping for someone who has voted for genocide for decades.
