Anyone who isn't Mad at Biden for participating in genocide has something seriously wrong with them.
The alternative to participating in genocide is NOT participating in genocide-- nobody needs to present any comprehensive plan for how exactly to change the system, in order to condemn genocide.
Expecting people to already have a fully-formed strategy before they can even be allowed to object to this fucked up situation is a pretty damn tall and goofy order, especially considering the system itself works hard to make sure people are undereducated, constantly propagandized, overworked, stressed out, and conditioned to believe that the world exists only within the narrow framework of these binary Illusions of choice we're being forcefed-- like Evil vs Diet Evil and Voting vs Curling Up To Die. Nobody is "inferring" the only alternative to voting for war criminals is staying home-- nobody except the people steeped in the hegemonic narrative that seeks to manufacture consent by erasing all other options.
Learning the importance of direct action, mutual aid, and labor organizing takes time, energy, and courage. STEP ONE requires recognizing the problems in the status quo. STEP TWO is getting fed up and refusing to resign ourselves to those evils as unassailable or inescapable. THEN we can start discussing solutions.
The system has liberals trained to insult and browbeat anyone who even makes a peep about step one, pressuring everyone around them to get the fuck in line and swallow shit instead of standing up for something better-- locking us into the rightward ratchet. They'd vote for Beelzebub themselves, if the other candidate was Cthulhu. And that's where we're headed if we don't break out of this two-party handbasket.
As soon as I realized the DNC was enabling the fascist Republicans they're using to hold us hostage, I saw this whole sick farce for the anti-democratic planetwrecking nightmare it really is.
