Is anyone else utterly mystified by the Vote Blue Rhetoric this election?
Is anyone else utterly mystified by the Vote Blue Rhetoric this election?
I really do feel like I'm taking crazy pills with libs this election. The last two they at least had a bloodless rationale to the "lesser of two evils" rhetoric.
But this is genocide, the canonical Worst Thing You Can DO! I know many just believe that it's not a genocide at all because Palestinian civilians are all Hamas and just subhuman or that the videos published by official IOF channels are all deepfaked by the hungry ghost of Nasrallah. But then just FUCKING SAY IT and then we can call you a genocide denier and we'll know where we stand!
What I can't get is that many do seem to agree it's a genocide and Kamala is complicit. But then they lesser evil by going "Well if we don't vote then Trump will do bad things to trans people here."
Like Fuck You! You scheming, gaslighting bloody handed monster!
Either this is just a disingenuous argument to get your team in power or to maintain liberal civility politics, in which case double Fuck You that you think people are abstract political tools.
Or, you actually believe this, and the freedom of an LGBT person here outweighs the lives of 2 million people, many LGBT, who happen to have had the extreme misfortune to be born 5 cm over the border and thus outside your ability to feel empathy.
In which case Triple Fuck You, because you are, somehow, more of a fascist than Trump. At least Trump is too incoherent to make a complete argument for fascist policy!
I'm going mad, I really am. How can people be streamed genocide live on CNN and just say "well, I guess we're ok with genocide now!" Is the US public even human?! Even the fucking Germans had the good sense to pretend to look guilty after they lost.
You're viewing a single thread.
The gambit that liberals are trying to sell me on makes no sense. The presumption is that Trump would continue or exaggerate the genocide. Whereas a Harris administration would simply continue the genocide or maybe possibly have a possibility of maybe ending the genocide if we all ask really nicely.
Yeah except why am I going to trust an administration currently doing genocide to change their minds later? Voting for Harris is an endorsement of her current platform, which involves collaboration with Israel and no proposed alternatives. All of her talk about ceasefire is just talking, the Biden administration has done Jack and shit to actually accomplish this. The weapons shipments to Israel continue, the Biden admin celebrated Sinwar's death.
Libs are also saying we wouldn't be allowed to protest for Palestinian rights under a Trump presidency. Bruh where have they been for the past year? Have they missed all the cops dragging students out of colleges? Have they missed that associating with BDS is a crime in some states, like Texas where I live?
Absolute child brained people who only care about their own personal comfort
Word. All the "Trump will deploy the military against us citizens!" When Walz actually literally did that.
"Walz is such a nice midwestern dad!" When he's running to be second in command of the genocide machine.
Absolute child brained people who only care about their own personal comfort
I hope my vote is the one singular decrement that compromises Amerikan comfort at this point. I consider not a one who would pearl-clutch about their comfort compared to the genocide this empire perpetuates as someone I want as a countryman. These are my enemies, and I have too much to lose to indulge in adventurism-- so I'm going to jeopardize them any other way I can.
As for Trump, I can easily see Trump meeting Bibi with a plan that allows him everything he wants, Bibi rejecting it because he now wants the east bank of the Jordan river, and Trump being so insulted he has a tantrum and orders sanctions on Tel Aviv
