       If your president is actively funding, arming, and supporting a genocide and you call him “a good person” and “a good president”, maybe it’s time to take a good, long look in the mirror and wonder where things went wrong for you and whether you see a path back to reclaiming your humanity.#genocide #israel #palestine #gaza

       @aral the problem for decent Americans is that they don't live in a proper democracy, and have the choice between voting for a flawed president and continuing business-as-usual or choosing (either directly or by voting 3rd party or not at all) a full-throated fascist who will double down in support of Netanyahu, and quite possibly abolish whatever is left of US democracy entirely.

       @aral I don't blame those who support Biden in that environment, because the alternative, as bad as the status quo is today, will be orders of magnitude far worse.

       @danjac There’s a difference between voting for the lesser of two evils because that’s all your flawed democracy lets you do and calling one of the evils “good”.

       @aral it depends on *why* they are calling Biden good. Do they really believe it, or are they just trying to persuade some swing voters not to back Trump?

       @danjac Does it matter. If a person who actively supports genocide is “good”, we need a new word that actually means “good”.

       @aral1984 to the rescue! I submit “double-plus-un-bad” for your consideration.In all seriousness, anyone supporting genocide can’t be called “good”. He may be “marginally less horrible” but not “good”.Also, if a policy position that doesn’t include genocide is too much to ask… I don’t know what to tell you. @danjac
