Supporting a candidate that’s supporting a genocide so that more genocide doesn’t happen under someone else… idk, that certainly does sound like compromise?
Compromise implies that US voters have some direct agency to influence Israel’s war cabinet and are settling for less. US voters have indirect agency to influence Israel based on which US presidential candidate is elected. Biden is pushing for a ceasefire where as Trump wants Israel to “finish what they started”. Given the the only option US voters have to interfere with Israel’s genocide is to reduce the number of causalities, they should vote for that option.
I was told compromise was something adults were supposed to do, why does it sound like you’re offended by this meme?
My argument is that comprise has nothing to do with the choice US voters are facing this November. What do I have to do with it?
Lmao, all I did was challenge the ‘anti-fascist’ label of the project, are y’all really so attached to your benevolent self-image that you cannot conceive of yourselves without that label?
My argument is about the statement in your meme. The anti-fascist label is the correct label to describe a political movement that is against fascists. That is self-evident.

Lmao the anti-fascist label does not have room in it to tolerate material support of genocide, or to justify that tolerance because you need to include those people who support it to serve your other goals.
You’re free to call it an ‘anti-maga-fascist’ coalition if you want. That seems less likely to confuse people who would like to actually act against fascism in all its forms and features, not just the ones that are most immediate to yourself.

There will be material support of Israel’s genocide no matter what US voters do. All US voters have control over in 2024 is how many people are affected by Israel’s genocide. Since that metric is what US voters have control over, choices that impact that metric are what distinguishes anti-fascists from fascists.

Anti-fascism is the correct term for opposing the MAGA movement as the MAGA movement is a fascist movement. Accelerationism supports fascist movements though deliberate inaction and promoting inaction. Again accelerationism is not anti-fascism.
Does your coalition include Biden? Does it include democratic politicians that are obstructing justice against Israeli war crimes?
Do you have any justification for Biden to not be more forcefully condemning Israeli fascism other than ‘he needs the votes of people who support Israeli fascism’?
Hate to break it to you, bud, but if the extent of your anti-fascist organizing is signing onto the democratic voting rolls then you’re not an anti-fascist revolutionary, you’re just a anti-republican liberal. Which isn’t the worst thing you can be! No shame in shitting on republicans, they’re literal neo-nazis. But a part of being an anti-fascist is opposing all fascism, not just the fascism that’s most immediate to you.

The goal of the current pro-democracy coalition in the US is to get Biden elected to prevent a christo-fascist dictatorship. This christo-fascist dictatorship will perform it’s own genocides and ethnic cleansings at home and support genocides and ethnic cleansings abroad. This pro-democracy coalition is anti-fascist as it opposes the MAGA movement, who are attempting the christo-fascist takeover. Biden being reelected gives us four years to promote socialist and progressive ideas. Ideally we will have a socialist candidate running as a Democrat in the general election in 2028. But to even have a 2028 election our democracy has to survive the 2024 election.

I have nothing to do with what we are discussing.
