yeah, zero interest in supporting kamala "keep arming isreal" fucking harris again.
Yeah Trump was definitely better choice for this. Thank God we got Trump eh
Can they put forward a candidate who doesn't want to play an active role in arming a genocide? Is that just too much to ask? Genuinely asking, cause it kind of sounds like that's what youre trying to say. 2024 election is done, it's over. This is about what comes next.
No they won't oppose genocide. They oppose their own voters instead.
Pain, suffering, loss of rights, and death because a bunch of dumb assholes stayed home or voted 3rd party instead of accepting that voting Harris was infinitely more responsible and better for our nation than staying home or voting 3rd party?
No, the pain, suffering loss of rights and death were because the DNC decided that continuing a genocide was more important than winning an election against one of the least popular presidents we've ever had.
Maybe next time they should pick a candidate that the people actually want.
So you're blaming the voters for not supporting genocide? And you absolve the people who actually support genocide?
Thanks for ignoring my whole comment. If you're defeatist, you've decided that it's all over, then stay out of the conversation. Your genocide defending commentary is not required or requested. If you're not done, you're not defeatist then demand that your political party do better.
Mmmm. Censorship. Tastes like Reddit.
Zionism is a genocidal colonial ideology. It's not a religion. Zionists can be jewish, christian, atheist, even muslim, etc. Likewise not all jews are zionist. In fact the vast majority of zionists in USA are christian.
The conflation of judaism with zionism is anti-semitic. It's no surprise that you're using this bullshit to promote genocide. That's the entire point.
There's really only one religion involved. It's the religion of fascism:

It's not everyone.
Two genocidal candidates -> Fascism
What else did you expect?
How's that working out for you?
Harris could've eased Israel. Trump is capitulating 1000%. Gaza will be an ash pile in a year.
Thank fuck you didn't vote for Harris lmao. What a load of single-issue dogshit.
Harris would not have eased Israel, she herself said as much.
This comment isn't about the 2024 election, it's about the next one. Can the DNC not provide a candidate who refuses to arm a military committing genocide?
Politics may be too nuanced for you, I guess.
Mm. Very America centric of you to believe that no one should care if America commits or supports genocide in other countries.
What next one? The vote will either be stolen again or so stacked in the right's favor that it won't matter what anyone does.
I mean I mostly agree. The subject of the post is the possible candidate of a 2028 election.
When will you people learn "fuck you, accept this candidate or else" doesn't work? You can't blackmail and extort your constituents.
It's working out about as well as we expected it would. The Democrats were loudly told that running a terrible candidate, who supported genocide was a bad idea. They didn't listen, and here we are.
I feel like getting made at the people who couldn't stomach voting for a genocidist is the wrong strategy. Getting mad at the people who ran on a platform of genocide seems like a better strategy.
Maybe Facebook is more your speed. Lemmy might be too challenging for you.
2/5, being on lemmy very cool yes, very smart XD.
But seriously, why can't you read?
Says it all, really.
Exactly! These people argue against imagined opinions from their own dogmatic bubble even when the opposite is spelled out in front of them. It's well beyond and good faith or reason.
