Is it too much to ask to demand an end to genocide? (lemmy.world)

After a day and several replies from people. I've come to the conclusion that people here are ok with their party and leaders supporting genocide and they attack the questioners (instead of their party leaders) who criticize those who support genocide. Critical thinking is scarce here.

I'm shameful of humanity.

I too have a nuanced opinion about my voting options and a strong contempt for candidates who talk down to people who are right.

I'm still voting Harris because the only other option wants to see people like me hanged.

    Wouldn't it be much better if no-one gets hanged or genocided? Wouldn't it be much better if democrats listen to young voters and stop supporting/funding genocide?

    Have you got a way to make that happen?

    "If we all clap our hands and believe really hard, the majority of the electorate will come around to our thinking inside of the next month!"

    I don't know why we weren't doing that BEFORE a few weeks before election day. Apparently it's only viable when there's a serious risk of fascism. I'm sure these people aren't just trying to get their favorite fascist in office.

    Yes, that's what our demand is from the democrat representatives that they should include our demand and stop supporting/funding genocide. (people demand in a democratic nation) If they can save large number of people from getting hanged then they can also stop facilitating genocide. Instead genociders are welcomed to give speeches in U.S. congress.

    PugJesus, I am just asking democrats to not support/fund genocide. That's it.

    And you have no plan to get them to agree to such a demand that doesn't amount to "If we don't vote and allow fascists to win, this will somehow be a moral victory for anti-genocide"

    We sent posts, emailed the representatives, filed cases, protested (campuses and other places), protested in both major parties rallies. Bernie tried to pass bill to stop funding of genocide. But who listens to Bernie, no one.

    No no, I didn't ask "Did you put in effort". There is no gold star for effort. It was asked if you had a viable plan.

    Also the use of "sent posts" makes it extremely clear that they aren't even American.

    I'm not convinced that the people posting these aren't propaganda accounts anyways. The account was made in May of this year, has only 4 posts which are all about Israel, and the way they are phrasing their responses sounds like a foreigner. This could be a college kid that protested at school or it could be a 35 year old man in Istanbul for all I know.

    And how do you propose for that to realistically happen? Because Trump wants to see entire groups of people dead in this country, deport Muslims, and also turn the entire Middle East into a sheet of glass using nukes.

    Myxomatosis, listen man. We do support the democrats on topics when they talk about respect and inclusivity of minorities in society but we also demand that they should not support/fund genocide. It's our demand from democrat leaders. Is it a wrong demand? You should tell me.

    No fucking shit lol, but this isn't fantasy, now is not the time to be acting like the threat of not voting will change any policies, because we're still competing with half the country who wants an extra-genocidal maniac in

    Wouldn't it be much better if we lived in a world where asking "Wouldn't it be much better" magically made complicated and unrealistic things happen. You didn't even bother to write a decent response, you just jumped straight into a whataboutism.
