      So you have no domestic policies you care about? Like being able to vote against genocide in the future? Cause Trump has a lot of policies in mind that would seem to prevent doing anything about that later down the line.

      I can’t even call it shortsighted because it’s not like the other option is even going to help things short term. If anything the other option is just going to be even worse. So I don’t really get the stance other than a nihilistic “let everything burn” response.

      Better than not voting and ending up with a lot of genocide… Or maybe you want to go tell the people of Gaza that you’re an accelerationist and just had to let things become worse in order for them to potentially get better?

        I see… Voting in support of the current genocide is an act of compassion. Right.

        As if voting blue, red, or not at all are the only options. I’m voting for the person who I decide deserves my vote. Not in support of the status quo.
