Has Hit Him, and It’s a Joy to Watch

He’s had yet another horrible week. The old tricks aren’t working. Kamala Harris does not fear him. And it’s showing in the numbers.

As a preface to this, I'm not the one downvoting you. I also think what's happening is abhorrent.

Since you're in a blue state, it's not nearly as big of a deal. However, for anyone reading this in battleground states, remember that the only alternative who actually has any shot of winning in FPTP electoral college is Trump who thinks Israel should "finish the job".

I'm pretty sure you know why you're being downvoted. If we want more real options we need to start working towards any system that isn't FPTP electoral college bullshit.

I’m being downvoted because of libtard blue no matter who neoliberal folks who only watch cable news.

Yes, I know exactly why, and it’s very sad that they can support genocide so flippantly

And if this hurts your feelings get over it I guess there’s a fucking genocide going on and you’re in support of it

What about "Trump who thinks Israel should “finish the job”." did you not hear? What makes the opposition, Trump, more worthy of your vote?

I’m open to Harris walz but I need something to happen to end this genocide before I can take them seriously.

But you take Trump seriously?

This is definitely a whatanoutism.

What about Trump. I’m not talking about Trump, I’m talking about the current vice president and president

Again, I ask you, what part of Biden is currently directly supporting genocide do you not understand?

I don’t give a fuck if it ends democracy or whatever boogeyman the dems are threatening this election cycle, much as they have done since I have been old enough to vote. Every time I have gone to vote, in fact. But this time it’s real?

I don’t give a fuck. I am not going to vote for a candidate who defends and directly supports a genocide.

There’s no lesser of two evils here. What the fuck is wrong with you. You either don’t know what a genocide is, or you don’t believe Palestinian lives hold any value in the world.

Which one is it?

This is pretty brain dead of you. It's not a boogeyman, it's just reality.

I understand being angry at the current admin. I don't like Kamala either. I don't like the genocide. I disavow the genocide and I wish Israel's apartheid regime was dissolved.

Now let's face facts. The Trump admin did a lot of damage. And honestly, the Biden admin has allowed for a lot of damage to continue. And maintaining that honesty, I think the Harris admin will not be much better.

But this is absolutely a choice between an evil and a lesser evil, and to disagree with that? Fucking stupid. You want to make a difference? Too bad. Your vote isn't going to solve the genocide. Your lack of a vote isn't going to solve the genocide. Nothing you can legally do is going to solve the genocide.

If you want to do something about it, then you should. But if your idea of "doing something about it" is not voting for the democratic ticket... it isn't productive. Maybe spend that energy differently.

I live in a red state so I'm voting third party anyway. But if the alt right is allowed to proceed with project 2025, let's see how long we have before we are dealing with our own genocide, huh?

Wake up call: literally every admin has supported the wanton murder of civilians. Literally every admin has blood on their hands. Literally every admin is a war criminal.

Advocating for not voting for the Harris admin won't do anything about it.

No. This is genocide. There is no room for debate on this issue.

If Harris does not come out unequivocally and with actual action against the genocide I can’t vote for her.

Period.

These are the facts. She has to earn my vote as well as the tens of thousands of uncommitted voters in swing states to win this election.

I don’t care if you or any other blue no matter who folks disagree.

I didn't debate whether or not genocide was happening.

It is genocide. There is no debate.

The genocide will get worse if Trump is elected. I am so glad that your conscious will be clear because you abstained from voting Blue. I am, again, also not voting Blue. Doesn't make your decision any less brain dead, and it doesn't make my point any less poignant. If you believe in harm reduction, then you should learn how to practice it.

lol, more genocide or genocide light.

The cognitive dissonance is real.

Don't think you understand what cognitive dissonance is. I understand the reality of the situation. Sounds like you're the one who doesn't.

So okay, Mr semantics, it’s fucking genocide.

Edit: also, you are holding two incompatible beliefs in your mind. And it is obviously causing you anguish.

Is genocide worse than genocide light?

You absolutely have cognitive dissonance here.

I say cease fire needs to happen or I will not vote for a candidate who supports genocide with word or action.

You are going to vote for genocide light? Is that like bud light?

I'm tired of arguing with a stupid person. It's genocide. You're not going to get a better candidate. I am dealing with reality. You are coping by opting out. Good luck. Hope Trump loses.
