I'd like to think they're all just Russian trolls but increasingly, I think some people are just selfish or dumb.

I got into this argument the other day. People’s arrogance and lack of common sense was disappointing.
- I'm going to be 100% with yall that comment and post this shit.
  Before I go on, let me say I voted dem and know they would be better for the world over Trump.
  But is that's the standard and argument you expect people to vote for, you are in for a rude awakening... To anyone reading this or agreeing with these outright insulting comments and posts about how you know better need to take a long look in the mirror. Because...
  If the only support you are giving to the Palestinian and Arab people is voting Dem and having arguments about lesser evils, then you are not helping the situation.
  Yes vote dem. But get off your ass and protest, donate, and support those communities currently harmed be democrats disastrous Gaza and Middle East policy. That's how you sway hearts and minds. These fucking backhanded, self serving, ignorant posts and comments won't stop anything but prove to those communities that the democrats base does not give a shit about anything that doesn't directly effect themselves.
  Yall are missing the forest from the trees. Not voting for the light genicidal party nor the full genicidal party isn't some gotcha win for Trump. It's a failure on our part to demand our party doesn't continue using our votes to do harm.
  call your senators daily and demand they publicly denounce Israel and the IDF. Donate money to organizations that are saving lives destroyed by our bombs. March with your fellow Palestinian and Arab brothers and sisters. Divest and boycott any business with ties to Isreal and the IDF.
  But Ya im sure comparing individuals that have lost friends and family to bombs provided by the Democrat administration, to Lord Farquaad. We're better than this. This is just conservative tactics used on a population that we need to vote blue! We are better than this! show some empathy and get involved. I have Palestinian friends and they would spit in your face if you said this kind of shit to their face because it's removing the humanity of the 40k people killed by Isreal via bombs provided by Biden/Harris. If you/we don't care why should they?
  Edit: just realized how tone deaf this post is. Who's more like Lord Farquaad? Palestinian and Arab Americans who's friends and family are being displaced, starved, and bombed? Or literally the leadership that didn't even allow Palestinians to speak at a convention and is currently providing bombs and aid to Isreal?
  
  Thank you so much for this detailed response. I think I'm gonna vote for Kamala, not because I think Kamala is gonna do good things for the Middle East.
  I'm voting because either we get a president that may or may not listen to protesters, or we'll get one that will wipe out protesting nationwide.
- Yeah tell ne qbout it thinking not voting for either one somehow helps trump 😂 same people that failed basic arithmetic clearly. What they really msan to say is that people voting third party are not helping harris..and yeah thats the point and entirely not the same thing.
  
  49k votes for Stein in Pennsylvania, Trump won by 47k
  32k votes for Stein in Wisconsin, Trump won by 22k
  51k votes for Stein in Michigan, Trump won by 10k.
  Third party voters are useful idiots.
  
  Maybe you should convince the democrats to try and win some third party votes then. Can't blame people for voting according to their values.
  I'm sure you call multiple groups of americans idiots though. Thats definitely not the same thing the republicans do to minorities right?
  You're doing the good discrimination right?
  
  "Useful idiot" has a specific meaning.
  
  Yes you are very intellectual indeed.
  
  Yes, using a common term makes me an intellectual 🤡
  
  I like your clown outfit.
  
  If by "third party" you mean Jill Stein, well...
  Former KKK Leader David Duke Endorses Jill Stein
  
  😂 those in glass houses shouldnt throw stones. Funny that harris has one supporting her too.
  
  Is this a bot account or something? Every post has obvious typing mistakes and they all say utter bullshit. When shortly scrolling through their comments I didn't see a single upvote.
  Every comment is on the usa election. Account created 2 weeka ago.
  
  That’s good enough for me. Blocked.
  
  Stop blocking these people! It just amplifies their voices!
  
  I don't hear anything
  
  Tragedy of the commons. You're plugging your own ears but it's worse for the rest of us.
  
  and yes, everyone comment is on the election because thats all I particularly care about atm ;) please support rank choice in your state so this nonsense can stop. I'm tired of watching my country kill people for no good fucking reason. I'm tired of watching people shit on 3rd party voters for having a moral conscience that is clearly superior to the majority of liberals.
  I am sorry every argument against 3rd party voters is so easily torn apart by simple addition demonstrating that its harmless. if more people had a spine maybe harris wouldn't be supporting a genocide. but then again maybe she would. either way hard pass.
  
  beep boop.
  
  Did you even read this article? This is what Liz Cheney actually said:
  "Reactionaries make statements. Conscientious and thoughtful people take action because they know moral statements will never change the world."
  If you're interpreting that statement as indicating support for Apartheid, then you clearly have problems with reading comprehension.
  In any case, there's a big difference between Liz Cheney's bad opinion in 1987, and the guy who founded the "Knights of the Ku Klux Klan" in Louisiana. There's quite a gap in scale there.
  Your "stone" seems to be more of a bouncy ball.
  
  Dick Cheney is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. Incredible that liberals will defend the Cheneys, not sure if it's that you don't care about people's lives if they happened to be born in another country, or if you're just willing to defend anyone and anything if you think it'll help you win.
  How did Stein's response to David Duke's endorsement compare to Harris' response to Cheney's? Did she accept the endorsement?
  
  Its the part you said about lives in other countries not mattering.
  The propaganda there is strong.
  
  Dick Cheney sweet heart. Dick. But liz is also a shit human. Seems like harris is attracting alot of them with a warm embrace. 🤔
  
  But the article you linked is about an op-ed that Liz Cheney wrote while in college? I don't understand what point you're trying to make about Dick.
  
  indeed it is. that op-ed is just as bad. anyways.
  Dick Cheney voted against imposing economic sanctions on South Africa’s apartheid government and opposed a resolution calling for Nelson Mandela to be released from prison, saying Mandela was a “terrorist”—a position Cheney defended as recently as 2000, when he ran for vice president.
  there are a lot of things about dick we can reference here if you want. but that was the relevant bit. I was just pointing in a direction for you to get you started.
  
  Oh the irony here.
  If there are only two viable options, not helping one is the same as helping the other.
  
  Gotta love people trying to use maþ to defend someþing ð actual maþ clearly says is ð complete fucking opposite of helpful.
  
  😂 gotta love people who fail to contextualize math. Let me know you when you determine what helpful means to me, was that even the goal? Kind of an important detail dont you think?
  Someday you'll realize that your failure to understand motivation was exactly one of the points i was making. But alas i fear that day is far off.
