~~164~~ 200+ comments? Did the dumbass libs find this post or are we having a struggle sesh about Greta?

predictions for if it's libs

  • More than one person thinking they're "as far left as they come" and therefore assume we must be Trump supporters if we hate Harris. Will result in some comment like "your boy Drump"
  • The trolley problem from a person who has already had it explained to them how it's not a trolley problem if they're both equally shit, just because they keep saying Harris' isn't as shit
  • The trolley problem again.
  • The trolley problem again.
  • Following these last few days, no libs will engage with the people pointing out how Harris is as bad as trump
  • "Voting for third party is wasted"
  • Voter fraud (By not voting for Harris I am voting for Trump, by not voting for Trump I am voting for Harris, letting me vote two times)
  • "The genocide would be worse!"
  • One person admitting by accident they are fine with palestinians being genocided
  • Just immense amounts of long-ago debunked propaganda

predictions for strugglesesh

  • "Revisionism"
  • More PPB deployed than if it had been libs (no way to know, but you can feel it if it happens)
  • She's hiding her power levels vs. she's not hiding her powerlevels
  • Devolving into another barely related struggle session
  • A bad joke about scandinavia
  • People talking past each other, one side focusing on what good she does, the other focusing on it not being at all enough to change-da-world-1change-da-world-2

edit:
It was the libs.
A little primer for triggered libs:

"The genocide would be worse!"

Okay, I'll be the lib...

I haven't seen much follow up coverag, maybe this was a rumor. Apparently Trump has promised Adelson's widow a full on support for annexation of the west bank. That seems... Not good. But also not much different than current policy. Idk, anybody know anything about this?

The thing about genocide is that the end point is extermination. The number is the same.
Palestinians are being put in concentration camps right now. Kamala has promised to support more than Biden, she's just smart enough not to go out and say all the ghoulish shit.

I think the unpredictable and fickle nature of trump means him winning is the only chance of anything getting better in Gaza because of the election.

Venezuela would definitely have been couped under Hillary. Trump met Guaido, thought he was a cuck (I think that was it, it had something to do with his wife) and dropped the whole thing guaido-despair

If the farthest Israel is willing to go is x, both candidates will tell Bibi "why not x + 1?"
