Stop pretending Harris is running a flawless campaign and ButTrUmP when the stupid lie gets debunked.
Comment on Why is Kamala Harris being held at such a higher standard than Trump this election?
Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoTrump also supports genocide. Nobody who doesn’t can possibly win.
If this is your line then you should probably just never vote ever, because this won’t ever change.

I’m not pretending that. I’m pointing out that the official policy of the US since before my parents were born has been to support Israel no matter what, and if that was going to change because anybody cared what was happening to Palestinians it would have happened decades ago.
So you need to accept that the country you live in will do heinous shit that you loathe and there’s nothing you can do about it.
Linkerbaan@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
You need to accept that anyone enabling it is responsible. Anyone voting Democrat or Republcian is complicit in Genocide and should face tribunals.

No. If you vote Republican OR neither, you are supporting TWO genocides. Because the Republicans want more than just Palestinians dead, like trans people, and a vote for third party as it is right now is only helping that along.

Wow dude, do you live in a make believe world where anyone who you don’t agree with gets the French razor?
Saying anyone who supports either side should face a tribunal is insane and completely idiotic.
I hope one day you can learn just because you have such a high radical leaning and believe death is deserved upon all who disagree with your ideology, doesn’t mean that it should be done.

Really great job silencing yourself to prove a point. People without voices are great at enacting change 🙄
zeppo@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Brilliant, I’ll just vote for a candidate who can’t possibly win. Then I’m all set.
Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Yeah, that too. My tax dollars are going to kill children. Just like my father and his father before him.
Welcome to America.

Ahh, I love you, bro. This place is wild, ain’t it? If one doesn’t fall in line to their militant liberal agenda, you’re ignorant MAGA scum.
I’m just glad to see someone else here trying to talk some sense.
Ledivin@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
We use a first past the post system. Stop denying reality as if your third party candidate matters in the slightest. Until we get some sort of ranked choice/etc, they literally couldn’t matter less

We’ve been trying to tell this shining intellectual star and friends that for 6 months but somehow they aren’t able to understand those comments.
Linkerbaan@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
A voting system is not relevant to denying support for Genocide. Read what post you are in.
jorp@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
It’s funny that “candidates have to support genocide or they can’t win” is motivating you to punch left instead of rioting in the streets against AIPAC
Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
They had riots. It didn’t work.

I’m pretty doubtful the luminary you replied to lives in or has ever even been to the US.
Snowpix@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
They appear to be from the Netherlands, or a similar European country. TrickDacy pointed out their time zones of activity aren’t based in the US, and the name Linkerbaan stems from Dutch.

There have been people pushing this on Lemmy all year (previously against Biden) and that’s correct. They can never really respond to logic about how their concepts would result in Trump being more likely to win, which would be worse for Palestinians. Or how Trump’s many other horrific policies would be worse for a huge number of other people, such as Central Americans and trans people. Just “genocide bro!!” over and over.
There have been a few pathetic attempts at making logic for it like “I can’t vote to support genocide!” (As in, vote 3rd party? So, convince an other wise D voter to vote 3rd party - who does that help? Huh) or “we need to send the democrats a message so they reform!”. Not by throwing the election to Trump, no. Someone a few months ago was insisting “we’re just not supporting Biden now to pressure him, then of course we’ll vote for him in the general election”. Ah yes, by smearing him all over social media for months, you’re supporting Biden and progressive politics. I totally believe that.
