Voting for genocide will never be the progressive choice.

It will never be harm reduction.

It will never be the lesser evil.

It will never be logical.

It will never be protective.

It will never be moral.

It will never be excusable.

It will never be justifiable.

It will never be forgivable.

It will never be the only choice.

Do not vote for Genocide Joe Biden and pretend that you have no other choice. Do not vote for Genocide Joe Biden and pretend that you're doing it to protect minorities. Do not pretend it's the best option available to you or anyone else. Do not pretend you're antiracist, antifascist, anticolonialist, antibigotry. You cannot vote in explicit approval of genocide for all the history books and politicians to remember and pretend you're doing it for the greater good.

You are not "protecting democracy" by telling every single politician alive now, and will be born in the future, that genocide is acceptable behavior and won't lose them any standing in the polls.

You are not protecting anyone by voting in support of genocide. Not even yourself. You're just too fucking racist to give a shit about anyone but yourself, and your precious illusion that you are more worthy of the privilage of life than anyone else.

the same people who say you have to vote blue to stop imminent fascism have completely normalized genocide, by the way.

[describe-things]

Homonationalism will not save you. You cannot fucking threaten Queer people with being put in concentration camps unless we vote for your favorite genocidaire and call yourself an ally to anyone except white supremacy and genocide.

Do not fucking vote for the man literally comitting genocide right now and then pretend you're doing it because you care about Queer people. You are literally just a white supremacist who only cares about yourself and other privileged white Americans.

If you vote for the man literally comitting genocide right fucking now, you are a fucking fascist pig, and no excuses will save you from this truth.

If you're willing to stand behind the US Govermnent's fascism when it's targeting people who aren't American, you are literally dooming any fucking hope of liberation for anyone. You cannot fucking support genocide and wash your hands of the consequences.

[walks-the-ages]

Genocide Apologists will literally be out here saying "A vote for third party is a vote for Trump" as a half-assed guilt trip and then when that fails to convince someone who knows how math works, they instead say "Jill Stein and Cornell West are a joke and incompetent , instead, you're better off voting for RFK Jr" -- you know, the millionaire antivaxxer who made his fortune and fame off getting kids killed and profiting the whole "autism is caused by vaccines" myth even before the Covid-19 pandemic???

Then in the next breath they'll say "These people are just virtue signalling and are going to doom democracy."

Ah, so they're literally say the quiet part out loud: you think caring about an ongoing genocide is virtue signalling?

Blocking these people is an endless game of wack-a-mole, as they each pop up with the same, tired guiltrips or deliberate misinformation, when they're not outright defaulting to saying "anyone who says not to vote for Biden is a russian bot" , which these people KNOW is not true but are deliberately starting a disinformation campaign which they've even admitted to.

Blue Maga wonders why people refer to them as such, but these people are out here saying out loud that Palestinians are acceptible sacrifices for them to retain some sense of security under a continued Biden regime, and that none of these people are actually impacted by Biden's continued actions and they don't give a shit about anyone but themselves.

Anyways, if you're like me and can barely pay rent let alone buy groceries, don't forget you can still help Palestinians by boosting their voices, and clicking daily!

If you are spiraling and don't know what you can do this November, look into third party canidates, and in particular, the Green Party.

[rjalker]

the blue fascists now crying "Chinese spies!!!" alongside "Russian psyops!!!" because they somehow think that adding more racism to the mix will make their racism lessen somehow sure is something.

not reblogging to feed the trolls or whatever but @describe-things please get those pride flags the fuck off of your profile if you actually care so little about queer people and the like by not voting in support of them

[ID: A screenshot of the reply showing the text above. End ID.]

@notfriendlyhougen "stop letting people make their art accessible if you don't support genocide"

ok fascist. You really think you can use Queer people as an excuse to support genocide. You're really that dedicated to pinkwashing genocide to uphold white supermacy you're gonna get mad that I provide people with accessability tools. Do you not understand how pathetically racist and queermisic this is?

You cannot fucking claim you support Queer people if you're going to use our existance to uphold genocide. You are not supporting Queer people by using us as a bludgeon with which to uphold white supremacy and genocide.

Legitimately what has to be wrong with you to make a statement like this. "stop providing people with accessibility tools if you won't support genocide"

Yeah, no, that's not how this works. You do not get to use Queer people to support genocide.

None of us are free until all of us are free. You cannot fucking sacrifice Palestinians or anyone else to win "freedom".

You racist fascist shitheads do not get to pinkwash genocide and pretend that Queer minorities are the "real villains" when we refuse to play your fascist racist genocidal game.

What part of "Queer as in free Palestine" do you not understand.

I am lesbian and transgender. I am a working-class, secular Jewish socialist. So let my first words be these: I stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Arab and Muslim people in this room and around the world in the battle against the real axis of evil: the White House, Pentagon and Justice Department. And with every breath and every sinew, I fight for Palestinian liberation.

-Leslie Feinberg at the Al-Fatiha international retreat in Washington DC in the spring of 2002

@notfriendlyhougen you will never get Queer liberation without Palestinian liberation. White Supremacy and Genocide will never pave the way for Queer liberation.

Don't you fucking dare tell actual Queer fucking minorities that we're harming ourselves by giving a shit about people suffering literal gods damned genocide. Don't you fucking dare try to use us as a weapon to silence opposition to white supremacy and colonization.

Voting for Genocide is never voting for the rights of Queer people. And the fact that you want to pretend otherwise just goes to show how despicably fucking evil you've allowed yourself to become.

You want to pretend you care about Queer people but you really only mean Privileged White American Queers. You don't give a single shit about anyone else.

Just fucking say you want to go back to brunch and leave fucking Queer people who actually have morals out of your fucking excuses for why you think it's okay to uphold colonialism, white supremacy, and literal out and out genocide.

There is no Pride in genocide. You cannot fucking weaponize us to support genocide.

I hope you spend every waking moment of the rest of your life suffering in shame for what you've done and what you're going to do.

Don't you fucking dare pretend you care about Queer people when you're fine with them being slaughtered on live TV as long as you think it'll benefit you.

You are not taking a stance for Queer rights. You are willingfully and proudly supporting genocide and white supremacy. And you do not get to fucking weaponize Queer people to justify it.

The fucking gall to demand I stop providing people with accessability tools because I refuse to support genocide. Do you have any fucking clue how absurdly racist and queermisic you are?

[describe-things]

Plain text: "Okay y'all, going forward, this is what we're doing."

how many times do Palestinians have to beg for people not to reward Genocide Joe Biden for comitting genocide against them only for you racist fucks to ignore them every single gods damned time because the only people you care about are yourselves?

[Image description start. The three panel, “Do you think Margaret Thatcher had girl power” meme, now edited so that the first panel shows the TV host asking: “Do you think you are protecting democracy by voting blue no matter who?” The second panel shows someone responding, “Yes, of course.” Panel 3 has the TV host asking, “Do you think you are protecting democracy by announcing to all politicians who will ever exist from now on that they can commit as many genocides as they want and they’ll still get elected because you literally don’t care what they do as long as they don’t do it to you?”. Image description end.]

"Don't panic!!! Just vote to continue genocide!!!" is not the antifascist statement you think it is. You should all be ashamed to the depths of your souls for deciding that Palestinians should just be thrown away in order to protect your own privileges.

If you literally choose to vote for Genocide Joe Biden you are a fucking white supremacist fascist.

You would literally rather sacrifice Palestinians and any other minorities who get in your way than even think about losing some of the privileges that the United States history of genocide has won you.

You cannot fucking pretend this country is a democracy worth fighting for while you insist that there's just no other option than voting for Genocide Joe Biden, the man literally comitting genocide right fucking now, and Donald Trump.

Either you think this is a democracy, or you don't. You literally cannot have it both ways. And if your entire argument is that poeple have ~no choice~ but to vote to continue genocide....

Congrats. You've admitted that this is not a democracy and you're actually 100% in love with fascism as long as you think it'll benefit you and stop you from becoming one of the gross Poor Oppressed Minorities of the world.

You literally cannot fucking demand that people support genocide and pretend you're doing it for the sake of minorities. You very clearly do not give a shit about anyone but yourself if you're okay with genocide and are okay with telling every single politician who exists right now, and will exist in the future, that they can commit as many genocides as they want and they'll still have your vote as long as they don't target you personally.

Okay y'all, going forward, this is what we're doing.

Shit's scary, I know. But we absolutely cannot afford to surrender to that fear, because that benefits the GOP. They want us to feel powerless, because they know we are not powerless. That's why they have so many shills and bots discouraging people from voting.

We will not demoralize ourselves and each other by doomposting in our moments of panic. If we have a panic attack, that's okay. But we are not going to spread that fear to other people in public. We will save our most scared thoughts for our private journals and close friends. And we will support our friends who are feeling hopeless.

We will remember that spreading awareness of Project 2025 and Agenda 47 has been hurting Trump. And we will continue to do this.

We will remember that right now, our only option is Biden, because without ranked choice voting, getting a third party candidate in is simply impossible. We might not like it, but that's why we're going to push like hell for ranked choice voting once we get his pruny old ass in to office for a second term. (And thank God, he can't have more than a second term; the Democrats will have to find someone else afterward.)

We will not spread conspiracy theories. Conspiracy theories are the weapon of the enemy. We don't need them.

We will not publicly mock Trump in all of this. Making Republicans feel even more victimized is a losing strategy. "But it's my blog-" I'm sorry, are you playing for political keeps or are you just here to fuck around and put everyone's life in even more danger?

We will emphasize the ways that Project 2025/Agenda 47 will hurt everyone. And we will keep talking about it.

We will remember that the UK and France have already avoided far right takeovers in their elections.

All right? You got that? Because we got this if we stick together and keep at this. Shit's bad right now but that doesn't mean it has to be bad forever. We got each other, and we can do this.

[rjalker]

The Vote Blue Fascists literally hate third party voters and non-voters more than they do Trump supporters because they know that the people voting third party and withholding their vote in protest are in fact the most vulnerable people in their communities, so it's easy to attack us, but the Trump supporters are the people with actual power and influence, so they won't even pretend to do anything about that. No, they'll just go online and tell the most vulnerable people in this country, including Palestinian Americans, that we should kill ourselves for not voting in explicit support of genocide.

ok fascist

I'm not even American but I need to vent.

I assure you Americans that elections and politics suck worldwide, and not just for you. Save from a few cases here and there, candidates are always either too old, too shady, or just too stupid.

But more than candidates, you are voting for their policies.

It's your duty to vote for the better or just the lesser evil policy among them.

The "two sides are equally awful" is seldom true and it's just a lie to excuse passivity.

You have a duty for your marginalized folks and yourself to make your society better or at least stop it from getting worse.

Biden has quite a interesting history of progressive policies done, while Donald Trump is just a convicted fellow, darling of white supremacy, and the god of religious freaks.

There's no place on Earth where these candidates are the same.

Even if your hate Biden based on his softness with the current Far-right government of Israel, Trump is cherished by Israel far-right, is deeply Islamophobic, and even use Palestinian as an insult. He will be even worse for Palestine.

You have to vote, you have to exercise your civic duties. The two parties aren't the same and saying that is just an excuse for passivity.

It won't fix the world I assure you. There will still be things to be one. You still will have to protest, to get involve with politics, to help good policy be made and set in motion. But just voting is the first, and most important step for it.

if you vote for the man literally committing genocide as you are reading this post you're fashist. Sorry youre more offended by being called what you are choosing to be than you are of the knowledge that you're knowingly voting to continue genocide. Get some fucking morals anout it instead of crying about a hypothetical potential future White Genocide in my inbox.

[describe-things]

ok fascist

You racist fucks just keep pretending that it's a privilege not to vote because you've never listened to or thought about indigenous people for five seconds in your whole lives.

You won't even admit Genocide Joe is comitting genocide but you still want to pretend you're a good person who cares about anyone but yourself.

One is a convicted criminal that wants to institute a dictatorship “on day one only” (with majority support from his party!), would give a greenlight to Project 2025, use a weakened Schedule F to install THOUSANDS of cronies, was just given immunity for “official acts” (what counts as “official”? whatever his Project 2025-instituted judges want, of course), wants to institute military tribunals for his enemies (and allies!), will 100% support Russia in wiping Ukraine off the map, will use the combo of the removal of the Chevron deference/the Supreme Court allowing people to openly bribe them/Schedule F to extend the far-right’s reach into every government agency and deregulate everything to the benefit of his rich capitalist buddies, has already taken away so many freedoms from racial minorities/queer people/women/anyone-that-isn’t-a-rich-white-man that it would take hours to list them all in this post, and so so so so SO MUCH MORE.

The other is Joe Biden.

Remember also, you’re not just choosing a president, you’re choosing his cabinet, potential Supreme Court justices, federal employees as well. With Project 2025 ALONE, Trump would do so much more damage than just what he can do himself. That’s not including everything else his Federalist Society Supreme Court would and have given him on a silver platter.

Project 2025 really deserves a part to itself just to list some of what it includes: complete abortion/contraceptive ban (no exceptions), destroying worker’s unions and protections, remove Social Security/Medicare/Affordable Care Act, eliminate the ENTIRE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, end civil rights protections in government, ban teaching the history of slavery, remove climate protections while gutting the EPA, end equal marriage and enforce the “traditional family ideal”, use the military to gun down protests, mass deportation of legal immigrants (especially Muslims), ending birthright citizenship, pack the lower courts, and plenty more. The far-right wasn’t able to take full advantage of Trump’s presidency the first time since it was so unexpected. They’re preparing so that they won’t make the same mistake again. THERE ARE OVER 900 PAGES OF POLICIES AND PLANS THAT THEY ABSOLUTELY WILL IMPLEMENT IF THEY WIN. READ IT.

Not to mention, if you care about Palestine (like I do, a lot), Trump would be MUCH WORSE for Palestine than Biden, supporting Bibi going “from the river to the sea” and already cut off millions in aid to Palestine in 2018 (which Biden reversed!). If you support a free Palestine and don’t vote blue, you have categorically hurt them more than if you did. There is no quick and bloodless peace deal that both Palestine and Israel would ever agree to. The road to an end of the Palestine-Israel conflict is going to be long and difficult, probably decades of dedicated de-radicalization in both states, and will involve far more than one person’s decisions in the end. Unless Trump takes power, and avoids all that by sending enough bombs to turn the Gaza Strip into dust.

There are a few reasons you would choose to vote third party in a FPTP system (support ranked choice voting btw) or not vote “in protest” while ignoring all the state and local elections that affect your area more than the president. Either that you’re privileged enough to not be affected by what Trump would bring, you’re ignorant of the consequences, or you care more about doing nothing perfectly rather than doing something, anything that isn’t 100% ideologically “pure” to fight against the far-right fascist movement.

Every voter that still supports Trump is energized by every cruelty he enacts, while thousands of Democrats care more about purity tests and manifesting socialist revolution tulpas than avoiding a fascist dictatorship.

Have a brain, touch grass, and vote blue all the way down that fucking ballot.

blue fascists really think that they can redefine fascism to not include them even when they're screaming from the rooftops that we should all be happy to support and commit genocide, and if we refuse to support genocide, then we deserve to be publically executed and put in concentration camps and they'll laugh at us when it happens.

ok fascist

When protesters marched in Washington after the killing of George Floyd, Donald Trump asked General Milley why the troops couldn’t just shoot them, suggesting maybe just “in the leg.”

Milley replied that he could not, because that would be illegal.

The Supreme Court has now ruled that it no longer will be, at least certainly not for the President to order it. And he can pardon the general that carries it out, and fire the ones that refuse.

If that doesn’t scare you, then I guess you can keep talking about stupid things like taking Biden off the ballot. If it does, then maybe focus on making sure it doesn’t happen, pressuring for Supreme Court reform, and saving this fucking country.

[describe-things]

genuine question abt your don’t vote blue post, I’m asking in good faith:

the USA is a 2 party system. most people will vote republican or democrat bc that’s just how it works there. so if Biden doesn’t win then Trump definitely will and he is a Real, Actual Fascist. the Textbook Definition of one. and he’s got the entire republican party to back him up. like, just as examples, look up project 2025 and its policies. if Trump & the republicans win, what happens then?

again, I’m purely asking this out of confusion, I’m still forming my opinion on this and trying to understand your side, please do feel free to ignore this ask if you want /genuine

Assumedly in reference to this post. (Archived link)

Let's start here:

then Trump definitely will and he is a Real, Actual Fascist. the Textbook Definition of one.

Joe Biden is literally committing genocide right now as you read this response. Think about why you have decided Trump is a "Real Fascist" but the man literally, at this moment, comitting genocide, isn't.

Genocide Joe is literally comitting genocide as we speak. Do you think comitting genocide is only a fascist action when it's happening to privileged white Americans?

If so, how about...the Covid19 crisis? Which Joe Biden has actively allowed to worsen? Lots of Americans, both privileged, white, and not, have died as a direct result of Biden's refusal to protect the public from Covid19 by brushing it all under the rug as soon as he could to pretend it was all Trump's fault.

Genuinely sit and ask yourself why you consider Trump a fascist, but not Biden, even though Biden has been openly and happily comitting genocide against Palestinians for over a year now. Ask yourself why you only think Trump qualifies as a fascist.

if Trump & the republicans win, what happens then?

What's happening right now to everyone who's not a privileged white American?

Biden is committing genocide. He has poured billions into arming Israel. He has purposefully allowed eugenics practices to become normalized and has done nothing to slow or prevent the spread of Covid19, instead choosing the exact same tactic Trump did -- deny, deny, deny. Just like he denies the genocide that Israel is comitting against Palestinians.

Nothing good will be accomplished by voting for Genocide Joe Biden. The only thing that will be accomplished by voting for him is telling every single politician, both current and future, that you are okay with genocide.

You will be telling them all loud and clear that they can do anything they want, kill as many people as they want, commit as many war crimes as they want and be as blatantly fascist as they want, as long as they have a scapegoat on the other team to claim is "worse".

Palestinians are begging people not to reward the man comitting genocide against them. Indigenous people everywhere are begging people not to reward the man comitting genocide against Palestinians. Queer people, disabled people, poor people, every minority you can imagine in both the US and outside of it, is begging you not to reward Genocide Joe for comitting genocide.

Instead of asking what would happen if Trump won, ask yourself what would happen if Biden won.

What do you think will happen if the American public loudly declares for all the world to hear that genocide is perfectly normal and acceptable?

Do you think this'll convince politicians not to commit genocide? Do you think this'll convince politicians to be less fascist? Do you think this'll convince politicians to treat minorities like people with fundamental rights?

Telling politicians that you're going to support them unquestionignly even when they literally commit genocide for all the world to see is not going to do anything to protect you or anyone you care about. The only thing it will accomplish is encouraging politicians to keep playing this game of "well at least I'm not the other guy!" even harder.

You will protect no one by voting for Genocide Joe. Not even the privileged white Americans. The only thing supporting genocide accomplishes is ensuring that the world becomes a worse place for everyone.

Do not vote for the Leopards Eating People's Faces Party and then be surprised when they turn on you.

Just because the Democrats and Republicans scream from the rooftops that it's impossible for any other party to win does not mean you need to believe them. Insisting that it's impossible for a third party to win is exactly what prevents third parties from winning. You'll never move forward if you refuse to even try taking a single step.

Trump is going to keep running for President until he dies. And when he dies, there will be another boogeyman in a red hat to take his place. This game of "vote blue no matter who, because the other guy is worse" will go on until this empire falls unless people refuse to keep playing.

You can vote third party. You can protest vote. You do not have to vote for the fascist in the red hat or in the blue hat just because they tell you they're your only options.

You have to choose whether or not you're going to support genocide. Any vote for Joe Biden is explicitly a vote for genocide, and it will go down in history as such. Everyone's actions now will be remembered. You will either be one of the people who voted to continue genocide, or you will be one of the people who did the right thing.

If you consider yourself antifascist, if you consider yourself a good person, if you consider yourself anti-colonialist and anti-racist, then you cannot vote for Genocide Joe. Voting to explicitly endorse genocide, which is what voting for Genocide Joe is, is completely and utterly incompatible with being antifascist.

Trump does not have some mystical quality innate to his soul that makes him "A Real Fascist" while Joe Biden somehow doesn't.

Joe Biden is committing literal genocide right now. He is fascist. And so is everyone who votes for him.

Do the right thing, and do not vote for genocide. Do literally anything else. Do not let this system keep you trapped in a loop of "but the other guy is worse, we promise" forever. Because it will never end.

You have to break the system, because it's fucked beyond repair. It was designed that way from the start.

Anything you're afraid of Trump doing, Biden is already doing and has been since day 1. Ask anyone who's not a privileged white person.
