Thunberg added that “no matter” which one of them wins, America “will still be an imperialist, hyper-capitalist world power that will ultimately continue to lead the world further into a racist, unequal world with an ever increasingly escalating climate and environmental emergency”.

They're really no different from that perspective for us either. Unfortunately trump is a literal fascist and dnc knows it. Unfortunately fascism and abortion are driving this election.

Thankfully im in a state where i can say fuck you to both candidates and let my critters know they're next if they dont shape up.

harris repeatedly attempted to gaslight the American people over biden's mental health.
harris has continued to gaslight americans over the activities of israel and labelling them as self defense. Hamas has agreed to repeated cease fire agreements with the release of hostages. Only bibi is the problem and we continue to support him and passively label the continued escalation of violence as self defense while simultaneously violating our own laws on weapon sales.
harris has refused to back pro labor initiatives like committing to ms khan at the FTC, and has no pro labor initiatives on the her platform.
harris has willing silenced pro Palestine violences in general and on her campaign trail. While trying to say she's comfortable with them protesting and providing no path forward for their voices to be heard by the wider Democrat base through her campaign.
harris was the corporate choice of a running mate for biden instead of more progressive candidates such as warren. And it shows in her absolute trash set of policies.
harris has repeatedly lied about what the deaths of hamas leaders mean. Israel targetted the leaders most willing to commit to a ceasefire first. There will be no peace while netanyahu is running israel and America continues support.
Harris has repeatedly labelled herself as the law and order candidate while simultaneously committed to continuing to violate American laws.
Harris' support of lgbt+ is purely 'legal' her own words. She doesnt believe they should have be able to make their own medical decisions. I doubt she'll promote anything pro lgbt+ during her tenure she just wont regress it.

Shes absolutely disgusting as a candidate and if it wasn't for trump being orders of magnitude worse, and the intentional lack of a primary she'd be no where near winning the white house. And i suspect we'll see another election cycle without a primary as a result of her being the incumbent.

Its absolutely horrifying. 🦅😮‍💨

well said. i will add that harris got a total of 187 votes in the primaries and was still selected over warren with 3 million because she is a pro-corpo & pro-israeli hack. she has always been a two faced flip-flopper but still failed upward in politics. dnc has become so toxic that they are trivialising genocide and running a disgraceful smear campaign on stein.

There will be no peace while netanyahu is running israel and America continues support.

given the state of things its clear that parasite netanhayu is running both israel and america via aipac. its only becoming worse every year, they tank any progressive campaign with massive funding & propaganda and play both sides.
