    Vocal participation in a genocidal system is endorsement of it. You can’t tell people to vote for one of the parties of Capital one year and then suddenly tell people that actually it needs to be overthrown and think that’s going to happen 5 years later.

    At some point you have to commit to it being “broken” (actually working as intended of course) and organize based entirely on the fact that it is and can not be supported in any way whatsoever. We’re long past that point with the “lesser evil” party currently committing genocide.

    Successful revolutions in the past have used elections primarily as a way to show the size of the movement, never by endorsing a party of Capital. Specially not one committing a genocide.

    put sanctions on Israeli settlers

    To pretend like it’s not state-supported settler colonialism and just an individual thing, and he even walked that back lmao. You’d expect the supposed “lesser evil” candidate to do the bare minimum of stopping all relations with “israel” when it’s committing a genocide in full view of the world.

    freeze military aid to Israel

    Biden bypasses congress to send weapons to the israel faster

    (this one and a “why voting is a bad idea if you are a left wing person” video) the logic of which doesn’t make a whole lot of sense if you take it at face value […] With no particular other solutions to offer

    Easy to tell you didn’t even watch the video lol

    The answer is to organize, since you don’t seem to have the patience to watch a video, seeing as how you put it through fucking chat gpt lmao. Why are you trusting shitty LLMs with political stuff?

      I actually have no issue with almost everything in the video. I copied out the transcript and then skimmed it, not wanting to give dangerous disinformation any views. It sounded like a pretty 100% accurate breakdown of why the antisemitism bill is horrifying; pretty much my only issue with it is the weird sudden 90 degree turn it takes into blaming the whole thing on Biden.

      The strategy it’s implicitly advocating for as a response to the bill, just like your “you have to commit to it,” is going to potentially make forward left wing progress almost impossible in the US for quite some time, if Trump wins, as well as get a whole bunch of people killed who didn’t need to die. Ukrainians, Palestinians, Americans, and a bunch more. Maybe even you, too, if you live in the US and ever plan to take part in a protest after January 2025.

      You can dress it up however makes you feel better about that outcome.
