It seems to have upset you. Are the other MAGA campaigners equally mad?
All of the US's generals should be in prison, not giving interviews. They're some of the worst people on Earth and their endorsement of Harris should make you extremely concerned.
Also, America was never great.
I actually think MAGAs such as yourself are also amongst the worst people on Earth. You love genocide so much you want Donald back in to "finish the job" in Gaza, bomb the fuck out of Yemen, aid Russia in demolishing Ukraine. Along with ensuring human rights erode even further in America. It is disgusting that you are on here every day campaigning for Donald.
"If you're not with us you're with the enemy!"
Harris is going to help Israel finish the job in Palestine. They're already expanding the extermination campaign into the West Bank right now, and she will just continue Biden's unlimited support for Israel.
And that's why she's being endorsed by generals. They love genocide.
EDIT also we're bombing Yemen
If you're not against the worst option you are for the worst option. You are a MAGA.
You want it to happen faster and more thoroughly, and you want genocides elsewhere. You want LGBT people scared and closeted for their safety. You want mass deportations in America. You are a disgusting individual, especially pretending to care about this issue to campaign on behalf of such an awful piece of shit.
I'm trans. They're going to fucking kill me.
I still won't vote for genocide. I'd rather die.
Nah, you just think you won't be subjected to it, like all the other people campaigning for Donald every day. Like all MAGAs, you love the genocide and human rights abuses happening to everyone you hate even if it harms groups that include you.
I'm in a red state! I half expect them try to take away my hormones no matter who wins the election, but it's definitely more likely if Trump wins (or, more likely, gets his fascist Court to steal the election)
Like all Blue MAGAs, you are happy to inflict genocide on Palestinians to save your own skin.
Classic lemmy.ml MAGA cosplaying as a leftist. Pretend all you want that "Blue MAGA" is a real thing, nobody takes that seriously. It's disgusting that you recognize your genocidal MAGA cult is despicable enough that you attempt to stick the label on everything else, yet you still campaign for Donald every day.
Blue MAGA is every cultist that is enabling genocide by voting for it.
If Harris knew she was going to lose for her unconditional support for Israel then she would change her positions.
It's your fault that she won't.
You'd rather kill everyone in Gaza than stand up against your cult leader.
Nah, the guys complicit in genocide are you MAGAs, filling a corrupt SCOTUS with theocrats.
You know there will be millions of dollars put into campaigns against her if she declares anything. You know the gerrymandered maps make losing any support disastrous. You know the only chance of ending it sooner is pressuring Dems.
But you love the genocide, so instead you undermine the only possible ceasefire. You want Donald in to finish the job. Every day you are on here agitating for that.
I just don't understand what you get out of campaigning for Donald every day. Cult member or some sort of theocracy enjoyer, I guess.
I truly don't understand your reasoning here. I'm not trying to be antagonistic, I just simply don't get it. Even if the parties were functionally equivalent, wouldn't a better treatment of folks domestically be a better option than changing nothing? It seems like functionally abstaining from voting is saying that some kind of protest vote is more important than the treatment of folks who are being demonized by the far right...or more important than people's access to abortion and proper medical care...or even shitty attempts at combating climate change.
You claim that voting for the Democrats is inflicting genocide on Palestinians to save one's own skin.
I'm going to say that not voting, or voting for a candidate that has absolutely no chance of winning, is inflicting genocide on Palestinians and folks domestically.
It absolutely pains my bleeding heart that the DNC is so deeply corrupt and shitty, and way too happy to bomb civilians abroad. Absolutely despicable.
The GOP is worse. The GOP is also worse on the domestic front.
Trump has literally said that Israel should "finish the job". https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-criticized-palestinian-insult-debate-with-biden-2024-06-28/
So yeah...it's morally compromising to vote for the DNC candidates for any number of reasons, but until the way we vote changes in the USA, it's the least worst option when it comes to voting. It also does not preclude us from trying to change the system outside of voting. It doesn't stop protesting, or mutual aid or other actions.
TLDR: It's just the trolley problem, and call me a maniac, but if I can press a button that saves even one life, even if it makes me feel slightly morally complicit in the deaths of others, then shit...I consider it the price of being human in the world we're shackled to.
Holy shit the lack of self reflection here is at epic levels of ridiculous.
I'm literally being told that, if I don't vote for Harris, I am voting for Trump. Even though I'm literally not voting for Trump.
What I'm saying is, if you vote for genocide, you are voting for genocide. Because the candidate you're voting for is part of the administration doing genocide, and they're promising to not stop the genocide.
Kinda different 🙄
I can read what you're being told. I can also read what you're saying. And I can also see how funny it is that someone who is creating the false dichotomy of the election being "voting for/against genocide" is hilariously and hypocritically chastising people for saying "you're either for us or against us."
Bad Commie! Bad!
Now go sit in the corner and think about what you can do to help create unity between the proletariat, not sow discord.
What about the proletariat being butchered and starved and tortured by the IDF?
I feel bad for them, and wish Netenyahu a speedy trip to the ICC. I would wish the same on former Presidents, but I don't want The US to bomb The Hague.
Who said it was? Do you know where you are?
They literally called me a MAGA disphit. 🙄
