Now that there's reporting that the Biden admin explicitly okayed the aid worker strikes (which is a war crime) I'm not sure that's true. I honestly don't know which side is more evil at this point. At least when W killed a million Iraqis it wasn't EXPLICITLY a genocide for lebensraum. Genocide Joe is probably the worst president of my lifetime, and I've seen some GEMS. Same way I promised during Iraq I would NEVER vote GOP because they are EVIL, I have now sworn off voting DNC, because they are also EVIL and I don't believe in accepting "the lesser of two evils" especially when the "lesser" evil are purveyors of genocide and a level of war crimes we haven't seen since Nixon was funding the Cambodian ethno-communists.

I've been seeing this argument alot this electing cycle. Can you provide an example of a politician that has done committed or supported an action that could be considered "evil"?
Are you PRO genocide? This seems like an insane question.
Do you think that Trump or the Republicans will halt military support to Isreal?
You also have not answered my question. Are you simply not voting because all politicians are just various degrees of evil and voting for any of them will be "accepting 'the lesser of two evils'"?
I am genuinely interested in knowing the point of that statement. Is it to encourage people not to vote?
Are their any other topics that you apply this mentality to or is it just this election?
Edit: To answer your question, no, I do not support genocide. I do however believe in choosing the lesser of two evils when there are no better alternatives.
If you advocate supporting Harris, you advocate for genocide.
I am unwilling to accept genocide as the "lesser" evil. Sorry. Unlike Biden's support for Israel, my support for the DNC actually has red lines.
No need to apologize. You do what you think is best.
Is your intent to not vote or do you have a candidate that you believe will halt the military support of Isreal?
I don't think either will, I think Trump would keep Bibi on a shorter leash though just via emasculation shit. Like if a news source got Trump on record going "Netanyahu won't do X" and he did, Trump would be piiiiiised, but at the same time, I know Epstein was a Mossad operative and Trump was regionally known here around NYC to be into the Klub Kids and like them young, so they probably have blackmail... I am just not willing to do any act materially furthering an act of terrorism,which is a crime
Fair enough.
I personally see our options with Isreal as a no win scenario for the US people. With the "Peace to Prosperity" agreement Trump signed with Isreal without even inviting Palestine to the table, he pretty much announced that his view of peace in the area was the genocide we see happening now. Then Biden pretty much agreed with his military support. I was hoping that I had missed some 3rd party candidate proposing a alternative, but I guess not.
How bad would Trump have to be for you to vote for Harris, then?
He'd need to genocide 200k or whatever the real death count is people, burning children alive, while institutionalizing rape, torture, and the use of starvation as a weapon of war. And murder several US citizens. And aid workers. And UN peacekeepers.
They are both evil.
