This this this this this this this this.

I have zero goddamn sympathy for any so-called "leftist" who didn't vote for Kamala. You have condoned neo-facism to stroke your own ego. No two ways about it. At least now they get to enjoy the fruits of their labor. Tell me, how's that self-righteousness taste?

    And despite this, trump is still worse. You can go on and on about this singular issue but at the end of this stupid disingenuous contortionist act, trump is still worse.

    You can't call yourself a "leftist" and vote for a conservative neo-liberal for president. There's no two ways about it. Saying otherwise is just a conservatives way of stroking their own ego. By undermining the leftist vote, you have condoned neo-fascism to stroke your own ego. At least neo-liberals now get to enjoy the fruits of their labor for creating this situation. Tell me, how does your own self-righteousnous taste?

    -see, i can do it too.

    I decided I'd rather die than vote for genocide.

    Looks like I'll get my wish. I'm fine with that.

    You say as the genocide in Gaza is being aided and abetted by Trump in a way it would never have been even by the Democrats.

    You guys are so happy to throw Palestinians under the bus for your black and white worldview

    Harris was speaking out about it, you just refused to listen.

    August: https://www.cnn.com/2024/08/23/politics/gaza-israel-harris-convention-speech/index.html

    "Vice President Kamala Harris called for the Palestinian people to be able to “realize their right to dignity, security, freedom and self-determination”

    September: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/watch-harris-says-two-state-solution-end-of-israel-hamas-war-is-crucial

    ""It’s unconscionable, and we are now at a place where, with (Hamas leader Yahya) Sinwar’s death, I do believe we have an opportunity to end this war, bring the hostages home, bring relief to the Palestinian people and work toward a two-state solution where Israel and the Palestinians, in equal measure, have security, where the Palestinian people have dignity, self-determination and the safety that they so rightly deserve," said Harris."

    Every month from becoming the nominee until the election: cease fire, hostage release, two state solution.

    These are not genocidal statements.

    Biden did NOT approve weapons for use in the genocide. You can see the repeated statements of fact on that.

    Biden approved weapons for the legitimate defense of Israel, which Israel then misappropriated and misdirected for use in Gaza. The blame for the Gazan genocide lies solely on Israel.

    https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cpvne94v1rdo

    "The president has made clear Israel has a right to defend its citizens, consistent with international law and international humanitarian law, and to deter aggression from Iran and its proxy organisations.

    "We will continue to provide the capabilities necessary for Israel's defence."

    At no point did any US agency approve, authorize, or coordinate the genocide. At all. That's a lie perpetuated by anti-US interests intent on blaming the US for everything bad that happens in the world.

    Biden did not once, ever, tell Israel "Why, yes, please, use these weapons to kill as many Palestinians as you want."

    The stated purpose for the weapons was the legitimate defense of Israel from hostile forces such as Iran.

    Israel then illegitimately used the weapons in Gaza, but that is not the reason they were provided.

    There is one country to blame for the genocide and that is Israel.

    Democrats wouldn't be speaking out against Israel under Harris. They'd be goose-stepping along with the administration no matter how many children Israel killed because the genocide was bipartisan before Trump.

    The two State solution has always been a canard deployed by genocidiers to delay peace and prolong conflict. Israel doesn't get to have an apartheid ethnostate on stolen land, even if Palestinians get a bantustan or two.

    There is only a one state solution: a multiethnic, multireligious, multiracial democracy from the river to the sea.

    We are not hardwired to be racist colonizers, they were programmed to be this way by decades of racist and fascist propaganda.

    The fact that Israelis are racist colonizers doesn't give them the right to steal the land.

    I'm not hearing a reason Israel should be allowed to exist.

    Again, showing you're totally OK with genocide so long as it's a people you don't personally like. Got it.

    Israel was created as a Jewish homeland because the world decided they were owed it after an organized and dedicated extermination campaign.

    Yes, it was wrong to just displace the Palestinians, but it was not wrong to give Jews a homeland after centuries of European discrimination and blood libel, culminating in the Holocaust.

    p.s. We are absolutely programmed to be racist.

    https://www.dw.com/en/kids-arent-born-racist-but-they-do-perceive-race-early/a-68674280

    "A landmark study in 2005, for instance, showed that babies perceived differences in race and exhibited preferences for their own race as early as at 3 months of age.

    In a 2017 study, children associated adults of their own race with happy music, and adults of a different one with sad music — when the kids were aged just 6 to 9 months old.

    While children showed a "weak racial bias" at 7 years old, by the age of 10, their bias had become "strong and reliable" in a 2014 study. White children in that study thought that Black children of the same age would feel less pain than them if they bumped their heads or bit their own tongues."

    This kind of false equivalence is a form of genocide denial.

    Israelis being Nazis mean they get treated like Nazi Germany.

    Jews can become Palestinian and live side-by-side with Palestinian Muslims and Christians, this isn't a genocidal statement.

    They can keep the parts of their culture that aren't based on settlement, white supremacy, eradication, or colonization. But they have a rotten society and Israel as a country was founded on rotten ideas and it has only rotted further. It's gotta go.

    This wouldn't be a instant or simple process, but it can be compared to Nazi Germany: being occupied and having their government dismantled and undergoing denazification wasn't genocide, even though Nazi Germany ceased to exist. The same can be done to Zionist Israel.

    I, for one, think marching Israelis through Gaza and forcing them to see their crimes in person would change a lot of hearts and minds. Make them smell th blood and shit and rot. Then reeducation to deprogram them from their genocidal settler beliefs.

    The colonial situation dehumanizes the colonized and the colonizer, but this process can be reversed.

    ... Or they can go back to fucking Europe.

    Yeah, and the US is #1 with 43% of all arms sales.

    Israel could not arm itself without the US. If they were forced to rely on domestic production they'd run out of bombs, and they have admitted this.

    Israel is the USs dog and Biden could stop them whenever he wanted. He didn't because he was an active collaborator in their genocide.

    ICE wasn't invented by Trump. If you look at the actual numbers he's basically just keeping up with Obama's deportations.

    He's just ripped the mask off, so people realize what ICE always was. We told you about ICE before and you didn't care, and now you do. Trump makes you see what was always right in front of you.

    Now. Are you going to do anything about it?

    A reasonable slip of the keyboard, in the heat of the moment.

    Anyway, for posterity here's the chart being referenced, since the guy posting it got banned and his comment removed:

    I think it's actually a pretty useful chart to keep around for the information it's actually conveying (as opposed to how the banned commenter was trying to misrepresent it) Glad I copied it from his other comment when I had the chance, LOL.

    The genocide is bipartisan.

    Also... do you think you're innocent? That you're absolved of this country's crimes?

    Do you think that all you need to do is vote for a Democrat and you can wash your hands?
