Israeli officials have signaled they do not intend to relinquish this territory. These areas, where the military has deployed, are considered “no-go zones” and Palestinians risk being shot if they approach.

      This is closer to just standard imperialism, which Hitler also did. Evil? Yes, but a different kind of evil.

      Also I think Israel literally has a concentration camp, so if you want to make that comparison, it’s right there.

      Imperialism is horribly evil and it deserves to be called out by name. A part of the imperialist process is genocide, which is what we’re seeing here.

      I’m happy she lost, but I’m also sad that Trump won. Why should our choice be between to pro-genocide candidates?

      Maybe the next time the Dems should try something new and run a candidate that campaigns on what the voters want.

        One of those two was going to win. That’s how this shit works, so instead of voting for genocide, you voted for genocide and for your list of rights to get shorter on a monthly basis. The worst part was that you saw all the signs and you still did it and are willing to brag that you’re partially responsible for not making the obviously better call.

        We can do third party’s over 1/3 of the government when we have third partys everywhere else and it’s actually attainable, until then, you’re doing this.

          You can’t have genocide without your list of rights getting shorter on a monthly basis that’s not how that works. It was always a question of when America’s tab would come back to haunt it, not if. You want to keep your rights? Then better oppose genocide even when it’s your guy doing it.

          Yeah, that is how it works. I don’t fight against genocide because I think I’m going to win, I fight against genocide because I think it’s evil. You may be OK with genocide, but I’m not.

          Additionally, genocide is just 1 out of ~50 other things that I’m against, that Harris stood for. Why should I vote for a candidate that’s proud to stand with the Cheneys? Or a candidate that wants to continue to be a “leathal fighting force”? Why should I vote for a candidate that thought bombing children was OK? Or a candidate that proudly stood behind a rapist?

          Yes, I proudly stand against genocide, and all of those other things. Maybe the real issue is that the Democrats shouldn’t run in favor of them.

            No one here is rooting for genocide, I’m stating the obvious that you should make the best of a shitty situation rather than not. A great example of this is voting someone who stood behind a rapist instead of voting for someone that would lead to an actual rapist being the winner of the race. It’s not good, but it’s better.

            By all means, try to vote both of these motherfuckers out when possible in primaries and midterms and special elections, but when it comes down to actual election day, and you only have two available options, you pick the best of the two instead of throwing your vote away, that is if you want to actually mitigate this shit storm as best you can instead of letting idealogical purity fuck you over even more.

              Literally the Democratic leadership is. They’re even doing more: they are funding it.

              It’s not good, but it’s better.

              I agree it’s better, but it’s still not good enough for me to vote for. I understand why people held their nose and voted for Harris, but I was unwilling to do the same. We have different standards. I’ve seen the Democrats continuously fight against the policies that I want, and so I chose ‘nah’ over them. So did a lot of other people, so maybe they should incorporate that into their strategy next time.

              if you want to actually mitigate this shit storm as best you can instead of letting idealogical purity fuck you over even more.

              I find this hilarious coming in support of a party who chose the ideological purity of genocide and money, instead of chosing a popular stance and winning the election.

          We wouldn’t be fighting with Canada, Greenland, Mexico, Europe, etc.

          Immigrants wouldn’t be sent to a torture prison for simply disagreeing with Israel.

          US universities wouldn’t be under attack for “dei” and “antisemitism”

          Judges wouldn’t have been arrested for not allowing ice arrests in court chambers.

          Tariffs wouldn’t be destroying the economy.

          Doge wouldn’t be unconditionally gutting the federal government.

            Hmm, all that stuff on the line, and the DNC decided that it was more important to protect Israel and idolize Dick Cheney than to defeat Donald Trump.

            Don’t worry though, the Democrats are working hard to ensure that Trump’s policies face little to no opposition and they even unanimously voted recently to enact an internet censorship bill that Trump stated he would use to silence his online critics, so at least we can find comfort in knowing that they’re finding so much common ground with Republicans.

            Harris decided she’d rather help Trump get reelected than break with Biden on Israel. It’s her fault that she lost an extremely winnable election. She is the one that got Trump elected, more than any voter.

              Same with Clinton in 2016. The Dems want Trump in office so he can enact all the legislation that they want passed while he takes the heat and use him for fundraising opportunities. It’s all a big game to them, which is why they act like little more than controlled opposition. These policies don’t affect them they just affect us nobodies.

              Yeah, you all only give a shit about exactly one thing. We know. Let everything else burn because you have a one track mind.

              Frankly we didn’t get the chance to know what limits Kamala would have had. But we do know that behind the scenes Biden was trying, albeit unsuccessfully, to moderate Israel. Kamala would likely have at least applied some pressure as well.

              Trump wants to turn Gaza into a trump hotel.

              You at least had some fucking hope with Kamala.

                Actually, we know that Biden wasn’t trying. They just came out and admitted that. And we didn’t have any hope with Kamala, because she was clearly explicit that she was going to continue to support Israel.

The other person made a concrete claim and I was challenging that concrete claim; neither of us said anything about the merits or demerits of voting for Harris so there’s no reason for you to soapbox about the damn lefties drawing the line at genocide.
