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

Soooo…. You’re just going to accuse Harris of being pRo gEnoCiDe and let that hang there like a bright flashing siren bulb of bat-shit blatant misinformation?
If by chance you ever think to ask yourself why people won’t take you seriously, reference the aforementioned bright flashing siren bulb of bat-shit blatant misinformation.
And in our precious discussion, you failed to outline how she intends to follow through with her bullshit promises, and I believe as I remember, I called you out for being a bad-faith propagandist.
Wait… was that someone else? There’s just so many of you.
Harris is party to genocide. She serves as vp to a president who repeated the lies of the people committing the genocide, took executive action to send weapons to them and has not made efforts to stop the violence that we have seen put forward from a president in a similar situation in the opposition party.
Harris has said that she intends to continue to support israel in their genocide. When asked directly what she would do to stop the loss of Palestinian life she pivoted to talking about groceries within this week.
Harris could break with the administration she serves under, so many people have left it in protest, she could signal her willingness to see to end the genocide by joining them.
She will not because she is pro genocide. There’s no other way to put it. None of that is misinformation.
She has the opportunity to influence it from within at a high position and takes no action, she has the capacity to use her position to speak out against it and she does not. She is running to take on the only position higher than the one she occupies and could campaign on ending it but she does not. She could promise to end it or make any commitment to use her powers as president to stop it but she does not.
If you have the ability to stop a genocide and people ask you to do so and you refuse, you’re pro genocide. Harris is pro genocide.
That’s not debatable. It’s the whole reason people are bending over backwards to try and paint trump as a greater evil because they can’t deny that Harris is evil because she is pro genicide.
With that cleared up, some ways de la Cruz could accomplish just one of her bullshit promises as president is by first and foremost not sending weapons to israel by executive order. She could also condition aid to israel on a ceasefire, and she could refuse to send aid ordered by congress due to its being illegal under international law backed up by the power of the justice department.
A president harris could also do those things, but would not because she is pro genocide.
Our previous discussion began with you calling me a bad faith actor and ended with you saying you were disgusted with yourself.
You don’t have to keep responding.
I’m going to guess that you probably didn’t know where Palestine even was a year ago. Yet here you are shilling for an election spoiler because it’s something that more than likely made you feel like you’re finally part of something for a change.
You think no one is aware that you people do this shit every four years? Dude… You’re like the cicadas of election interference. You’ll prop up whichever candidate promises the most because they stand the lowest chance to win and actually have to make do on their bullshit promises. But they sure do look good on paper! Right? And that’s all you need them to do. look good on paper.
Then… You’ll disappear like the rest of them the moment the election ends.
No one here is going to take this bullshit seriously. You have to know that.
You made a bunch of assumptions about me and tried to paint a picture of a person you’d like to argue against last time we spoke too.
If no one’s gonna take my position seriously then why do you care?
If you arent planning on paying attention to what the other person says and youre just gonna fall back on building a strawman to lob ad-hominem attacks against then why are you replying?
Not a single straw man built bud. You’re bad faith. It’s obvious. I’m just calling you out.
You’ve convinced no one here to vote for your spoiler. I’d bet money on it.
You literally just made up a story about who you want me to be and argued against that construction instead of responding to anything I wrote.
Surely you can’t expect people reading this to think im the one acting in bad faith here?
