    That is only one of the actions. Voting is harm reduction, and done in tandem with other actions.

        And yet, letting Trump be president is doing that genocide faster and harsher, stripping women, minorities, and LGBT people of rights, AND MORE!

          If you’ve been paying attention to the daily horrors coming out of Gaza, they’re already on track to total extermination.

          The only hope for Gaza is if the US/Israel is defeated. Who do you think is more likely to fuck this up and cause a US/Israel loss?

          It’s called revolutionary defeatism.

            It’s called Accelerationism, and it tends to work out exceptionally poorly for vulnerable groups, and it also has a significant chance to fail.

            So, your goal to fight genocide with more genocide seems to have a fatal flaw.

              No, accelerationism is just making things worse and hoping that causes revolution.

              That’s stupid.

              Revolutionary defeatism is about building international solidarity towards making the empire lose its engagements. Whenever the US loses, the world wins. They must lose or they are going to kill everyone in Gaza.

                If Democrats are that bad, then why can’t the international solidarity be built against them? Why must you advocate for the sacrifices of women, minorities, and LGBT people? Because the people of Gaza aren’t going to be saved by Republicans, that’s for fucking sure.
