    Interesting… but the ice cream is supporting genocide. Some would rather die than vote for that. And I guess it could be argued that at least the people dieing by going over the cliff had a chance to vote. The ones dieing from genocide didn’t.

      Some would rather die than vote for that.

      Cool. Unfortunately, the other option is intensified Palestinian genocide and additional genocides at home and abroad.

      So it’s more “Some would rather more Palestinians die than vote”.

      Except in this analogy, the cliff option includes a rider that they will genocide even harder.

        For the people who feel that way… I would assume they sleep better at night than most of us. As far as end result, too soon to tell. But the rise of people like the NYC mayoral primary winner indicates that it might be having an impact. Even the Republicans are talking about splitting into two parties. This isn’t the way I personally would have chosen to instigate progress, but it might be happening.

          Yeah, it might be too soon to tell. On one hand it’s good to tell the corporate Dems they can’t offer something slightly better than awful, but then empowering the people behind Trump seems so dangerous. People are being harmed, including new people who weren’t being harmed before. Will it be worth it? Will it work out at all? Nobody is guiding this, we’re just reacting. The right is supposed to be reacting, but they have the power.
