Conveniently forgetting to mention that the words on the Kamala side should also be on the Trump side as well. Also, if you want to be accurate, it should be mentioned that Trump is actively encouraging Netanyahu to go even further, complaining that Israel isn't doing enough genocide for his tastes.
I also hate how this blames the candidate and not the voting populace. Kamala may not even win as it is, but would almost certainly loose if taking a strong stance on Gaza. Blame the American people and stop playing this whataboutism game.
All that aside, Kamala is the fastest way to ending the genocide. It may not be her current platform, but she's the best shot at getting the US to change its stance.
Yes... But don't conveniently forget that the racist stuff should go on the kamala side too. She's spent her entire life putting minorities in cages, bombing non-yts, and otherwise violently enforcing an extremely racist system.
This is mind bogglingly dumb. You should hear what trump et al are talking about re: Israel.
This both sides nonsense is childish at best and demonstrates an utter lack of understanding or perhaps willfull ignorance.
Or, given your absurd postinf history, a group of folks as part of a larger operation to sow distrust in democratic institutions etc. The dumber stuff I see from you the more I lean to the latter.
Minimizing genocide, albeit in the classical sense of the word which is to reduce the amount of. This should be an inarguably good thing so voting for the less genocide party doesn't seem complicated.
Now admittedly, if all the kids and keyboard warriors had been so staunchly opposed to US foreign policy, showing up to the Democratic primary would've been the move. Unfortunately, elder voters crush the youth despite being a smaller portion of the population so, unsurprisingly, American policy tends to reflect their views.
But hey, bitching on the internet is surely almost as good as voting in the primaries, right? Wait...
No, we realize that the genocide under Trump would be orders of magnitude worse and that voting for someone other than Harris will guarantee a trump victory. Voting for Harris is the only effective voting strategy that minimizes genocide.
The people who feel this way value their own ideological purity and feelings about who they vote for more than the lives of all those extra people killed with Trump at the helm.
I suppose this meme just highlights a lie of omission for not clarifying that they’re both pro-genocide—except the racist dude has publicly said there hasn’t been nearly enough genocide.
Republican Party: openly supports Israel and pushes for the genocide. Continues to fund Israel. States all of this stuff. Overt.
Democratic Party: covertly continues to fund Israel, but knows that they can’t publicly say that. So they frame it with bullshit platitudes like asking Netanyahu to “reduce civilian casualties”. They’ll use the term “ceasefire” but will never push a true ceasefire. Covert.
Obligatory notes:
No I’m not funded by Russia. I’m just some dude living in the US that has followed politics and police brutality stuff for ages.
No, I don’t support tankie shit; I follow socialist and Marxist philosophies, but authoritarianism can fuck all the way off.
Vote shaming is for people that can’t face reality. It’s anti-working class bullshit that the ruling class benefits from. It’s okay to criticize your party. They work for you.
I’m not magically endorsing Trump and the republicans because I stated some hard truths about the Democratic Party. If you think that’s the case, I implore you to put aside the kindergarten-level logic and get real.
Sounds like some liberal shit. The same folks that probably shame third party voters and are okay with third parties being blocked from getting a place on the ballot.
Which one of these options do you think would be worse for the Palestinian people? The one who very overtly wants them dead, or the one who covertly sells weapons to their murderers to feed the military industrial complex and keep deep-seated US alliances strong?
I’m gonna wager that the result is the same at the end of the day because the same amount of bombs fall. I see a trend. “Delayed”, “temporarily delayed”, “threatened to withhold”.
Everyone here missing the point that America never has been a democracy and your choice has always been an illusion. The rest of the world knows this from the USA invading every other country for freedom and democracy. Who wins doesn't matter. The poor, the global south, minorities, women, etc. will all get screwed over unless you literally fight back.
This seems like pretty strong evidence for always voting against the republican party, especially considering the later actions of Carter concerning this situation.
In essence what you've shown is proof that the Republican party is always worse for the world as a whole than the Democratic party. Good job!
Idk, it's not like the US can simply decide not to have a president, neither is there a third option. This is not a question of "do you like X or do you like Y?" but rather "would you rather choose X or Y?"
Given limited choice many things stop being dealbreakers.
You know Donald Trump said if he didn't win the election that the nation of Israel would cease to exist. So it seems to me that if you really want to help Gaza your choice is pretty damn clear.
