I would break my ribcage and turn my rib bones into bayonets so Hamas can stab more zionazi colonizers

Lesser-evilists when imperial periphery:
Lesser evilers on their way to run defence for a fascist war criminal
Hamas bad because they kill soldiers within a crowd of civilians. Israel and pax americana reign of terror good because they kill civilians that supposedly host terrorists without evidence.
People, especially academics, will read and quote Fanon and then denounce any and all indigenous resistance. Goes to show they have just turned everything into a career.
Some of those people said if it was tossup between hitler or mussolini, they would vote mussolini. I don't know whether they got 0 historical illiteracy or legit believe it, either way they giving the veneer away.
I have a legitimate question. I think I have a hard time understanding the argument that I should not vote for Biden because I am operating under the presupposition that there will inevitably only be one of two outcomes: either Biden or Trump will be president. And within those two outcomes, one is objectively worse than the other. So... Why would I not act to hopefully enable the less bad option from becoming my future?
Both parties are nearly fascist. Both support genocide in Palestine and slaughter at the border. Biden has done more against his supposed promises than for. In the end, I don’t care if you vote. It doesn’t take that long, it won’t matter, and you shouldn’t fret about getting out the vote or something. Energy is best spent outside of electoralism, but you can engage a bit if you want.
"Nearly" fascist is giving those peckerwoods a LOT more leeway than they deserve
At what number of Palestinians does it cross from nearly to fully. I am always wondering but it's all moot. They would run cover for fascists even if the entire global south was gone. "Look I know we wiped out the bolivians, but the lithium we stole (we could have paid for it btw) allowed us to go green and save humanity".
That’s colonialism, not specifically fascism. Liberalism is so bad I don’t know when it ends and fascism begins honestly.
True, the terms signify location and subjects is all, but yes you are correct.
To your question about liberalism and fascism: Aime Cesaire said it best, no difference between a liberal in the colonies and a fascist in Europe.
And how exactly is it better? Both are puppets of capital and will keep the genocide of the Palestinian people and the war in Ukraine moving. Saying the democrats are better is just pure propaganda. After 4 years of presidency, children are still in cages, anti-trans laws are still being passed, working conditions haven't improved at all and Guantanamo bay is still operating... I could go on for ages, but I think you get the idea.
So, how is voting for Democrats any better?
I'm not going to vote for someone giving full-throated endorsement and material support for genocide. If that isn't a red line, nothing is.
To add to what OP said, the takeaway is that people should be taking politics elsewhere, making propaganda, picketing, whatever (of course, it's better under a party, which would organize people in order to achieve some goals, but something, anything, is better than nothing). Electoralism didn't achieve the 8-hour working day.
What is supposed to be the message?
Liberals justify supporting Biden as a “lesser evil” to trump. They show hypocrisy in the Palestinian situation where they can see it’s a genocide but refuse to support the resistance to genocide. Hamas is not only “less bad” than “Israel” (the argument for Biden), Hamas is simply good.
Thanks for the explanation!
You’re welcome
