You're viewing part of a thread.
Did you have a seizure or something?
No, why do you ask?
They asked because they have no rational response to your completely valid points.
Because your comment is so disconnected from reality that it's the only thing that makes sense to me. Genuinely concerned for you.
The absolute liberal irony in this is fucking hilarious.
You people are just genuinely lost in hyperreality, aren’t you?
p.s. try sneering harder, you’re totally winning over the working class.
"If I act like a smug asshole, people will want to vote who I like!"
It doesn't work for Musk, it won't work for weirdos online who think bad polices are okay when it's blue.
In what way is anything I said disconnected from reality? What are you confused about?
I think you replied to the wrong comment. The quote you're including and answering does not exist here.
The quote is from the image, which the person who responded to me is defending.
... except that they didn't?
You introduced the Israel-Hamas war into this topic. The other poster said "none of the candidates will change that". You assumed that he defended the quote that you posted.
At no point did the other poster state which candidate they vote for, only that they didn't make their choice of American President based on the Israel-Hamas war.
I responded to OP, and then they responded to me. I assumed that what they said was related to comment and not just a complete non sequitor.
We can play this game of pretenses but it still doesn't work for you and I see little reason to.
The fact that you're asking just leaves me more concerned for you.
When we ask the question, "Was Taft a good president?" we look at the things Taft did in office, we don't look at who he ran against or whether there was another candidate who would've done things differently. If Taft supported a genocide, then it would be pretty hard to defend him as a good president, unless you just don't care about the victims. Whether the person he ran against would've done the same is largely irrelevant to his legacy.
Now replace the word "Taft" with "Harris." In evaluating whether Harris would be a "great" president, "objectively," that doesn't mean that she's the best of awful choices, it means that she is actually good, irrespective of any other choices.
You are pretending that you recognize how bad it is to be pro-genocide, but that you'll reluctantly look past it and support a pro-genocide candidate, because, wouldn't you know it, your hands are tied, that's just how elections work, wish we could have someone else but that's just the way it is. That stance is bullshit. It's just something you say to try to appeal to people who care about Palestine. The reality is what OP so plainly expressed, that you think Harris would be a great president and her support for genocide doesn't really bother you.
What did I say that is in any way unclear?
You responded to the previous poster quoting something they never said and your answer doesn't follow the conversation. JFC read your own comment chain before being an ass.
Read the OP, silly.
I really think you should, fam.
All you ever talk about is how genocidal Harris is, when I don't think she is actually pro genocide, and I know Trump and other republicans really are. Your negatives about republicans are few and far between, but you talk at great lengths of the evils of the democrats, and then you get cross with people who point out that you're echoing right wing talking points.
The genocide thing is standard Republican projection - Trump literally supports the genocide in Gaza, calls himself the best king of Israel ever, then calls Biden "genocide Joe". Every accusation an admission.
The genocide thing is standard Republican projection
You're gross. I don't care if they censor this. It's true.
Which "they" did you think would censor your weird insult?
when I don’t think she is actually pro genocide
Then you're not paying attention. She has not distanced herself at all from Biden's position of unconditionally arming Israel and reaffirms her support for Israel every time she talks about the issue.
The genocide thing is standard Republican projection
I'm not a Republican, so it's not "Republican projection." Republicans are also genocidal and you shouldn't vote for them, obviously.
Trump
Again, we're not talking about Trump here. We're talking about whether Harris would be an "objectively great" president. I think her legacy will be greatly tarnished by her support for genocide. You can't say that she'd be "great" while simultaneously trying to paint her as a "lesser evil."
It wasn't me who said she'd be great, actually, but as usual, you spend more time trashing Democrats than Republicans, and yet try to persuade me that you're left wing. Doesn't quite add up from where I'm sat.
It wasn’t me who said she’d be great
Oh, I guess this conversation is settled then, we're in agreement on the point of her not being great. Not entirely sure why you replied to me in the first place tbh.
