I think countries like Israel and the US enacting and enabling a genocide and constantly bombing countries in the middle east has “emboldened countries like Iran” (hmm, I wonder what you meant with that phrasing…). Israel just struck an Iranian embassy last week, and this is retaliation.

“There’s an argument” you have no idea what you’re talking about.

Can I pick something off Disk 2? It’s Bangers + Mash.

The lyrics, Thom’s crazed singing, the way the instruments drop out and back in throughout the verses, the stumbling overlapped drum patterns, the opposing guitars, 1 repetitive and monotonous and the other with a frantic riff…

If we’re talking on the album, it’s Jigsaw Falling into Place. Bodysnatchers, 15 Step, Weird Fishes, and House of Cards are all very close though.

Edit: Did you even read the article you linked? That is Trump telling Israel’s leader that he needs to stop attacking Palestinians. Do you think that’s bad?

I never said or implied that it would be. It won’t be different under Biden either. Which is my point.

Although there is a case to be made about Biden’s long history of gleefully jumping at every chance he gets to murder Arabs over his entire political career.

Do I hate the fact that centrists like Joe Liberman who literally killed universal healthcare in the US are revered and embraced by Biden’s party?

Joe Biden explicitly said he would veto any legislation involving universal healthcare. You oppose universal healthcare, but you’re hiding behind the spectre of “centrists”.

See what’s happening to the Palestinians now under Biden.

I’d rather just not vote for genocide.

Aside from the obvious, that will just be continuing to tell the two parties that nominating genocide supporters is good. You can continue telling your favorite party that you are okay with genocide, but I will not, thank you very much. This is why you are stuck between two genocide supporters. When your chosen party leaves you with a genocide supporter as your only choice, you tell them that’s good.

And you are not going to fight the genocide in any other way, so don’t pretend. Your chosen party is one of the two that ratified bills to make any attempts at boycotts or sanctions illegal.

Also, both candidates are fascists. Look at what’s happening on our Southern border, look at just our recent history in the Middle East, and look at the fascist government committing genocide that we are supporting.

You don’t fight fascism in the ballot box. Every single example in history teaches you that.

I will not be voting for anyone who supports a genocide. That will not change. Now there are two ways to change the outcome.

1. If you are a genocide supporter who wants to be elected, you could stop supporting genocide, and be vocal about it.
2. If you are someone who wants me to vote for your candidate, you could demand that they stop supporting genocide. Or demand that whatever party you like stops nominating people who support genocide.

I will not budge. Will you?
