You know what would to be really, REALLY uncomfortable?

If Harris loses, there's a strong chance that it might be over this terrible war. What a stupid, stupid reason to have to live through another Trump presidency.

What a stupid, stupid reason to have to live through another Trump presidency and continue the war unchanged.

FTFY

What a stupid, stupid reason to have to live through another Trump presidency and continue the war, with even more support than ever.

FTFY

Evangelicals like the genocide, brings their death cult closer to its end.

Except it really doesn't since that world already ended in the mid 1800s, much like the Green Sahara period ending, and The Bronze Age Collapse ended the world 6000 years ago causing them to write that apocalyptic fictive.

How many horse drawn carriages do you see on a daily basis? How many oxen plow your fields? That was the norm until the mid to late 1800s. That world already ended. They just refuse to accept their own books.

No. It will be so much worse.

[–] YeetPics@mander.xyz 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Nah, your boy trump promises to end the war in mere hours (with industrial genocide).

So let's not vote for kkkamala harriss because we care so much about Palestinians.

[–] volodya_ilich@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago (3 children)

The genocide in Gaza is bipartisan, and the ongoing atrocities are taking place under a democrat administration.

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

If it's bipartisan then you are free to vote based on other issues.

[–] volodya_ilich@lemm.ee -5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

"we can ignore genocide as long as it's bipartisan"

[–] YeetPics@mander.xyz 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Go fight with Hamas if you're so emboldened to direct action.

You won't, of course.

Your "totally rational and justified" calls for voting differently surely will fix the situation on the other side of the planet. You're totally saving the Palestinians!

the situation on the other side of the planet

Not so far down the planet when it's your government funding the genocide, giving the perpetrators their political legitimacy in the international sphere, and literally shipping the weapons with which the genocide is carried out.

go fight with hamas

Go make a counter-reactionary terrorist insurgency or political group in the US if you're so concerned about the other types of rights you'll lose if Trump gets into office

Good one, troll.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Harris has promised to enforce the laws of the US. If she does do, then The Hayes Act would prohibit any arms shipments to Israel. I'm not saying that is definitely what she intends to do, I am saying that is the most diplomatic she can be in the current political climate of the US, and still win, with the intention of deescalation in Israel while still supporting Ukraine.

[–] volodya_ilich@lemm.ee -1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The party is literally in the government right now. Biden is a rotting corpse who is obviously not making the decisions for US international policy, so the arm deals with Israel are with the full consent and approval of all the democrat elites. Harris won't change this as it hasn't changed for the past 80 years.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Biden is a rotting corpse, but he's also a self admitted Zionist. Harris isn't.

[–] volodya_ilich@lemm.ee -1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Harris openly said in the DNC convention that she believes in "Israel's right to defend itself", while not letting any pro-palestinian talk in the convention (cops had a representative though). It's painfully obvious.

[–] YeetPics@mander.xyz 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Oh no, the person running for POTUS didn't want protesters at her rally? Why could this be? She must love killing Palestinians because I can't fathom the image of protesters at a convention would sully her image and hurt her chances at winning.

Seriously, are you this fucking dense?

[–] volodya_ilich@lemm.ee -1 points 2 months ago

Ok, so if it hurts the party's image being pro-genocide, they can solve it very easily right now while they're in government

[–] YeetPics@mander.xyz 1 points 2 months ago

Netanyahu is a Democrat?
