I'd be surprised if opponents of genocide would vote Republican instead, given how some GOP reps seem to be opposing even the half-measure of delaying arms shipments.

A two party state where you choose between "fucked up" and "less fucked up, but constantly ceding ground" just does a poor job of accurately representing the opinions of people favouring actual progress, so they're doing what they can to pull the Overton Window their way.

This is what perpetuates the insanity in US. When your choices are Hitler and 99% Hitler, then the vote is meaningless. A lot of people will just choose not to participate in this circus.

This is pretty rich coming from a guy who unironically defends Stalin and Mao for "doing what needed to be done."

Edit - I mean there you have it. If I explain the meme I'll get banned but I think any reasonable person can appreciate the whiplash.

Stalin and Mao liberated hundreds of millions of people, provided them with food, healthcare, education, and jobs. Imagine comparing that to a senile manager of the empire doing a genocide. What is wrong with you?

Meh, you and I both know that we cannot have an honest discussion of Mao or Stalin's flaws on this instance, the same way we can have an honest discussion of Biden's.

We both know that you refuse to accept reality. Facts aren't on your side though https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25495509/

And Israel is the most advanced nation in the Levant, I guess.

That certainly does sound like something you would think unironically.
