If you must vote, don't vote for the people committing genocide. No personal narrative can undo the reality that your vote will reflect what you support. No website link, this aint about self promo.

    Liberals pretend to care about things like genocide but actually don’t. Conservatives dont pretend to care and don’t. I am often not sure who I hate more.

      Sadly both also have groups that revel in it too, considering libs have openly admitted they'll celebrate Palestinian deaths in the event of Trump winning. Libs were going to be utterly useless in any fight against genocide.

      The funny thing about this election cycle is that the candidates are acting the reverse of the stereotype. The liberal candidate can't bother to pretend to care about genocide. The reactionary candidate shamelessly does.

      went with the first number from a well known lib source (the independent) but it's deff higher, the fact that one of the reactions this has gotten is pointing that out is a good thing.

    Just dropped in my ballot. Not that it makes a difference in the grand scheme of things it wasn't for an anti-immigrant-genocider-in-waiting-candidate.

    What these liberal ghouls are allowing to happen in Occupied Palestine triggers both my anger response, and my vomit response.

    I am fully prepared to rage barf as many cans of beans as I am able to eat at some motherfuckers. bean-think
