    In other words, op is proud and open about their willingness to sacrifice Palestinian lives in order to preserve their own comfort and safety under the status quo.

    Anyone who can look at this meme and not only see one option as acceptable, but be proud of this depiction of how “right” they are (in their own minds) to pick the “lesser” (but still) evil, is the embodiment of “scratch a liberal, a fascist bleeds”.

    All to avoid having to do any more than the bare fucking minimum that is voting in this theatre, and getting their pat on the back for being brave antifascists (lmmfao, only in their own minds, of course).

      I get what you mean, but I think the point behind this image is not to say that doing what you call the “bare minimum” is enough, but to try and get more people to actually do that bare minimum.

      Don’t worry - the Terminally Online Leftists will change their tune from “It won’t change the election” to “If Palestine gets genocided by Israel, it’s only fair minorities in the US are genocided too”.

        No amount of whataboutism in the world will cancel out the fact that both parties are actively supporting genocide, no matter how much you wish it did to make yourself feel better about your poor choices ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
