Politics Comm can’t understand why people don’t like Harris running right at every opportunity. Must just be bad actors wanting trump to win cause they’re critical. Or just upset DNC is sprinting right after convention
Stop making Israel an election issue and worry about your own damn country.
My own damn country is the one arming their genocide. I didn’t make it an election issue, they did. Fuck you.
jingoism is genuinely a disease. why should I have less empathy for people because they’re outside lines that dead generations drew around landmasses
why should I be expected to have more empathy for a person across the country in Los Angeles who I will never know than a person across the world in Palestine who I will never know. They weigh the same to me
Arming and providing cover against anyone that would think about helping stop it.
Oh and also cutting off aid due to unfounded Israeli alligations towards unwra
nah dude you can totally bear-hug a genocide in a country where like 75% of the genocider population routinely cycles through living in the US without affecting domestic politics at all, get it through your head. it’s totally fine and doesn’t affect your life at all that your manager at work personally shot 12 palestinian children in the head at point blank range.
I don’t want Trump to win and that’s why I’m not voting for Harris, since she’s functionally identical to Trump.
At this point you can expect the democrats to do something utterly deranged like put Trump in the cabinet as an Ultimate Display of Bipartisanship so yeah I’m not voting for the party that will literally put republicans in office
Lmao the chuds just
until they get the big wet boy back.
How many thousands of women and children were simply LIVING in their homes when Israel voluntarily and with full knowledge of their civilian presence dropped a 1,000lb JDAM on them to eliminate a singular HAMAS target or two?
Look I’m voting for Harris but I really, really dislike how she goes into explicit detail on the events of October 7th but doesn’t go into explicit detail on Palestinians crushed, decapitated, blown in half or to bits by explosives, maimed, shot, and yes sometimes raped by IDF. This double-standard of evocative imagery is in itself pretty disturbing.
this boils my blood
Look I’m voting for Harris
it’s the r/politics religious mantra
Still love the truck tho
Tbf he would get banned if he didn’t add that to his comment. Even I do it sometimes on Lib subs even though I’m not American.
What are you arguing for, then? If you give them a pass to still vote for Kamala then your rhetoric causes no material change. Just eat the ban at that point.
It usually goes like “I’m voting for Biden but he’s committing genocide and should be prosecuted for it hence I will now be looking for third party candidates like Jill Stein”.
but why bother even talking with them if you have to say stupid shit to not get banned?
Yeah ironic liberalism is still liberalism
comfortable liberal who would be mollified by “we see you, we hear you” and empty platitudes mildly upset about lack of same
I want to
I’m speaking
Libs turned that shit into a meme. Kids dying and… Fuck this pisses me offkeep the mics on during the debate so she can say it to trump
100% going to happen
That thread is so painful.
These idiots would rather burn to death than get out of a house if a ‘tanky’ said the house was on fire
“Let’s just agree to disagree,” said the liberal to the smoke detector.
Heh, these stupid tankies keep saying the house is on fire. They’re probably repeating Russian propaganda to benefit Trump.
It’s always the same. Down to the well actually here’s why turning it into glass is worse than just starving them like comments.
That shit is so disingenuous, “israel” wants to colonize that land, nobody is dropping a nuke anywhere.
The genocidal procedures taken by the IOF would not be different under Trump vs Harris.
But brah, it’s totally acceptable to overreact when one candidate doesn’t give us every little fucking thing we want, and MORE. They better cowtow, or I’m gonna keep being mean in comments because that’s useful and productive for reealz.
I’ll totally trash their bullshit because I’m not “working for the man”, dawg. Kamala is just more bullllshiiiit or whatever stupid thing we people say. Palestine on ma dingdong, and JillStein4Prez ✌️💩💩
It was a mistake to look at the comments
I hate this “oh so you want a perfect candidate who gives you everything you want” rhetoric.
- yes obviously that’d be ideal
But
- we live in the belly of the most murderous empire in human history, so I don’t expect it, and the only demand I have, the only one (1) is “don’t commit a genocide.” I hate the rest of the Biden/Harris
platformregime’s likely policies (they don’t want to share a public platform) too, but if I genuinely believed she’d try to stop the genocide I’d hold my nose and voted for her, I’ve (I’m embarrassed to admit in such a cool radical space) done it before several times since I started hating the Dems out of hating the Republicans more, but I cannot in the face of genocide.
but if I genuinely believed she’d try to stop the genocide I’d hold my nose and voted for her, I’ve (I’m embarrassed to admit in such a cool radical space)
That’s nothing to be embarrassed about, if that were a campaign promise (though her being the current VP and the genocide still going on would be fucked in it’s own right) then that’s a real reason to actually
, it’s something actionable and would help millions, tangibly by allowing them to live, if ever voting in this hellscape mattered that’s a compelling reason to. I’m sure many of us were ready to vote for Bernie because of his campaign promises and like that campaign, of course we can’t have that, because this democracy is a farceNo I mean like I voted for Biden because the “Look he can’t possibly be worse than Trump, do you really not care about abortion rights?” propaganda got to me even though I found Biden himself despicable (and then he turned around and committed genocide, so much for harm reduction. That’s what I’m kind of ashamed of.
If I genuinely thought Kamala Harris would be Biden term 2 unchanged except working against the genocide instead of for it I’d be browbeating everyone I knew to vote for her.
Ohh I hear you. I do wish more people would reflect like you have on the promises Biden gave and the administration we got. Amnesia has taken hold.
I’d also be voting for her if she vowed to change course. Funny how you can get my vote that way.
Jill Stein is the compromise, you fucking lib. She is not my ideal candidate. The alternative is American Cultural Revolution. It will involve lots of guns and rope. You will not enjoy this alternative.
Why are they talking like a right-wing stereotype of a black person?
I think they’re trying to imitate zoomer hippies lol
Sorting by controversial really brings out the bad takes.
We’re gonna need a bigger poop

I gotta say, I am so fucking angry about the abortion restrictions that the scumbag GOP implemented, that I will vote to keep the republicans out of power no matter what. as much as I hate the democrats, harris, and their genocidal policy in gaza, I also hate the republicans who support the same policies PLUS support murdering women through abortion restrictions.
call me a lib if you want. but I want to punish the republicans for the abortion shit and I have not been able to yet at all so I will not skip the chance to do so.
call me a lib if you want
the dems are going to do about reproductive rights what they’ve done for the last forty years: jack shit while they fundraise off it. so this just boils down to genocide apologia to me
In 2007, then Senator Obama told Planned Parenthood signing that law would be “the first thing I’d do as president.”
In April, 2009, the recently inaugurated Obama said that legislation to codify abortion rights into federal law “is not the highest legislative priority.”
The democrats also had the numbers to end the filibuster and do it in the last congress but are evidently unwilling or incapable
Not Obama! Not the golden boy!!
The Democrats refuse to do any of the obvious things it would take to fix that shit. All you’re doing is rewarding them for genocide.
Abortion bans are terrible. They’re still not as heinous as literal genocide. They’re still easier to solve and fight than genocide, in ways jat are obvious to anyone with a little spine and creativity.
Let’s flip the script a little:
"I gotta say, I am so fucking angry about the genocide that the scumbag Democrats are committing, that I will vote (Republican) to keep the Democrats out of power no matter what. As much as I hate the Republicans, Trump, and their rapist policies in the US, I also hate the Democrats who materially support the same policies PLUS support genociding Palestinians.
Vote PSL, vote Green, or don’t vote at all. If you choose to vote for genocide then you send rhe message that genocide is ok, make yourself complicit, and deserve whatever resulting karmic punishment comes your way.
Have some fucking solidarity. If you hate Republicans that much then find a way to hurt them that doesn’t involve empowering Nazis.
except the difference is that republicans ALSO support the genocide in palestine. making your analogy inaccurate.
I have solidarity with the women who can’t get abortions, and exercise it one way that takes 5 minutes, by voting for the party that can feasibly win and supports abortion rights. there is no viable option in the presidential election to have solidarity with palestinians and with women, unfortunately. I will have to express my solidarity with palestinians outside of the ballot box.
The Democrats also support abortion bans. They had a chance to codify abortion rights under Obama but didn’t. They stood by as Republicans restricted abortion access in many states even before the Dobbs decision. They’ve had control of the presidency since 2021 and haven’t done anything to fix the Supreme Court stacking.
Democrats would rather use abortion as a fundraising cudgel than do anything about it.
Doesn’t sound like you have solidarity with Palestinian women.

Joe “Muslim Ban” Biden! Am I doing it right?
woop woop woop this thing is detecting genocide apologia off the chartsNice pic… Now explain how a Trump win is better for Gaza.
Explain the differences in their actual policies put into practice, nerd
Neither candidate will be better for gaza because both parties don’t want gaza to exist anymore.
There is in fact an argument to be made that since Trump is so fucking lazy and senile he’ll do less harm because he’ll be capable of less things in general
Fuck just look at the numbers on Trump vs. Biden when it comes to deportations, new oil well approvals, military budget, etc.
Please explain why we should be complicit in voting for genocide.
It isn’t. Now explain how a Harris win is better for Gaza.
Spoiler alert!
You can’t.
Explain how a Harris win is first.
The best case for Gaza is Harris taking a serious stand against sending weapons to Israel in order to court the many voters who have expressed that support of a genocide is a deal breaker. That won’t happen without people protesting the policies of this administration and making it clear that they won’t accept this.
Gaza protestors aren’t focusing on how they’re withholding their votes from Trump because they weren’t going to vote for Trump in the first place so there is no leverage.
disenfranchising Democrats
deeply unserious vote brained gabagool
Sorry, but Harris is the best case scenario for Gaza.
Incorrect. Claudia De La Cruz, Jill Stein, and other candidates are firmly anti-genocide, unlike Harris who is pro-genocide.
Donald “Muslim Ban” Trump will help make the current situation in Gaza look quaint.
What, materially, would he do that the DNC isn’t already doing?
find it really odd that protesters in the U.S. absolutely refuse to discuss Trump -who still has a good chance of winning- in terms of Gaza.
Trump isn’t President. None of us here want Trump either, both Kamala and Trump are aligned on being pro-genocide, therefore neither is an option.
s to the degree that I firmly believe protest leadership is less about helping Gaza and more about disenfranchising Democrats.
The Democrats need to be disenfranchised if they continue to support genocide. Taking a pro-genocide stance like the DNC is a bad thing and should be punished.
And to all those who sputter, “it’s Biden/Harris paying Israel”, I say this: U.S. has been supporting Israel for 80 years and that includes the Trump administration.
Correct. Death to America, the world will not be free from the tyranny of the American Empire until it collapses.
And to all those who sputter, “it’s Biden/Harris paying Israel”, I say this: U.S. has been supporting Israel for 80 years and that includes the Trump administration.
That’s why we’re voting for neither of them and consider every modern president a war criminal.
You love killing babies.
Hey two people are offering to burn down my house and kill my family. One of them will cry and say sorry after. The other one will flip me off and piss on my shoes. I know which offer I’m going to accept!
Trump could finally get the well-deserved infarction we’ve all been waiting for and y’all would instantly pivot to the next excuse for why nothing can get better ever without a hint of cognitive dissonance.
Lol you’re actually serious
“Trump shit my pants”
Trump is the new hitler for liberals. A scapegoat they can wash off all their sins on. The jesus of evil.
A sin-eater for American capitalism
you suck
I’m not voting for someone complicit in genocide. If you want to, go for it, but don’t act like you kicking the can down the road for four years in any way acts as harm reduction.
I can only express my hatred for you and every genocidal liberal worm through this song
I hope it stays dark forever
I hope the worst isn’t over
I hope that you blink before I do
And I hope I never get sober
And I hope when you think of me years down the line you can’t find one good thing to say
And I hope that if I had the strength to walk out you’d stay the hell out of my way
I am drowning
There is no sign of land
You are coming down with me
Hand in unlovable hand
And I hope you die
I hope we both die
