What do you think Trump will do differently?

If you're a single issue voter and still voting for the worst of those two options you're a baffoon.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Will not support this. Do better next time. No, there is no argument that can justify support for those who fund it.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 11 months ago (2 children)

OK, so you think Trump will bring peace to Isreal. Got it.

So what message do you think your actually sending?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That I will never, ever support a pro-genocide candidate.

Ever.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago (1 children)

So you're not voting? Or are you for some hack grifter like West?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I'll be voting in a way that most clearly sends the message to the Democrats why they lost my vote, which is voting Uncommitted for the presidential.

I am lucky enough to have a progressive running as a state rep to unseat a Republican so I'll be turning out for their sake mainly.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 11 months ago (5 children)

I'm sure the Democrats will consider your message carefully as Trump starts bombing those brown kids.

Parties cater to voters, not to non-voters. If the voters chose Trump, they will move towards his policies, including on Israel. You will achieve the opposite of what you want.

But I'm sure the Palestinians will appreciate the hollow gesture.

I can understand your principles, but the world, and specifically the US election system, doesn't give a shit about them. Not voting always results in the party you dislike most gaining an advantage. That is the net result of your actions.

Hold your nose if you must, but Palestinians can't afford a Republican president. Biden, for all his many faults, at least pushes for a peace.

You have to vote for Joe Biden because he also won't bring peace to Israel

So you instead choose even more of that with Donald. Or you are saying the Muslim bans and "finish the job" won't lead to ramping up the attacks? The Christian nationalist heading Congress isn't looking to start the apocalypse and rapture? Lindsey Graham isn't saying Israel should nuke Gaza and that the US did nothing wrong in Hiroshima?

Maybe that will be enough to shock neoliberals awake as to the reality of what they'redealing with, maybe not, but it's the only shot we've got. We can't afford any more lesser evil, we've reached rock bottom with this genocide.

We're not just backsliding slowly, we're at the bottom of the hill.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (4 children)

Shocking neoliberals awake will do fuckall when they are living under a dictatorship that a (I know you're confused by this concept) Repub-appointed SCOTUS is considering granting a Long Knife to.

There will be more genocide and more war. There will be nothing at all anyone can do since the "let's get the National Guard in" and "deport these protesters to Gaza" guys will be in charge.

We are literally in a comment section discussing the Repub candidate wanting to execute people over whatever slights. Please get a clue. No, it is not as bad as it could be.

Ah there it is, if it’s not “Both Sides”, “or voting doesn’t matter”, it’s “we need to burn it all down”.

What a ridiculously stupid take. You’re absolutely privileged if you can even think that is a viable option.

Fuck off with that bullshit.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Bet it’ll be FAR worse if you get your way and Trump is elected. But along with it being worse, you can say goodbye to the LGBTQ+ and any body autonomy women have remaining.

You have NO idea what’s going on here. They’re playing with live ammo buddy. This isn’t a joke.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (2 children)

Women and lgbt people are already losing their rights. I think it's you who've lost your way.

Look again at what your "lesser evil" is doing. Where it's gotten us. You've literally been pushed so far to the right that you're here defending the deliberate starvation of tens of thousands of children. You're completely politically and morally disoriented.

That's you. That's the fruit of your support right there in that image. Go ahead and justify it to yourself however you want when you cast a vote, it doesn't change the reality of what you're saying is acceptable for Democrats to support.

So name someone better. Come on now, you pulled me up to the pump… let’s get some gas now! Name a candidate. Who can win that will have both the power AND authority to end your genocide?

Come on. I’m sure you have ideas. You can’t be here ONLY to stop people from voting….

Right?
