So how much genocide in your opinion is okay to vote for under the suspicion that someone else might also do a genocide?

Because either you're admitting theres no way to vote ourselves out of genocide or that joes genocides is okay because someone else MAY also preside over genocide. Thats a new one, this genocide is acceptable because if it wasn't this, it would just be another genocide, do I have that right?

Im of the opinion that I cannot materially support genocide. Call it single issue voterism if you want but to me never again means never again, not never again unless maybe the someone else would also finance genocide. Having boundaries is healthy and just, and if genocide is only a soft boundary for someone then I place no value in what they have to say.

Is your intent to refuse to vote in the next election?

I dont believe voting does much, but I know refusing to vote doesn't do anything, I don't see why I wouldn't show up.

In FPTP a non-vote is still a vote. I am consistently astonished at Lemmy being unable to understand this simple concept.
