Hey, everyone who’s claiming Harris is going to be just as bad for Gaza as Trump will be: square this circle for me, would you?

They're voting Jill Stein because Daddy Putin says vote splitting is a communist conspiracy

[–] [email protected] 57 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Jill Stein sold her morals to the highest bidder like a good capitalist.

The people who claim that are campaigning for trump.

Some because they like him. Some because they are accelerationist motherfuckers that want to see the world burn. Some because they are useful idiots.

But they are all spreading lies in service of Trump.

Well actually several Dem congressmen vote for stuff we don't like therefore all Dems are as bad as Repubs and therefore they are worse than Repubs.

My sources are lemmy.ml and hexbear.

That would require them being capable of critical thinking, and anyone willing to vote third party clearly lacks in that department.

Last time I checked on those people they claimed Trump would be completely pro Palestinian and everyone who didn’t see this true true was stupid. Didn’t know they jumped right to jUsT As BaD.

They were never serious

The people employing bad arguments and/or who just turned 14 are not likely to be able to do that.

Yeah they’re probably still learning their basic geometry

Basically his ideas are automatically the good ideas, and since Harris isn't gonna do the exact same thing as him that means she'll be bad. Same logic in saying she'll be bad for Israel, the southern border, etc.

"Both sides"

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 week ago

One thing that I always appreciate about trump is his ineptitude. His actions, despite being a cancer on society, are sloppy half-measures at best. It’s something to be thankful for- his father imbuing complete confidence into his idiot, bigot son.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 week ago

You can vote for Harris and also be an anti-genocide advocate by demanding your representatives to BDS Israel, back anti-genocide bills put forth by progressive Democrats, and demand they support ending unconditional military aid to Israel. Every US voter can and should do both.

Trump will obviously be worse on all aspects of domestic and foreign policy.

Yeah, those goddamned refugees better not return to the land they had taken from them just now!

Edit: Ahh I realize I misinterpreted the title. W/e, Trump would be dumb enough to say something like that so I stand by what I said.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

Is this actually what he said or are they omitting a 10 minute rant about electrified hannibal lector sharks? Does anyone have a transcript?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

How the fuck is this asshole not in prison? He was convicted of dozens of felonies....

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

curious to see what the IP people will have to say about this one...

"In an event about combating antisemitism"

... I've heard about fighting fire with fire, so they took that literally and fight hatred with hatred?

"In order to not be antisemitic were going to be anti-islamic/Arabic! We can't just love people, that's hippie woke bullshit! Make America Hate ~~Still~~ Again!"
