What are you talking about? FFS can no one on this site just actually talk like a human? I’m not trying to ‘own’ you or something

I don’t think they should do that but if they really believed he was Hitler 2.0 why wouldn’t they? They have no problem killing people everyday.

I don’t think we should lose faith in people, that’s what all those in power want. The American people are constantly propagandized, most people can’t trust what information is true or false especially when it comes to politics. I just think all the blaming of average progressive voters I’ve seen is misplaced.

There was no way for these sham elections to be a ‘win’ for anyone but fascists and corporations. I am just impressed so many people believe that leftists actually had enough sway to tank Kamala’s campaign.

How do you know Kamala’s winning would even be better for vulnerable people? Roe v Wade was nullified under the administration she was a key part of. On trans rights she said she would ‘follow the law’. We would have the most ‘lethal military’ and a stronger border. They have sent billions in defiance of international law to support groups committing genocide.

And how many people voted for Kamala in her primary to earn the nomination? To protect democracy from Trump apparently we had to forego democracy.

This thinking is a small minority of thought among voters. Thank you for believing us leftists are such a powerful bloc though. I can’t move to protect myself and many others can’t, I’m glad you are privileged enough to escape. If the democrat establishment actually believed Trump was such a major threat to democracy and life why wouldn’t they do more to stop it? They can use the national security state to kill whoever worldwide, couldn’t they have said Trump was a threat to national security?

It represents a large portion, but progressive policies are widely popular. Even in states Trump won there were votes passed to protect abortion access and increase minimum wage.

Most people vote based on vibes, and there were no progressive or positive vibes put forward by the dems this campaign. They signaled a ‘lethal military’, tighter borders, and sought endorsements from prominent Republicans, trying to win votes that would never go to their party anyway, alienating anyone who might have believed in the genuineness of the dems as ‘progressives’.

They are still evil though, why it always a choice of “evil vs evil”? We don’t have to have this electoral system, we don’t have to have these candidates, humanity can do so much better. The only way anyone against genocide or the corporatist status quo could show disagreement is by not voting. If democrats always have the lefts vote no matter what, then they wouldn’t even have to be lesser evil.

Yeah fuck all extremists, “I want all people to have healthcare and housing” vs “I want to eradicate non-white people” are the same

Trump isn’t an exception, if US presidents could be tried for warcrimes there would be several things to charge him with from his first term already.

The official death toll is around 43k but estimates range much higher, likely over 100,000. The entire healthcare system in Gaza has collapsed so they cannot identify and put an official tally on many of those killed.

She can say whatever she wants, she has been part of the administration funding this genocide, she could have used her position to be more firm about stopping the aggression from Israel but has been nothing but supportive, regardless of what sham talks of ceasefire they may have tried to claim. Is there any evidence that she will take action that would be meaningfully different than what Trump would do?

Join the IDF and see for yourself then. Why do you think there is a crisis of morale in the IDF? There was an interview from an IDF soldier talking how emotionally taxing it was for him to drive a bulldozer over dozens of people. Even Israeli news points out how horrific the average actions of the IDF are.

If a group of militants decided to have a meeting in the basement of a fully occupied apartment building in NYC, you believe it would be ethical for the US military to destroy the building and kill hundreds of people in their homes?

Supporting genocide seems like a pretty good redline to focus on though. When both candidates promise to maintain or increase the genocide, why does this sham of a democracy deserve to be supported? This electoral system and US imperialism doesn’t have to be endless, partaking in the process only serves to legitimize the horrors commited daily.

Obama sucks, Biden sucks, all establishment politicians including Trump don’t give a fuck about you. He calls his supporters idiots, he has said he doesn’t believe what he says to people but just says the things that his base wants to hear, like a TV entertainer, because that is his primary skill. He believes in nothing, and Kamala isn’t really better.

It’s possible to support people and actions that actually do help us all, there are many ways to help the country besides supporting sham politicians, who will do nothing to help us, will line the pockets of the wealthy and send more young people into endless wars.

Why do you think billionaires and CEOs love Trump? Because they know he will increase their profits, and he already has. This money comes from the lower class. The rich support the Dems too because they aren’t much better if at all when it comes to corporate greed and theft of the people.

We’re going to eat your children obviously

Last time Lebanon and Israel were at war Israel lost. Hezbollah is better armed and trained now, and Israel is more isolated than ever. Israel is bombing civilian areas now, using terrorism because they cannot effectively stop Hezbollah rockets from hitting targets in ‘Israel’. People of Lebanon support Hezbollah and actions against Israel, they aren’t being held hostage.

They have attacked the IDF many times and secured numerous casualities, just recently they struck an IDF intelligence unit with drones killing dozens, resulting in the commander’s resignation.

This attack is a warcrime based on treaties that Israel has itself signed to, and has been recognized as such for decades.

This post isn’t even saying she is trans or that there was any connection to anything irl, just a way to point out how simple it should be to give someone respect. It’s also not a political agenda being supported, it’s basic decency.

And why tf does it matter which Trek was someone’s first? I wasn’t born in the 50s so I didn’t start with the original series. It’s been going on for decades, people can start wherever.

What are you on about? As a mainliner hexer we would be happy to see Trump not living, just look at the response when he was shot or got covid.
