Nonsense. This is just twisted logic. It may give you false comfort for helping unleash this nightmare, and getting a whole bunch more of the people you profess to support killed, but it is either foolish nonsense or deliberate purity trap trolling.

Biden went out of his way to enable a horrific genocide against the Palestinians. Trump is buiding on that and has given an even looser leash to Netanyahu. NO was not on the ballot.

We have three wolves, a lamb, and a chicken voting on what's for dinner, and no vegetarian options on the ballot only "lamb" and "chicken."

The only way out of this trap is to treat the election not as a vote for a leader you recognize, but rather as a vote on which enemy you have to fight. Which one is the weaker opponent? You fight no matter what, the "NO" vote is cast in the street.

Back at you. Take care.

Guess so. Both those guys are scum.

Glenn Greenwald and now Rick Wilson ‍️

Edit: Sorry, that was rude, but not taking Democratic electoral advice from Glen Greenwald or Rick Wilson.

This is just nonsense.

See how trying to make a delineation between Infinite Genocide and More Infinite Genocide just becomes sophistry if your end conclusion is "we should settle for Infinite Genocide"?

If the Trump admin, theoretically, was to utterly collapse USA hegemony and ruin its status as a superpower, that's *preferable* to a world where Genocide Joe and his predecessors get to do a "lesser" genocide to the Palestinians for the next 200 years. Accelerationism tends to be a pretty myopic and inconsistent worldview but it just so happens to be a good counter to the myopic and inconsistent one you are advocating for.

No, that's not it at all. We should avoid Genocide Plus at all costs, because that kills a lot more people. You willingness to sacrifice these people and not take responsibility for it is what is messed up about your argument.

We should vote for the least harm. Full stop, and keep working to improve the system. That means electing better Democrats when we can, and not handing victories to the fascists to prove some sort of ideological point. Because then we go backwards, and we need to start rebuilding all over again.

And yet the Democrat's terrible candidates are infinitely better than the GOP fascists. What are we even talking about? In what world is losing to the fascists a better outcome?

This logic has killed an awful lot more of the people you profess to support. Biden was awful on Gaza, and this administration has been an unimaginable catastrophe.

Your point about purity trap politics does a tailspin the moment you start comparing "infinite genocide forever" Biden with "hey maybe we shouldn't be doing genocide at all" Platner. It's clear that you're not interested in purity, you're interested in the status quo. How can you possibly pretend that Biden was a harm reduction choice that got scuppered by a "purity trap"? He objectively wasn't.

Just be aware of the political stakes.

Like in this case it is control of the Senate, which might be our last chance to save democracy. So on the one side is electing a guy with some bad things in his past and the other you, your children and grandchildren living under a totalitarian regime for the rest of your lives. Ask the survivors in Gaza how they now feel about the Genocide Joe stuff. Its an imperfect world and sometimes the lesser of two evils is a lot less evil.

Glenn Greenwald is the perfect information ops warrior to unleash when you are running a purity trap. He's made a career of it.
