Democrats need to pull themselves together and remember: Biden is still better than Trump
While rebutting another post here on Lemmy, I ran into this. This says exactly what I want to say.
I am not a friend of Biden's Administration. I think they drug their feet over a variety of things ranging from holding Trump and his goons accountable for January 6th through rulemaking on issues like OTC Birth Control and abortion rights, and yes, I think he's too quick to please big business. But then I remember what the alternative is, and ... well, disappointed in Biden or not, I'm voting for him. Because my wife is a Black bisexual goth woman, four strikes under Team Pepe's tent. And I have my own strikes for marrying her as a White dude, and respecting her right to not have kids since she doesn't want them is another strike against me. And I care about my Non-Christian, Gay, Transgender, and Minority friends, and will never willingly subject them to Team Pepe.
So if you were voting in a first past the post system, and the two leading candidates were Biden and 'everyone gets boiled alive', you would not vote for Biden?
A large number of these people would abstain, and then unironically complain about being boiled alive.
Pretty sure that's how Trump got elected the first time
did ‘everyone gets boiled alive’ materially support a genocide? If no, then I would vote for ‘everyone gets boiled alive’.
Wouldn't boiling everyone alive constitute a genocide?
That's up to the intergalactic council to sort out. I doubt it tho. The rest of the universe is pretty uninterested in us.
The definition of genocide doesn't require authority to be applied. It's like homicide, even without a conviction someone can be a murderer. What Israel is doing doesn't need a ruling by the UN to be called a genocide, which is good because the UN apparently still hasn't made up their mind.
