C'mon enlightened lefties! Come on and tell me how you won't be voting for genocide and we should follow so the Democrats figure out through losing the election that they should court lefties. Nevermind we get 4 years of, "he's doing a good job" as long as Democrats learn to denounce genocide.
C'mon you fucking cowards, get in here and sell me on how Trump winning helps solve your single issue voting on genocide.
I'm voting for Harris. She shouldn't be supporting genocide and neither should you.
Absolutely no disagreement there. I don't condone genocide, and think we should do something about it but I'm not foolish enough to think not voting for the lesser of two evils accomplishes this. We are in agreement.
Nor am I. Unfortunately, there are plenty of people on lemmy who are so pro-genocide that they cannot abide any criticism of it, no matter how mild. These people immediately assume that anyone who has any misgivings at all about Democrats supporting Netanyahu's genocide must be a trump supporter.
I'm looking forward to October 21, when early voting opens in Texas, so I can vote for Harris. That doesn't mean I must remain silent about genocide.
No one here is pro-genocide. It’s all in your head as a defense mechanism to use against people that disagree with you.

Just scroll a bit.
Don't gaslight.
Hey bud, genocide denial isn’t genocide support. And while I truly believe genocide is happening, (mods- take note that I said this as I’m certain they’re reporting me for genocide denial)…
there will always be other people out there who try and define things by their own terms. This doesn’t make them right- but we all know your false equivalence has no filter, or ability to discern the difference between the two.
If someone says “I don’t have cancer” when they have cancer, that doesn’t make them pro cancer. It’s just makes them in denial.
In short- saying that it is’t genocide isn’t saying they would support it if it were. And it’s well known that you constantly accuse everyone that calls you out as a genocide supporter. So since we’re handing our advice….
Maybe don’t do that.
It absolutely is.
So you admit then, that Palestinians committed an act of genocide against Israel on Oct. 7.
And don't deny it's a genocide, cause you know what that means.
And I should specify that no, I don't seriously take that position. I'm really just here to be an asshole about faulty logic.
So you're openly admitting to trolling.
Nope, I'm an anti-troll. Trolling is trying to provoke an emotional reaction. I'm trying to provoke a logical reaction.
Bravo! Love this. Well done my man.
Ok. Let's say Hamas committed genocide.
We're not arming Hamas.
So it seems that with you, it’s not about the genocide, it’s just about America being involved. Because frankly, I never see you standing against Russia and their genocide. Is it because America is on the side you prefer in that conflict?
We're not supporting Russia's genocide in Ukraine, either.
I'm not upset about how the US is handling Ukraine, except that they're not supporting Ukraine enough.
Make your accusations overtly if you're going to lie about me for opposing Netanyahu's genocide.
Hate to break it you you, but… We aren’t supporting genocide anywhere. You need a new bit. This broken record genocide accusation thing is old.
There's a genocide going on in Gaza, for which we are supplying weapons. That's support.
We’d be supplying those weapon if there wasn’t genocide happening. Which means we’re only honoring an agreement.
Israel would be continuing their genocide with or without America being involved.
I REALLY wish you people would pay attention some time.
And when the genocide started, we had a moral obligation to cease. And a legal one under the Leahy law.
And you prefer with.
"you people"?
Yawn….
I’m not going to argue this with you. Just call me a “gEnoCiDe sUpPoRtEr” and begone.
Would you prefer a genocide denier, since you're pretending they're not the same thing?
Did you purposefully ignore that I said in my comment that I absolutely agree that it’s happening?
See?
It’s so easy to get you to prove the accusations against you. You know I didn’t deny shit and anyone that can read can see that, yet you accuse anyway in an obvious display of bad faith trolling.
Genocide denial is genocide support. Particularly in cases where an obvious genocide is taking place. Not all genocide support is genocide denial.
If someone says “I don’t have cancer” when they have cancer, that doesn’t make them pro cancer. It’s just makes them in denial.
Also… it’s amazing how quickly your comments are upvoted after you post. In a discussion chain that began 12 hours ago and was only recently updated. Seems it’s perfect timing for your support to swoop in. Also, it’s uncanny how often this happens to you.
Hmm.
You're whining that I get meaningless upvotes now.
Keep pretending that no one on lemmy supports genocide in the face of evidence to the contrary.
K. Bye!
