    Chuds are such crybullies. Can’t stand people disagreeing with them so they have to cancel anyone with even the mildest criticism of them.

    I wasn’t a fan of how Erika claimed to support Palestine and then immediately started promoting Kamala and fundraising for her.

      Kamala promised to keep the genocide going and would probably be spineless in defending LGBT, and affluent libs who say they care about Palestine and go on to fund raise for her need to be called out.

      That said, what I see here is a current administration fomenting both an administrative and corporate repression of dissent, using a high profile attack to designate anyone LGBT or self identifying as being opposed to fascism as a terrorist - with all the loss of legal protections that entails. I mean this tweet is digging up someone calling themselves an antifascist 5 years ago and photographed with Pride flags to say, go after this person and these groups.

        Edit: I stand corrected. Trump was actually the best option and thanks God he won and hope you all enjoy the Trump Gaza Hotel view.

        Nobody here supports Trump you dishonest fucking worm, multiple users have even told you Trump’s policies towards Gaza are as awful as Kamala’s would have been. Criticism of one side does not imply support of the other, grow the fuck up

          Neither I said that Kamala would be a good option. Between the two, I sincerely believe that Kamala would be slightly better.

            Ok but 1: what do you think she would do better than trump and 2: why didnt she campaign on doing that?

            Because she campaigned on full 100% support for Israel, same as trump.

              Well she did say she would lower grocery prices. I remember because people on the right said that means she wanted to do price controls, which “never work”, and also hence she was a communist (with associated Ai art, too lol). There was a Citations Needed episode about it sort of recently, of how whenever a politician offers anything it means you’re trying to bribe the voters. I also remember thinking she should focus harder on it during the campaign.

              She also said she would defend abortion. After “defending democracy”, that was probably the thing she focused on most, and it was a good thing to bring up, especially after Roe, and unlike democracy, is a material thing she theoretically could probably change.

              The only problem is she couldn’t say too much how she would do anything, because either that’s communism, or the question is why isn’t Biden doing that now. Because she can’t really answer that question about why isn’t Biden doing that now without saying, “well I’d do it differently” which apparently wasn’t allowed.

              IMO all of that kind of pales compared to supporting a genocide and it’s worth not voting for them just to discourage them from doing that, but in good faith, there were minor domestic policy differences they brought up, even if in foreign policy they were identical. I am the Blorax and I speak for the libs.

        You think you’re doing electoral guilt tripping bullshit but in reality you’re doing pure bougie great man theory of history. Trump is an actual member of the bourgeoisie and demonstrates how capitalist governments really work hilariously openly because it’s not his career and doesn’t give a fuck about subtlety. Kamala and anyone else are career politicians and they would receive orders and demands by Trump, Elon, Thiel and their entire class behind the scenes while pretending to care in public. The difference is liberal science fiction.

        (Besides the genocide let’s check how effective the Biden admin was in legislating reproductive rights that include the right for abortion or if it did anything to cool down the GOP governors legislating trans people out of existence like De Santis. Fuck the dems.)

        hitler-detector How many American lives is one Palestinian equal to for you? Is Charlie Kirk’s life worth more than hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of Palestinians’ lives? If not, then why are you saying that the US funding idf-cool — who have stated again and again that their goal is a Final Solution — is not only inevitable but “the best option for Palestine”

        Would you have a different view if both parties in the US wanted to nuke Sao Paulo or wherever you live?

        She was the same option. Both parties were going to let isreal carry on with a genocide, funding it the entire time.

        Libe barely contained smug smile everytime they try to make this point just confirms exactly what we already knew. They don’t give a shit and wouldn’t have done anything different.

        Trump literally wasn’t as bad as Biden because by the time Trump was inaugurated isreal had already destroyed the majority of hospitals in Gaza. And kamala said there would be no sunlight between her and Biden.

        Trump has been the leader for less of the destruction of Gaza than Biden simply because isreal had already destroyed more than 50% of Gaza under his presidency.

        You know how, to trick a child into going along with what you want, you give them two options that both tacitly assume the thing that you want so they feel like they have a choice and go along with it? e.g. “On our way home, do you want to stop for ice cream or donuts?” (tacit assumption: we’re leaving now).

        As it turns out, you can do the same thing to adults.

        The correct thing to do if you give a shit about Palestine is not to give legitimacy to a genocidaire who will girlboss pinkwash the slaughter of innocents, it’s to organize outside of the choice the neoliberal establishment gave you, because there is more to the world than who gets elected President, and some of it is actually productive.

        The current Gaza genocide started under the Biden administration under which she was Vice President! She stated multiple times during her brief 2024 campaign that there would be no daylight between her administration and Biden’s.

        Amerikkka is uniparty when it comes to the Gaza genocide.

        Nope. Not a single democrat should ever be elected again until they bend the knee and remove their Zionist rot. Until they do so, voting for them encourages their genocidal behavior

          The net effect could potentially be worse. At least with the orange man in office a good chunk of the Dem base now vocally opposes US support of Israel when they were covering their eyes to ignore the genocide under Biden.

            Not to mention that Trump’s ego means there’s a certain amount of toestepping-avoidance Netanyahu has to do with Trump. Kamala would’ve put up with Netanyahu upstaging her.

        The genocide would have continued the same and everything Kamala said shows that. Thinking anything about the US approach to Israel would have been different is entirely delusional and we know this because it was happening under Biden
