I am not voting for genocide either way. If things are as critical as Democrats claim -they are lying- they would have stopped the genocide but they didn't care enough to stop it.

Sorry, you can't kill something that doesn't exist in the first place.
And BlackRock ECO just came out and openly said that it 'doesn't matter' who wins US election; Trump & Kamala benefit Wall Street
People acting like there is some big difference between two parties who both represent the dictatorship of capital are ignorant beyond belief.
Democrats probably should do something about First Past The Post voting in states they control then.
Literally the nation on the line, why *wouldn't * you have multiple political parties competing to beat the Republicans? Why wouldn't you want more then one chance to defeat the republicans?
The only logical answer is that having the nation fall to authoritarianism is preferable to Democrats then having to compete for your vote.
Party over country, vain in every way possible, arrogance that runs so deep it is a festering mortal wound.
A second Trump term really is an extinction-level threat to democracy worldwide, not just in United States. Considering that Trump and his supporters promise an isolationist policy, all sorts of predatory authoritarian and totalitarian regimes will suddenly feel like they can do anything - and this will start happening all over the world.
Team America: world police was satirizing you. You know that, right?
Loved the movie but mat and trey lost all credibility in season 15 episode 7. Did airing that episode solve any of the world's problems? Did it make the world any less shit? Nah...
Not all things need to make the world better, especially given the context of the futility of certain beliefs when they're permanently at odds with the rest of society. But if you take issue with that and nyo the earlier edgier seasons where they were full libertarians that hated environmentalists, I don't know what to tell you.

No it isn't. But enabling a genocide and disregarding international laws, as Biden and Harris are doing, is.
Biden/Harris by enabling the genocide have squandered all the moral high ground the West/US claims to have.
Here's what the Financial Times wrote a year ago:
“We have definitely lost the battle in the Global South,” said one senior G7 diplomat. “All the work we have done with the Global South [over Ukraine] has been lost . . . Forget about rules, forget about world order. They won’t ever listen to us again.”
“What we said about Ukraine has to apply to Gaza. Otherwise we lose all our credibility,” the senior G7 diplomat added. “The Brazilians, the South Africans, the Indonesians: why should they ever believe what we say about human rights?”
Just four weeks before the Hamas assault on Israel, leaders from the US, EU and western allies attended the G20 summit in New Delhi and asked developing nations to condemn Russia’s attacks on Ukrainian civilians in order to uphold respect for the UN charter and international law. Many of those officials told the Financial Times they have had the same argument read back at them in demands for condemnation of Israel’s retaliatory assault on Gaza, and of its decision to restrict water, electricity and gas supplies there.
