My favorite part about the liberals coming in here to muster a defense is how their only argument is “but Trump would be worse,” conveniently saying nothing about how they are literally advocating for genocide.
“But she called for ceasefire,” they cry, while simultaneously sending their daily billion dollars of bombs and ammo.
Also omitting how the DNC is clearly complicit with the GOP and will objectively not make things better, just worse at a slower pace. As shown by the last 50 years.
Their responses will get increasingly absurd and nonsensical the further this goes on. Behavior paralleling Israeli Zionists.
Oh look, it happened again, liberals aligned with fascists. Really weird how that just keeps happening over and over and over and over and over and over.
Who are the ones that want fascism again?
Tell me what you want me to do. Should I not vote? Who is defending Kamala or the Democratic party here? Just because I'm relatively happy that Kamala gives the US a better chance at avoiding another Trump presidency, that doesn't mean I'm happy with Kamala being the nominee. Or happy with her being genocidist. How does that make me an apologist for genocide when I have a binary choice in front of me between two people who are going to continue sending weapons to an apartheid state committing genocide? I mean fuck, the US is the worlds largest terror organization -- are you going to accuse me of supporting them because they take money out of my paycheck? There isn't really anything I can do about it besides try to vote in the direction that leans away from that.
They have no answer except that if you participate in voting for either candidate that can win, you're pro-genocide
We have plenty of answers, you just don’t listen.
One being, threaten to not vote until a hard stance against the genocide of Palestinians is taken. We did it to get Biden out, we can fuckin’ do it again. It’s OUR party, they just represent us. And if that stance isn’t taken, then keep your promise. Democrats don’t deserve to win if they’re going to be spineless bought cowards.
We can do ANYTHING so long as Trump is the opponent.
Maybe they're not from the US and don't realize that we actually don't have much of a choice? Or maybe they're pro-Trump. Idk.
Yeah, I mean, It's not like we actually live in a democracy or anything.
True, the US is far closer to a oligarchy than a democracy.
