These people say they care about Gaza, but we all know deep down inside they couldn't give less of a fuck.
It's more important virtue signal than to sincerely hold those values, this is the democrat way.

to stop pretending like your "choice" will do anything but stain your conscience with genocide forever
democracy is not possible under capitalism due to the outsized power of the ownership class over the means of production
You're making some pretty grand assumptions about liberals
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Functionally, doing nothing is also a choice. And in this case it does more harm than good to let MAGA get the backing of the Federal govt. I am familiar with the theory of democracy not being possible under capitalism, and agree. But what does it do for me? I can't snap my fingers and transition from a full on capitalist system to anarcho-socialism in a fucking day. So yeah, I'm gonna participate and try to stop the harm to my country that would result from me not participating.
code for "I didn't watch the fucking video because I think I know everything already". fuck you, it's 12 minutes at 1.5x speed, I have complete contempt for your soft western chauvinist ass. every single fucking time a liberal fails to watch the video and then gives a predictable "do nothing" critique contradicted by the video. voting is doing nothing. how about next time someone links something you don't reply if you're not willing to engage with the material? eat shit
OK, I watched the video. You asked me to humble myself and engage with your point of view. I did. Hopefully you can do the same with mine.
literally every time I look at a bourgeois newspaper or mass media broadcast where they spout the exact same class-obfuscatory excuses for the orphan-grinding machine. the exact same arguments liberals have been making (and history has continually proven wrong) since the 19th century
OK cool now you are arguing in bad faith. Nothing in my response was an attempt to hide the class conflict inherent in liberal democracy.
I want you to internalise something.
Your country is already Fascist (yes, capital F fascist) and was like that from day 1.
nobody said that, which makes it clear that the function of voting is to make you feel better about your complicity
lol. lmao
