When you take a wrong turn at firelink shrine

I’m confused why you were so outraged by the use of human shields at first and now when I send examples you all of a sudden don’t seem to care. You didn’t even mention the second example yet.

Ah so using human shields is OK all of a sudden? What about the second example? Don’t worry, I can find more if you like

On one hand you have fighters shielding themselves behind civilians

You’re right, this is disgusting…

And this is too. Do these people have no morals? https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/6/23/human-shielding-in-action-israeli-forces-strap-palestinian-man-to-jeep

This type of comment is always hilarious to me. We’re talking about it right now. Nobody has been called bigoted. It’s fine.

In the year 1,000,000 and a 1/2, humankind was enslaved by giraffes

Agree 100%. I don’t think the people you were arguing with really want to engage on these points, their entire position only applies in the voting booth. They’re right, in pure Biden vs Trump there is only one reasonable choice. I just wouldn’t gamble so hard on the population being reasonable, otherwise Trump would have never won in 2016 either.

When the genocide started? Gosh yeah you’re right what a mystery

They are avoiding the question.

I think since the scales are tipped in republicans’ favour (e.g. losing popular vote but winning presidency always goes one way - Trump, Bush), not voting likely benefits them over the dems. Depending on your state of course.

No worries. Mistakes happen. I won’t be a prick about it.

But not anti Biden. Anti genocide. I can see why you might get those two confused, lol

Thank you for putting this so well.

Never mind. I made a mistake trying to follow the thread.

Well if you’re going around making up what people are saying then you’re doing a pretty horrifically bad job of having a conversation.

Where did I defend third party votes? NOWHERE

Because this comment chain stems from my reply? Not complicated. But yes my apologies for getting the wrong idea.

I cared the whole time.

Honestly as someone who isn’t American, this is more important to me than economic policy or whatever. I want Biden to win, Trump winning would be awful for everyone, basically worldwide. But most of all I want the kids to stop dying. I really don’t think this is so unreasonable.

Trump won’t be convinced. Biden might be. And this “less important” issue could still cost him swing states. I think maybe not supporting a genocide could be a vote winner.

But if someone criticises the “meh,” this is somehow an issue with the person and not the “meh”?

This one guy posts several times every single day about the war and often lays it all at Biden’s feet. If he’s paid, Putin or whoever it is truly does get their money’s worth with so many posts and comments essentially indirectly supporting trump.

Are you talking about me? Do you seriously think someone pays me to post rather than me just being a person who is horrified about what’s happening?

Just because it’s been happening for a while doesn’t make it right.

Why was Rafah a red line until all of a sudden it wasn’t? Because he knows it’s morally wrong and will lead to a lot of death but is too much of a coward to stand up for what he believes.

The Trumpists are ecstatic how easy it was to flip these morons.

I would never vote Trump. “Morons” for having criticism of a president supplying weapons that have killed over 10k children?

These centrist democrats are ecstatic how a substantial number of their voters have no standards whatsoever and will defend anything as long as it keeps Trump out.

Downvote all you want. If you can’t criticise Biden for this you’re a piece of shit

Obviously it wasn’t as big an issue until October 7th. I did care, just not as much was happening
