    Now that there’s reporting that the Biden admin explicitly okayed the aid worker strikes (which is a war crime) I’m not sure that’s true. I honestly don’t know which side is more evil at this point. At least when W killed a million Iraqis it wasn’t EXPLICITLY a genocide for lebensraum. Genocide Joe is probably the worst president of my lifetime, and I’ve seen some GEMS. Same way I promised during Iraq I would NEVER vote GOP because they are EVIL, I have now sworn off voting DNC, because they are also EVIL and I don’t believe in accepting “the lesser of two evils” especially when the “lesser” evil are purveyors of genocide and a level of war crimes we haven’t seen since Nixon was funding the Cambodian ethno-communists.

        He’d need to genocide 200k or whatever the real death count is people, burning children alive, while institutionalizing rape, torture, and the use of starvation as a weapon of war. And murder several US citizens. And aid workers. And UN peacekeepers.

      I don’t believe in accepting “the lesser of two evils”

      I’ve been seeing this argument alot this electing cycle. Can you provide an example of a politician that has done committed or supported an action that could be considered “evil”?

          Do you think that Trump or the Republicans will halt military support to Isreal?

          You also have not answered my question. Are you simply not voting because all politicians are just various degrees of evil and voting for any of them will be “accepting ‘the lesser of two evils’”?

          I am genuinely interested in knowing the point of that statement. Is it to encourage people not to vote?

          Are their any other topics that you apply this mentality to or is it just this election?

          Edit: To answer your question, no, I do not support genocide. I do however believe in choosing the lesser of two evils when there are no better alternatives.
