Pretending not to pick a side IS picking a side - eviltoast

ID: photo of Martin Luther King Jr. waving at the crowd during the March on Washington, on it is his quote: “He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.”

    Depends on the severity of the single issue @plastic_ramses. Was slavery a ‘single issue’? is genocide? Are they just ‘single issues’ like school vouchers and saving the spotted owl?

    No they are not. I dont understand why you cant see that. Its not complicated.

    Your whole argument is designed to excuse yourself from any critical thought and allow your leaders to shackle you to any outcome they please. And maybe thats all you’re good for, frankly.

      My critical thinking led me to vote for the dems because i didn’t want to make things for my sister, who is transfem.

      My critical thinking led me to vote for the dems because i didn’t want to make things worse for my immigrant coworkers in the service industry.

      My critical thinking led to me knowing without a shadow of a doubt that the republicans would target people who aren’t me, a cishet white male, and make things worse for them.

      Im curious as to where your critical thinking led you, but we sort of already know that it.

      It led you to make the world unequivocally worse.

        And whats exactly at stake for them? What rights of theirs can possibly compare to so many deaths? Would a handfull of their health care coverages become more problematic? unable to visit their loved ones in the hospital as a spouse? unable to file married filing jointly on their taxes? Pronouns not honored while working for a federal employer?

        Tell me the top couple list of dangers so we can weigh that against our funding a genocide + the dems cozying up to the rich only while ignoring the lower and middle class. Let us all judge if you are measuring equitably for all humanity or else just looking out for your own pet interests. Lets see you prove yourself.
