The amount of intellectual dishonesty I hear out of tankies is insane. The second you call them out, they ban you and delete your comments.
Can you give me an example of this? It’s so ubiquitous it can be generalized, so surely it will be easy!
It's in nearly every single thread they are present in. They constantly attack Harris, and never mention Trump's stance.
And yet you don't show any examples for your bizarre claim. I swear y'all have more issues with the left than with fascists.
The reason many leftists don't mention Trump is because there's already consensus that he's an awful person and a wannabe fascist dictator.
"if you don't vote for the good genocider, the bad genocider will get into office. And he is RUDE!"
What leftist has suggested voting for Trump? Ever?
Literally anyone holding Harris's feet to the fire right now of all moments, when the outcome of the election depends on it. You win the election first, you moderate your demands until then, and then you raise the volume on your calls for change.
Because only one of those two candidates has quite literally suggested arresting and deporting ALL protesters. Undermining the only person who can prevent him from getting to the office that would enable that shit is just as bad if not worse than actually just quietly voting for him.
So the answer is nobody, nobody has suggested voting for Trump, and you want people to hold their tongues about ongoing genocide.
Jesus, I've had this argument recently. Pointless, they are just on some crusade.
All these people are convinced that Trump would be worse for Palestinians.
And maybe they're right, maybe Trump will send in straight up death squads. Maybe he'll build vans that pipe the exhaust into the cargo area and ship them to tel Aviv. Maybe he'll start sending the Israelis Zyclon b.
But the fact remains. The last year has been the most deadly for Palestinians. Ever. More Palestinians have been killed in the last year than died during the formation of the state of Israel. More Palestinians have had their homes destroyed in the last year, then ever before in modern history.
At this point, saying Trump would be worse for Palestine is like saying that Himmler would have been worse for the Jews. Possibly technically correct, but also a poor attempted genocide denial.

just wait til you see what trump does.
So we agree: both sides of this election support the ongoing genocide being committed by Israel.
do you want more genocide or less genocide?
Inb4 "I wAnT nO gEnOcIdE" like it's some kind of clever gotcha response that shows anything but their whole white bougie kid politics having ass.
I want you to stop pretending that she'll do anything to even slow it down. I encourage you to vote for her and Walz because it serves our country better than Trump and the couch fucker, but admit that the two parties' positions on Palestine are materially the same. We can't change anything until we acknowledge the problem.
Seems like the genocide is already accelerating, so this is also a false choice. Either way it will be more.
I'm not saying "don't vote for Harris" nor am I saying "don't vote at all". I support Harris, but pretending she doesn't support Israel's genocide or she'll somehow slow it down is just ignorant of reality.
We are watching the destruction of the Palestinian people in real time and the people able to stop it are entirely unwilling to care.
you are completely ignoring Trump's track record vis a vis Israel and Palestine. He has been much more fanatical in his support of Israel than any other president, even other republican presidents. For example:
I want zero genocide
The Democrats want genocide
The Republicans want genocide
I want zero genocide
me too, but that's not an option.
so, are you going to vote for more genocide, or less genocide?
Let's put this in perspective. bibi and Isreal is committing Genocide. Genocide has happened and is still happening. Americans have provided weapons of war and continue to provide weapons of war to Isreal as they have all their allies. The only thing America has failed to do is pressure bibi to stop. Do they have that power? I wouldn't know. Some people claim to know.
In 2024 we aren't voting for genocide. We are voting for candidates all claiming to know the exact right thing to do on this particular issue. Will any of this result in turning back the clock on what's been done? No. Should the united states president be able to midgate the continued conflict? Possibly.
I'm going to remind everyone again. America is not the world police. You don't want them as the world police. You can continue your campaign against the democrats all you want but please. I beg you. Look at who your allies are in that fight. bibi himself would cum his pants to see the orange dictator take office.
Okay but it doesn't seem like that's a viable option right now
which side is against it?
At this point, saying Trump would be worse for Palestine is like saying that Himmler would have been worse for the Jews. Possibly technically correct, but also a poor attempted genocide denial.
More have died and more have been made refugees, in the last year; than during the Nakba. This has been the deadliest year for Palestinians, by an order of magnatude, in modern history.
So take your "Trump would be worse" bullshit. Wrap it in sandpaper. And shove it up your ass.
