WE HAVE ACTUAL RIGHT WING WAR CRIMINALS DOING WAR CRIMES RIGHT NOW, BUT YES, PLEASE YELL AT THE ONE PERSON WHO HAS ABSOLUTELY FUCKALL TO DO WITH IT AFTER ALL OF YOU TOLD HER THE CURRENT WAR CRIMINALS WILL DO A BETTER JOB.
I highly doubt Kamala would be using $100k missiles to kill venezuelan fisherman.
The woman who advocated for "the most lethal fighting force in the world" and boasted of Liz Cheneys support? Yeah she would have just gotten everything in place for the next republican to do instead. Like Biden did with the border camps and ICE.
Oh don't get me wrong, shed have found ways to be evil, I just don't think she'd specifically do that.
It's neat how it was either vote for not-trump or get trump, and so many haters loved them some trump.
Obviously you don’t understand that liberal means a terrible thing in other countries. Or, so I am reliably informed here. Regularly. Like, constantly.
It means "genocidal monster" here now.
it was better to abstain from voting or vote 3rd party than vote Harris because the Biden admin supported Israel because it legitimized the electoral system without affecting the outcome.
why is this homophobic trope still being played like it's a major own of fascists??
Please tell me in what ways the Trump admin was worse than the Biden admin on Palestine. Like an actual example.
I'm fairly certain that Biden never proposed bulldozing the Gaza Strip and building his own resort on it.
I'm fairly certain the president of the worlds largest settler colonial empire knew what its pet settler colony was planning on doing after the genocide.
Edit: bulldozers where in gaza pretty much day one
But did he propose it? Did he actually go up and say he wants Gaza cleared out with a Biden resort in its place? Did he share an AI video of gaudy gold statues and bikini clad women on the beach?
I agree that Biden's stance on Israel/Palestine was terrible but Trump is clearly doing and saying these things out of greed and personal enrichment without any regard for human rights.
Edit: not entertaining any more replies from bad faith arguments. I agree with the fundamental truth that Biden is a centrist and had a large part in Trump becoming president again but the additional minutae re: Gaza is what foreign actors like Russia really want most of all - to splinter the left even more than it already is. We can't let perfection get in the way of progress. We'll just continue to sit here and bicker amongst each other while Republicans continue to steamroll everyone, including Palestinians.
So your problem is merely the optics? That biden had better optics for his support of genocide? That makes him better how??
Like he knew fully well what the endgame was and didn't flinch, but I guess he wasn't as gauche as boasting about how he personally profits from it...
...Man, if I didn't know better I'd assume this post was satire.
You.
Nah, Netanyahu makes me ashamed of my Jewish heritage, the whole state of Israel and what it has been doing really does tbh. They're probably literally making people antisemitic since they try to conflate that with being anti Israel even though it's squarely separate.
Would be like saying people criticizing the USA are anti Christian or something along those lines.
Anyways, no, I think you know the right answer is Trump.
Him too. But he's not on this thread being a simp for netanyahu. You are.
Nobody is simping for Netanyahu I just would prefer a world where Harris won and Trump lost. Part of the reason Harris lost was people not voting for the Dem candidate and actively helping a person who has an even worse track record on Israeli-Palestinian relations win the office of the president.
It makes no sense. It's like not voting to have a golf ball put up your ass so the pineapple can get shoved up there instead.
then you should be upset that she supported genocide, Instead you're mad at the people who told you she would lose if she supported genocide.
Because they were right.
IF YOU THINK TYPING IN ALL CAPS WILL MAKE PEOPLE LISTEN TO YOU, YOU ARE INCORRECT.
AND YOU SAY HARRIS WAS THE "ONE PERSON" HUH. I DONT THINK YOU COUNT VERY WELL.
Do you remember that she was never in charge of anything except babysitting Congress?
Yup. These are the chucklefucks who handed Trump the presidency. Now they want to scream at everyone else, but themselves. Embarrassing.
