  • The funniest part is that

    • switching candidates halfway through the election
    • having your replacement candidate be one of the few people somehow less popular than Biden

    Isn’t a wholly accurate representation, as she surged after initially replacing Biden because she briefly represented “hope and change” …then she immediately threw all that momentum away to try and win over racist right wingers as a black woman.

    What? This is literally the strategy they tried which just lost.

    They call her “too liberal” because she a black woman. She laughably tried to win over their vote with right wing policies.

    The racist right ringers will always choose the racist white man who supports them 90% over a black woman who represents them 50%, hell even if she represented their beliefs more than Trump, she would still have been a black woman, which they wouldn’t like…they’re racist right wingers.

    Sacrificing 3 left votes to gain 1 right vote will never work and the further right you go the more left votes you drop while picking up fewer and fewer right votes.


  • To quote him: ““From the start, Harris has worked to tie Israel’s hand behind its back, demanding an immediate ceasefire, always demanding ceasefire”.

    Okay? Do you usually treat what Trump says as gospel? …Do you think she got a ceasefire or successfully restrained Israels genocidal ambitions so far?

    Materially, what is the difference between them.

    “Genocide but sad” vs “Genocide and happy”, I’m not choosing Genocide period.

    However bad things currently are, Trump’s openly-stated position that horrific situation is that Israel needs to go in harder.

    Things are genocide, Harris’ openly stated positions are horrific and enabling of a genocide we have seen be carried out.

    Kamala Harris is actively engaging in genocide and it’s worked for over a year, you’re engaging in hypotheticals on it getting worse based off Trump’s words. Perhaps Trump’s incompetence would even lead to a forced end to the genocide if we are engaging in hypotheticals, in fact, I’d wager thats much more likely than Harris suddenly switching from a genocider to a compassionate human being and ending it.


  • Because why would a pro-Palestine person vote for the person who has aided the genocide against them and continues to vow further support for the regime responsible?

    The way I see it, the USA has a two party system and in the next few weeks they’re either going to have Trump or Harris as president, come inauguration day. With this in mind doesn’t it make sense to vote for the person least likely to escalate the situation even more.

    How is Kamala less likely to escalate it further when she has supported the actual ongoing genocide? What will Trump escalate it to? Double genocide? Either way I’m not voting for Trump so I don’t have to agree with his policies. I’m just not going to let the Dems conduct Genocide and scare me into agreeance with them using the threat of Trump.

    If you’re talking about escalation with Iran, we have already been working with Israel for a “response” to Iran response and she has again supported Israels right to continue their provocations in the name of “defense”.

    Giving your vote to an independent or worse not voting at all, just gives more of a chance for Trump to win the election and then who knows what crazy stuff he will allow, or encourage, Israel to get away with.

    Crazy stuff like genocide? Expanding the “war” in Gaza into Lebanon? Provoking Iran with a strike on their soil then planning “retaliation” for their retaliation?

    As sure nobody wants to vote for a party allowing these heinous crimes to be committed, but given you’re getting one of them shouldn’t you be voting for the one that will be the least horrible of the two.

    Kamala is actively engaged in a genocide. There should be punishments for this. The least of which should be losing your role in any sort of elected office. A vote for Kamala is literally a vote saying that you are okay with genocide as long as it benefits you to do so.


  • Amazing how someone will equate an imperfect country and THE genocidal slaveholder regime.

    Nobody says China is perfect. We claim that the US and their allies have no right to criticize. It’s like the Nazis/Axis powers criticizing the USSR (or Sweden or whatever since you probably support and parrot Nazi propaganda against USSR)

    You say this while America has the largest prison population in the world, filled with a large percentage of black men, who are used as slave labour and as America carries out a literal Genocide against Palestine.

    China is infinitely better than the US on Muslim and minorities rights.








  • For reciprocal holidays like Christmas, giving cash maybe gets a little too close to exposing the pointlessness. I give you cash, then you give me cash, what are we doing here? And what if I gave you less than you gave me?

    How does a gift card solve this though?

    I give you Starbucks™ cash and you give me Chipotle™ cash. What are we doing here? What if I gave you more Starbucks™ cash then you gave me Chipotle™ cash?

    It’s literally just money with brand loyalty.
