You’re getting down voted but this is what it feels like watching our gargantuan government help eradicate an entire people. Like just fucken stop.
It sucks to see people think government runs on vibes and magic, as though bombs sent through crocodile tears are any less deadly than bombs sent with glee.
The haters will downvote. But you’re right and they know it. And it drives them insane.
You can see they largely come from Lemmy.world accounts, the mods there are very friendly towards Zionism, unlike most other instances.
Imported reddit mods. Same power tripping authoritarians they’ve always been.
Lemmy.world is attempting to make Reddit 2, after all.
This seems to have devolved into blanket othering. Which is a great way to isolate yourself in an echo chamber.
The UI layout and elements of Lemmy.world are pretty close to exactly Reddit, without infringing copyright.
Regardless, I see liberalism for 95% of my waking life, liberal views are supported and leftist views are silenced, it’s nice to see more Leftism.
Nah, it’s just an understanding of nuance and being able to see the long term effects of this election. Everyone who is posting stuff like this doesn’t seem to give a fuck about anything but this. It seems you are all ready to let the world burn everywhere else as long as we stop sending bombs.
To be clear, I don’t support what’s happening, at all. Full stop. But we have to help decide the future of one of the strongest countries in the world, there’s plenty to consider. For example, maintaining your right to even vote to effect issues like this in the future.

Both Trump and Kamala are aligned on foreign policy, that’s something the DNC and GOP have been aligned on for forever.

The sooner the American Empire loses hegemony the sooner the world can grow.

If Trump can take away the right to vote by winning, he can do so if he loses. That level of power trancends the Presidency to begin with.
I saw a meme that was the trolly problem where voters could let the train continue and hit LGBT, racial minorites, [bunch of other stuff here], and Palestine (alluding to trump). or they could pull the lever and only hit Palestine and leave the other people alive (alluding to at the time Biden).
The bottom pannel was the voter saying “I refuse to participate in a broken system” as all the minorities got ran over by the train.
This is getting old and isn’t effective when the only other option according to the US voting system is trump.
Harris is Palestines best bet at continued existence. Sorry if that hurts your feelings or something…
Harris is Palestines best bet at continued existence.
She has promised to never cease sending bombs to Israel for it to “defend itself.”
Do you think Trump would cease sending bombs? I don’t think he’s any better, and in fact would probably send more. We can protest once she actually does it which might be effective, unlike with Trump who would view the protesters as the enemy.
Nope, I believe that, like Harris, he will continue to uphold bipartisan US foreign policy, and maintain the current flow of bombs to Israel.
Painting Harris as “Palestine’s best hope for continued existence” is monstrous and downplays her already active support for continuing the genocide, it reads as you trying to pre-emptively absolve yourself of guilt for voting for her.
Where did I say that she was “Palenstine’s best hope for continued existence”? I said nothing of the sort, so thanks for putting words in my mouth. The truth of the matter is that the US will always send Israel bombs, but one candidate will do it more than the other. Palestine is fucked either way, unfortunately.
Third parties will not win, Trump will not be any better for Palestine than Kamala, and Kamala at least has better domestic policy anyway. I don’t feel guilty for voting for her when the other candidate literally wants me any my queer friends dead, along with Palestine. Sorry, not sorry.

Didn’t realize you were a different person from the original commenter I was talking to. Speaking of, it’s helpful for people to have profile pics for that reason.

How will one candidate do it more than the other? Is Trump going to build bombs himself? This is a bipartisan effort.
Third parties will not win, Trump will not be any better for Palestine than Kamala,
Correct, and Kamala will not be any better for Palestine than Trump, and pretending otherwise is monstrous.
I don’t feel guilty for voting for her when the other candidate literally wants me any my queer friends dead, along with Palestine. Sorry, not sorry.
Vote for whoever you want, just don’t pretend your vote for Harris is helping Palestinians. The US is dedicated to genocide either way.
I’m not going to upload a profile picture so that you can avoid reading.
Trump will give the military industrial complex more money. Look at what you’re doing now, you’re literally defending Trump. That’s a huge red flag, and you should maybe look at yourself and see why you are now defending him.
Did I say my vote would help Palenstine? No. I said it would keep the status quo, and that if Trump was elected it would only accelerate the genocide and also hurt myself and my queer friends. Are you a single issue voter?
Our two options are Trump or Kamala. There’s no chance a third party will win (by design). So, of those two, I definitely know who I’m voting for.

Lmao. How? Is he going to beg Congress to pass what they already are agreeing to pass?

Not at all, I think he’s a monstrous piece of shit, I just don’t think he has magic powers like you do.

Again, materially, how?

I don’t care who you vote for with respect to the genocide, both candidates support current US foreign policy and neither will change it, and pretending otherwise is monstrous.
Point me in the direction of your preferred candidate then.
If I could pick anyone, it would be Claudia De La Crúz, but even if I vote for her she won’t win. I just want Liberals to stop pretending that voting for Harris will cease the genocide, because it won’t, and it’s monstrous to suggest otherwise.
Yep, you’re right that she wouldn’t win and you would be propping up Trump by voting for her. I don’t see any “liberals” saying she’ll stop the genocide, either. I only see you bringing up that point in this thread.
Read the thread, there are plenty of people on this thread pretending Harris will be better for Palestine, which is a lie.
