As unlikely as it is cuz chump is historically shit. But possible that Harris loses. Should that happen. I hope you remember this post.

Because it woulda been real easy to turn this coinflip into a landslide. Let a genocide victim speak at the DNC and use the Lehey Law to embargo the Occupation. Cut off the bombs.

That's it. Democrats would have locked in both houses and the presidency for a generation or more. Instead of taking a victory lap right now you're here fingerwagging like the good little liberal you are.

Does AIPAC give you headpats or something? I know they're not paying you. I'm not a liberal. So I'm not dumb enough to believe that. But what do you get out of being a volunteer amateur propagandist for a genocidal bloodthirsty empire?

Don't answer that. I don't actually care. My start and finish line is genocide. If you support it in any way, I dont support you under any circumstances. Nothing else matters. Because that's the cliff of morality. If you're OK with it anywhere happening to anyone youd be ok with it here, happening to your neighbors. And that makes you less than human and not worth my time. (You owe me $5 for this reality check btw)

Why? Because a small group of people that never would've voted for Harris because of her association with "Genocide Joe" wound up not voting for Harris?

Does AIPAC give you headpats or something?

And there it is: An antisemitic conspiracy theory. You can't even have a conversation with someone on the issue without devolving to to the "Jewish puppet master" conspiracies within three replies. Yeah I'm sure a woman married to a Jew was going to be able get your vote somehow.

Antisemitism is my start and finish line. Obviously the conflict in Gaza is just something you're using to be able to give cover for your antisemitic beliefs. You don't care about Palestinians. You just hate Jews.

And that makes you less than human and not worth my time.

Dehumanizing me now too? Wow you're speed-running all the fascist boxes here aren't you?

Typical liberal.

Well. Enjoy the election. I'll be enjoying the tiktoks and shitposts no matter which liberal wins.

I very much enjoy democracy. There's just no place for someone with a soul in this one.
