On the left is racism AND genocide. But you knew that already, you're just happy to mislead.

And Trump's solution to the genocide is nuking Gaza.

If you're using Harris's stance on Palestine/Israel as a reason to not vote for her, you're an idiot.

in the right is racism and genocide, but in way that's palatable to libs, you’re just happy to mislead

The left candidate on the right and the right candidate on the left has me confused about what she these comments are on.

Trump wants to build the wall and do genocide because be is racist.

Harris wants to build the wall and do genocide because it is good for the economy.

They are clearly not the same.

Having a fringe lunatic as plausible opposition actually works really great in a two-party system, as the Democrats can really focus on policy for lobbyists and not so much on policy for the electorate. Just point out that the other guy would be worse.

It's even worse this time, Kamala is running to the right of Trump in 2016 regarding Immigrants, so you can see in real time Trump jump to go even further right, like the cats and dogs bit.

Which of these candidates do you think will be more willing to have their minds changed with protests and petitions?

Nothing is going to be easy or perfect, but we can at least choose the most likely candidate that is slightly more aligned with our desired outcome and then fight for what is needed.

Obviously neither, and anybody who claims otherwise is not engaging with reality.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 month ago

Neither, American support for genocide has an economic basis and both candidates serve Capital.

Best line I've heard yet on the issue

Need to add Jill Stein and Chase Oliver to the mix to fully embrace how weak all our candidates are.

My dad gave me a choice between a pair of skates or a 10 year old used car when I turned 18 but I refused both and told him I wanted a brand new car. I ended up with a pair of skates. Getting to work was hard the next 4 years.

/s

I'm 13 and this is deep.

So voting for genocide is as easy to shitlibs as it is to buy skates. Good to know.
