Why does Netanyahu want Trump to be president so badly if Harris has the same position towards Israel as he does?

Why take your voting advice from rumors of a fascist genocider?

"Hey you know how there is an unbelievably close race between a centrist who wants to maintain the status quo but may occssionally bend to public pressure and an outright madman who want burn democracy to the ground while lining his own pockets and rolling back social progress to the 1850s? You should totally protest vote for a party that doesn't have its shit together enough to even get on the ballot everywhere and has no chance at all of winning. That will show them how you really feel!"

I cannot imagine why main stream American politics doesn't take leftists seriously.

Grow up.

See, Leftists don't believe Harris is a "centrist" but a genocidal Imperialist, similar to Trump. Harris hasn't yet bent to public pressure either.

Liberals love Leftists until Leftists extend their criticism to Liberals.

Liberals become reactionary monsters when someone has consistent left politics and doesn't do whatever daddy genocide tells them.

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

Yep. Liberals use Leftists as a messaging aesthetic to toss aside when it comes time to get their hands dirty.

You're not going to be able to kick the Leftists off of Lemmy.ml.

See, this is the kind of thing you bring up during primaries not when the field has narrowed down such that the only other viable contender is worse.
