He’s had yet another horrible week. The old tricks aren’t working. Kamala Harris does not fear him. And it’s showing in the numbers.

    This is pretty brain dead of you. It’s not a boogeyman, it’s just reality.

    I understand being angry at the current admin. I don’t like Kamala either. I don’t like the genocide. I disavow the genocide and I wish Israel’s apartheid regime was dissolved.

    Now let’s face facts. The Trump admin did a lot of damage. And honestly, the Biden admin has allowed for a lot of damage to continue. And maintaining that honesty, I think the Harris admin will not be much better.

    But this is absolutely a choice between an evil and a lesser evil, and to disagree with that? Fucking stupid. You want to make a difference? Too bad. Your vote isn’t going to solve the genocide. Your lack of a vote isn’t going to solve the genocide. Nothing you can legally do is going to solve the genocide.

    If you want to do something about it, then you should. But if your idea of “doing something about it” is not voting for the democratic ticket… it isn’t productive. Maybe spend that energy differently.

    I live in a red state so I’m voting third party anyway. But if the alt right is allowed to proceed with project 2025, let’s see how long we have before we are dealing with our own genocide, huh?

    Wake up call: literally every admin has supported the wanton murder of civilians. Literally every admin has blood on their hands. Literally every admin is a war criminal.

    Advocating for not voting for the Harris admin won’t do anything about it.

      No. This is genocide. There is no room for debate on this issue.

      If Harris does not come out unequivocally and with actual action against the genocide I can’t vote for her.

      Period.

      These are the facts. She has to earn my vote as well as the tens of thousands of uncommitted voters in swing states to win this election.

      I don’t care if you or any other blue no matter who folks disagree.

        I didn’t debate whether or not genocide was happening.

        It is genocide. There is no debate.

        The genocide will get worse if Trump is elected. I am so glad that your conscious will be clear because you abstained from voting Blue. I am, again, also not voting Blue. Doesn’t make your decision any less brain dead, and it doesn’t make my point any less poignant. If you believe in harm reduction, then you should learn how to practice it.

            Don’t think you understand what cognitive dissonance is. I understand the reality of the situation. Sounds like you’re the one who doesn’t.

              So okay, Mr semantics, it’s fucking genocide.

              Edit: also, you are holding two incompatible beliefs in your mind. And it is obviously causing you anguish.

              Is genocide worse than genocide light?

              You absolutely have cognitive dissonance here.

              I say cease fire needs to happen or I will not vote for a candidate who supports genocide with word or action.

              You are going to vote for genocide light? Is that like bud light?

                I’m tired of arguing with a stupid person. It’s genocide. You’re not going to get a better candidate. I am dealing with reality. You are coping by opting out. Good luck. Hope Trump loses.
