I like asking people like this what they specifically are doing about the genocide since I spend hours a week on email and phone campaigns but still agree with people like jeffw up there.
Somehow, none of them ever tell me what they do. Probably because what they do is berate others on the internet and that’s as far as it goes.
Hell most aren’t even real people. Where’s that Linkerbaan asshole that was help running the genocide Joe train here? Haven’t seen him in a while, curious
You’re in agreement with those berating others for doing what is within their very limited power in a “democracy” where leaders oppose the will of 80% of their base, meanwhile, you zero-in on what few voters dared to not vote for business as usual despite the democractic party having historically low support of around 30%. Your campaigning for the democrats does more harm than good at this stage and history will not be kind enough to distinguish between the two parties. What the Trump regime is enacting today is an extension of existing US policy that democrats have participated in normalizing including immigration and foreign policy only directed inwards with the veneer stripped away.
No. No I am not. There is a hell of a lot more they can do.
As I have already said, I spend 4-5 hours a week contacting politicians on behalf of JVP.
What do you do? Have you sent even one form letter? Made one phone call? Shown up to one office? When was the last time you had a one-on-one conversation with a Palestinian about their wishes and needs?
Also, I never campaigned for anyone, so I have no idea why you’re lying.
You literally stated you were campaigning in context of not supporting third parties so maybe clarify more in the future. I’m Lebanese and was in vicinity of bombing not too long ago. Again, I’m not saying to not participate in polticial life but to participate productively and not against the interest of people domestically and abroad which is what the Democrats clearly represent (and of course the Republicans are an even bigger enemy of humanity but that goes without saying) of at this stage for anyone with genuine convictions looking beyond rhetoric. Harm reduction did not work in 2016, 2020 or 2024 and will not work moving forward unless you seek alternative parties/independents.
At the time of your first comment you had not. Why would I say something nasty about jews??? You’re being deliberately obtuse and making questionable assumptions. Not continuing a bad faith discussion.

I quit lurking and finally signed up just to start pushing back against Linkerbaan. When i found out he got banned, it was a good day.
He got an instance ban thankfully.

Where did I say that? Please quote me.
Because, again, I never campaigned for anyone.
I have no idea why you are continuing to maintain this silly lie.
“I spend hours a week on email and phone campaigns”
Like I said you did not specify who you were campaigning for
I literally did. JVP.

Now I presume it’s time for you to say something nasty about Jews, even the ones trying to stop this genocide.

They didn’t even have the decency to vote third party
