the tankies are so mad that "Genocide Kamala" just doesn't have the same ring to it lol
Haven’t you noticed? They don’t give a shit about genocide anymore. They switched to “oLd!” After the debate.
Now they have nothing. It’s why they’re so quiet.
I give it three days tops before they figure out they can use the "ACAB, she's a prosecutor so she's actually a cop" angle as a replacement
Oh, I've already seen it on lemmy. Pretty soon you'll see Cop Kamala posts all over the plac
Pretty wild that these leftists consistently have leftist criticisms of the liberal candidate, I guess that means they support the conservative candidate.
Called it.

Why do you want a discourse where the blue candidate can't be criticized just because the red candidate is worse?
Cause I don't want trans people or west bank Palestinians to die!
If you believe you need censorship of any criticism for your candidate to win maybe you have less faith in her than we leftists do.
But yes we're all Russian agents.
Political discourse should not be silenced for red or for blue.
I have very low faith in her, because I'm very far left. You liberals think you can win everything with principles and rational discussion. But contrary to what Capitalist Economics 101 told you, people aren't rational. There's a lot of people who won't vote against fascism, if voting against fascism feels bad. So, we have a political responsibility to make voting against fascism feel good for the average voter. When the election is over and Donald is out for another 4 years, we can switch to the harshest criticism you can imagine for issues like her denying medical care to a trans inmate. Until then, let's tactically shut the fuck up. Because I don't want to see you risking genocide again. Ignore the instinct to just do whatever you want without thinking, and commit to actually enacting praxis like us leftists.
congratulations I can't tell if this is satire
They are a "Soulist," unfortunately they are being 100% genuine.
Good one! Had to remove my downvote when I realised what that place is.
Copmala
Paul Blart: Kamalla Cop
I mean that's been talked about for years already dude
The more I learn about her the more relaxed I feel about her as president tbh. I'm kinda surprised how little the trolls have come up with, you'd think there would be a bigger pile of shit for them to fling given the hard-on for getting Biden out of the race. It's almost encouraging in a weird sort of way.
Yeah that attack already got shat upon so the GRU are weighing other attack options for tankies to perform.
This page is nothing but a bunch of insecure fragile liberals fighting straw men. Are you so worried about valid and consistent leftist criticisms of your liberal candidate that you would prefer to silence all oppression? You're the idiots with bandages on your ears but with a blue hat instead.
Why is it shocking that genuine leftists (who also hate Trump) would have leftist-perspective criticisms of Kamala Harris too? Should everyone left of center be completely silenced? Is the Democrat candidate so weak and fragile that leftist criticisms will take her down?
This is nothing but tribal liberals trying to shut down progressive discourse.
You're all shockingly cultist. Holy shit this place is a disaster.
Lemmy.world in general is terrible for things like this, I would suggest joining a more niche instance or a different generalist instance if liberalism bothers you.
Liberalism is an ideology that can be debated and has merits, these are just cultists. I don't think so little of liberals that I think they're all like this.
This is just the politics subreddit isn't it?
Yes and no. Lemmy.world specifically curates this form of liberalism, they have an anti-Marxist stance and as such left-punchers flocked to Lemmy.world. Non-left-punchers generally leave Lemmy.world.
In my experience, no, not really. Some smaller, niche communities are good, but overall Lemmy.world has curated its own userbase.
Thanks for giving me the lay of the land. I can't imagine being so fanatically, what amounts to, centrist....
No problem! I recommend checking out other instances and scrolling by local feeds, to find one you like the vibe of. Lemmy.world blocks a few instances you could be interested in, or might not be, but scrolling by local anonymously is a good tip I've found.
The folks at .ml would love you over there.
BUILD THAT WALL
So edgy!
leftist discourse is challenging our liberal chamber this is a foreign state sponsored attack
Naaaah… it’s just mindless Marxist bullshit. We dismissed that nonsense decades ago, and are ready to do the same again.
Yep that's Lemmy liberals for you, you think you're entitled to leftist support but not if it means any compromise on your side.
You're just as much of a problem as the conservative.
Leftist support? That’s hilarious.
Aaah. The smug arrogance of a socialist. How adorable!
and yes many liberals are insufferable, but I stand by my original statement even when such examples love to make themselves known.
You’ll forgive me if I don’t take someone who subscribes to an untested and provenly ineffective political system seriously I hope.
Every few years this shit rehashes as if we’ve forgotten how fucking embarrassing it was the last time.
You want to replace our socioeconomic and political system with something better? Be my guest-
But offer something better. Marxism is utter garbage.
So calling anyone that's liberal but not leftist a blue MAGA isn't a straw man? It's intentionally inflammatory and wrong. It sounds like you're being elitist, even if that's not your intention.
I agree that the average US liberal isn't progressive enough and I don't agree with a lot of the liberal circlejerk in these comments, but your argument is just as flawed and cultist.
No liberal is a leftist, liberalism is right-wing, while leftism is Socialist, of some sort. Additionally, the person you replied to said liberalism itself can be debated, but this specific anti-Leftist liberalism found on Lemmy.world is "Blue MAGA," ie Leftists aren't allowed to complain about whatever right-winger the DNC fronts.
I don't see how any of that follows.
So you agree with them saying leftists should be allowed to have a voice, but disagree with them saying Lemmy.world liberals are trying to silence Leftists, then "both-sidesing" them? Not sure what you're cooking here.
You're generalizing what I said, you can see plainly that I was referring to the people behaving like that in this thread.
This is the depth of analysis I've come to expect from you all, though.
I mean I can criticize Kamala more if that's what you like.
It literally doesn't matter what we do or don't do, liberals will always find a way to attack the left. You can set your clock by it.
No one hates leftists more than other leftists
almost true, liberals hate leftists more, and fascists hate leftists most of all.
They're not criticizing her enough! They're criticizing her too much! Their consistent leftist beliefs unsurprisingly still have some valid criticisms of her from their point of view and they're expressing them! We have to stop them from expressing them! We have to prevent any criticism of Democrats! VOTE BLUE NO MATTER WHO!
These are blue-shifted bandage-on-the-ear rabids who are not interested in political discourse and want to silence progressive voices. They would rather fight straw men than build any sort of complex political thought or class consciousness.
Oh the hypocrisy is delicious! Thanks for that!
I think you need to look up what that word means.
This is an example of the pathetic one I've seen so far.

Ahhh classic linkerbaan
She also has been more critical of Israel and isn't in the hot seat. Unless she goes and hugs Bibi she can ride below the issue.
"Carnage Karmala" is the best I could come up with and it's way too metal tbh
