       USian liberals, real talk: If Biden were selling arms to a group that had so far killed over 35,000 Americans, including over 15,000 kids, you wouldn’t be telling folks to vote for him. You’d be in the streets demanding he be removed from power. The reason you’re not? Because it’s Brown people on the other side of the world being slaughtered and you, quite frankly, couldn’t give a shit.

       @aral Yeah, just like no white people give one fucking shit that Trump would kill all Black people here.

       @aral Can't people acting in good faith seek a path forward that moves the geopolitics closer to a solution from among the actually available options?It's a binary choice right now between two candidates and nothing is available in the next six months to change that.

       @aral when i showed my partner the book White Fragility and we listened to it together a few months after October 7, 2023, I could only see what is happening to the Palestinians as being a continuation of systemic white supremacy

       @aral Makes sense. By letting Trump into power you will measurably worsen the life of minorities, endenger democracy in the US and weaken world stability. But at least you will save Palestine. No, wait...

       @aral Sorry, I have to disagree.  Once the logic of lesser evilism has taken hold, liberals would vote for Biden to kill 10 million of their neighbors as long as Trump promised to kill 15 million.  They would accuse people who didn't vote of wanting to kill 5 million.

       @aral Neville Chamberlain used similar language about the Czechs, as I recall from my history lessons. Only they were white Europeans. He still thought they could be sacrificed to Hitler - & just look what happened!

       @aran Yes, because that’s exactly what I was saying. “Don’t vote Biden, vote Trump.” was the post. Seriously, just go away.

       @aral ok, so the democratic process has failed - pretty obvious. What are the other options in the short term? Dismantling the government entirely? That seems unlikely, given how much effort and organizing that would take and hard it is to get most people to participate in even the current voting process.

       @aral It’s quite cruel to even ask this question. As a country with only two parties, the US is not really a democracy. You cannot hold one party to account when the only other choice is a party that wants to see the brown people, and queer people, who are your friends and family, eliminated from society, allow companies to pollute the air and water around you, scrap the already meager social safety net, etc. It’s a trolley problem, with brown people on both sides.

       @aral To anybody replying to this post: Aral has not mentioned at any moment who to vote, stop talking about voting and Trump.What I am understanding is that the POTUS is doing something wrong and nobody dares to criticize him and show dissatisfaction to make him change.You can still vote for a candidate and ask for accountability. Heck, maybe changing what he is doing actually helps him win!

       @aral @aran maybe I missed the point of your post but it sounds a lot like you’re criticizing folks for voting for, or advocating for, Biden.

       @markcuban @aral You must have missed the mob assaulting the capitol to overturn the election or immigrants being separated from their children. No worries, I'm sure it will be mentioned in the next Q drop.

       @markcuban @aral Look, I'm not even mad at you.You're obviously, demonstrably wrong, and you resort to insult to fend it off.But It's so predictable it's kinda cute. Mostly, I wonder how to avoid it in futureThis isn't adding anything to my life. I'm not even into politics. But I really dislike this kind of self-defeating "purity" argumentsMaybe I'll skip the talk and donate to some voting rights associationHelping actual n*ggers to the ballot. That would be a sweet answer to both of you

       @aral Just so many people are sickened by the current situation and also don't think a second Trump presidency would make anything better, to be honest
