That's not the flex he thinks it is.
Hopefully Harris can do better.

Harris, as in of the Biden-Harris administration, is complicit and toes the exact same line.
Don't support genocide candidates.
Hey y'all, at least Gaza is saved, right? Take that, Kamala! Haha! Both sides are the same! All of this definitely would have happened under Kamala, it's so obvious! Two wings of the same bird amirite?!
This was a liberal-run and liberal-funded genocide for 15 months. They have handed a righter wing liberal the reins because they could not even run an anti-genocide candidate.
You should feel deep shame at thinking you were even remotely in the right. Genocide apologists should be tried at the Hague.
Grown-ups now you can choose heavy genocide Trump or kind of genocide Harris. Grown-ups know you have to pick one.
Biden-Harris genocide is probably more harmful as it gets liberals to consent to it, both domestically and through more competent foreign policy maneuvers. Though even then they are pushing beyond what the NatSec should want.
Though really, I don't think I should need to say or repeat this: you should oppose genocide. Attempting to lesser evil it is disgusting and, of course, very poor logic.
What about Ukraine? Trump will hand over everyone in that country while speeding up climate change with "drill baby drill". As the world becomes less livable, more wars and genocide will fallow.
What about Ukraine?
First, under no circumstances should you support genocide. Stop trying to excuse genocide. Actually fight against it. You know that question, "what would you have done against the Holocaust?" Right now it would be, "fret about which Hitler to support and make excuses about how Jewish people would be killed anyways".
Anyways.
The Biden-Harris administration's policies on Ukraine are exacting maximum pain on the people of Ukraine, using them as a tool to hurt Russia. At every step of the way, only maximum pressure on Russia has been their consideration. So either accept that the most likely outcome of Trump there would be a deescalation or acknowledge that the motivation here is bloodlust.
Trump will hand over everyone in that country
Ukraine already lost. Its future has been mortgaged to western financial interests and it will not be regaining its lost territories. The people therr have been shelled by Kyiv's far right forces (the ones with Nazi tattoos) for a decade, they aren't sympathetic to Kyiv even if some territory were, under wild circumstances, returned. It was never plausible for Ukraine to win militarily. All of liberals' talk about Ukraine is fantasy children's tales that have nothing to do with reality.
Dragging out Ukraine is just forcing more death and disposession on the Ukrainian people.
while speeding up climate change with "drill baby drill".
The Biden-Harris administration has set record levels of US fossil fuel production and is an exporter of oil and natural gas. Harris has publicly promised to support fracking, a tool that, when novel, Obama used as an international weapon to crash oil prices and hit targets of US empire - Venezuela, Russia, Iran.
Both parties are against the continued survival of humanity re: climate change, one of them just pretends otherwise, throwing money at a domestic renewables industry that largely just routes it to finance and tech rather than produxtive capacity. Oh, and continuing Trump's trade war on China, which is currently threatening to end large swaths of the US solar industry as installations of new solar panels are waaaaay backed up.
As the world becomes less livable, more wars and genocide will fallow.
So get off your butt and start fighting the good fight! Cheerleading genocidal frackers definitely isn't that.
Taking a little lesser choice isn't cheering. Never complain about anyone else's logic ever again.
Pushing a vote for a genocider is cheerleading. Your role is on the sidelines saying, "go team!" The feigned reluctance doesn't change the role.
Speaking of "ever again", have you ever heard the phrase, "never again"?
"Hitler promises to improve concentration camp conditions".
What point do you think you are making?
Thanks for Godwin-ing the threat to prove my point
Some things are actually comparable to Nazis, you know. Like genocide and concentration camps.
I'll take this to mean you have no response.
No response! I was wrong and you were right! With Kamala gone, Gaza is saved and everything is literally the same! Kamala would have done everything Trump is doing, it's so obvious! We're safe in the hands of trump, you saved us from Kamala! Bless you!
No response!
That's right. You ghosted for 4 months.
I was wrong and you were right!
Yep.
With Kamala gone, Gaza is saved and everything is literally the same!
I never said either thing would happen. You're making things up like a child and somehow think that smugness is the appropriate emotiom to accompany it.
Kamala would have done everything Trump is doing, it's so obvious!
Kamala would continue the Biden administration's genocide.
We're safe in the hands of trump, you saved us from Kamala! Bless you!
I quoted this because I thought it would be a nea thing. But it's still just delusional fabrications.
Try to think for yourself. Just a little bit. And be honest.
The genocide is happening under Democratic control through the Biden/Harris administration and the biggest crackdowns on protests are happening in blue states like California and New York possibly even more so than red states like Texas. There is no "kind of" about Harris's stance on genocide.
Hey y'all, at least Gaza is saved, right? Take that, Kamala! Haha! Both sides are the same! All of this definitely would have happened under Kamala, it's so obvious! Two wings of the same bird amirite?!
The wealthy practically control both parties in government and the country is full of Nazis, a Democrat winning would have only delayed the inevitable that hasn't already happened yet
Imagine having a brain so incredibly aerodynamically smooth that you can look around right now and say yeah, this would happen under Kamala. And good thing too, because that means I'm off the hook.
What exactly are you on about? Isn't she the current vice president that has expressed her unwavering support for Israel countless times already? What could possibly change with her?
Hey y'all, at least Gaza is saved, right? Take that, Kamala! Haha! Both sides are the same! All of this definitely would have happened under Kamala, it's so obvious! Two wings of the same bird amirite?!
For one, it would be incredibly stupid to go against Israel in this political climate because the US gov loves genocide. She needs to win the election, and she needs the warmongers to support her. If she was going to do anything, it would be after the election if she is president. We won't know until then, but we can't say we know now.
Vice presidents don't decide shit, she definitely isn't going to cause infighting with Biden.
Vote her in office and protest/halt the economy until she gives in. Much better chance doing that with her than any other candidate. Americans are quick to bitch about israel, but they love their military budget, their "thank you for your service" and the monthly advanced weapons reveals. Get war out of americans you might see it leave the politicians. Start by attacking the outrageous military budget if you want to help Palestinians.

And as soon as she wins her team starts thinking about her second term, so this still applies, but if we all help her get re-elected four years from now then maybe we can hope for a positive turn for real.
#We did it guys. We rejected Kamala and saved Gaza!
