Because Trump is so likely to be a better choice for solving the Israel-Gaza crisis, lol.
Who the fuck said anything about Trump? Not sure why you think people dying from American bombs give a fuck about who sent them.
Can you crawl out of your narrow worldview for just a second and recognize that real people are experiencing a real genocide?
That’s not some Russian propaganda spin either, but recognized by the ICJ.
Who the fuck said I don’t believe there’s a genocide going on?
calling it the “Israel-Gaza crisis” implies equivalence. As somebody else notes, not using the word genocide is also a string signal that you don’t believe it’s a genocide. Finally, you’ll used “lol” when talking about a genocide. In short, all evidence in your message suggests that you do not take it seriously.
If the point of your comment isn’t to minimize suffering and mock people for their political choice, then what is the point of your comment?
When you can’t even call it a genocide of Gazans by Israel you should rethink whether you should even comment.
Nobody said that, neither choice is going to solve it so it’s better to abandon both if genocide is a red line for you.
Aha, so just don’t participate. Cool cool.
I’m all on-board with revolution.
What’s the plan, my friend? How do you plan to fight against knife-missiles?
There are currently armed militias targeting bureaucrats for violence due to Republican misinformation. How many more escalations really remain before a full-blown civil war?
I’m not advocating for revolution, but it certainly seems more likely than the Democrats dropping their unwavering support for Israel.
There have always been armed militias targeting the federal government. You know who those armed militias support for President? You know which candidate would welcome those armed militias?
I don’t disagree, homey. Seems like the militias are going to be a growing problem regardless of the election. What we disagree on here is the solution.
For me, the solution is for the Dems to call the genocide what it is and force a ceasefire.
I’m not judging people for pulling the only lever the US system gives them. I don’t advocate for voting for Trump and don’t recommend anyone does, but I do understand how some people might choose to vote against the people who are currently bombing them with the hope that the only other option won’t.
Damn, that’s fucked up, sounds like the democrats should do something other then support genocidal states if they want that support so desperately.
Yeah, why haven’t there been any Democrat things done by Democrats lately?
“will vote against Harris” (read: for trump, because that is how our trash elections work) “Neither side will do the right thing on the genocide…so we will elect the one with the worst position and get a bonus of bringing about all manner of horrible outcomes here at home too!”
Alrighty, it’s your vote. MAGA uses it to make emotionally driven decisions based on ignorance for outcomes that hurt themselves and those around them, it is fair to let these well-meaning clowns join them in that. Our very own blueMAGA. I hope you lose in a mind-shattering crushing defeat, and then Kamala proves you all wrong. I have my doubts on the last bit, but if y’all can be stupid enough to vote for trump, I can be the same to hope for unlikely change (with the benefit of not also supporting suffering here too).
👍
They aren’t voting for Trump, but Claudia De La Crúz and Jill Stein.
Yup every vote that isn’t for Kamala is less votes the other side has to get to win. All for someone that has zero chance. That is voting for trump by proxy. GJ 👍
A vote for Harris is a vote for Trump!
You should educate yourself by reading The Problem of Political Leadership in the Formation and Development of the Nation and the Modern State in Italy from Gramsci’s Prison Notebooks and studying trasformismo in Italian history instead of infantilizing an entire marginalized group over their justified stance against the system currently genociding their friends and family 👍 trust me, you’ll learn a lot about our current political situation.
the stark contrast between the .world version of this post and this one makes me doubt that the lemmyverse has any stamina.
You mean the reaction (downvotes) in the .world instances, right?
I think the contrast reflects the real diversity of opinions, and not lack of stamina. Of course I am disappointed with the downvotes and the hostile comments to anything that might oppose Harris. But the level of discourse in Lemmy is a lot better than Twitter, FB, etc.
So I’m going to keep posting these to as many communities as I can. :-)
It’s becoming multipolar, with right-wingers on the Lemmy.world side and left wingers on the Lemmy.ml side, and the various instances aligned with each and neither. The Lemmy.world moderators are also Zionists that allow hasbara but censor comments that show the complicity of the Democrats in genocide as “misinformation.”
