So either there's no red line, or genocide doesn't matter if it's against Muslims for you.
There's no red line that Americans can VOTE on. We don't get to vote on how America goes to war, period. You really want to frame this in the context that your actually doing something other than undermining a fair election. You've gone way past the red line in your support of Trump.
then is the system fair? is it really democracy whats happening here?
societies generally throw away the rules and stop relying on these institutions when it becomes clear they arent actually doing anything for us. why arent us?
That's actually prety obvious after reading Marx: the system still works as intended for whom it was intended to work, namely for bourgeoisie and their lackeys. The contradictions aren't yet big enough to cause the overthrowing of it. Liberals, people who we are trying to convince here to open their eyes and see that they are voting for genocide, for actual mass extermination of entire people, actually (with small exceptions) already have their eyes open - they just don't see anything undesirable in the picture: brown people half of world away and their deaths are perfectly ignorable for them, their lives are pretty comfortable and they just want to stop reading uncomfortable opinions and get back to brunch.
