I don't remember hearing any Dems talking about turning Gaza into a beach resort after they purge the locals.

☐ Genocide and things stay pretty much the same

☐ Extra genocide and things get worse

☐ Waste vote (get extra genocide anyway)

"Democracy"

Its almost like money and first past the post elections only serve to narrow down political options.

Why re-elect genocide when you can elect double genocide with a side of imperialism..

If a protest could work under trump why wouldn't it work under Harris?

Whoa, either they're incredibly unaware of the recent news in Gaza or this is quite mask off about their side and goals. "the moral stain of reelecting genocide"? Give me a fucking break, the conflict was self-resolving right before Trump's inauguration. Now he's fanning the flames.

People should be free to vote for who best represents them while still counting their vote if their preference didn't win.

Passing state level electoral reform will not only empower the creation of stronger 3rd parties, but also force the legacy political parties to have to compete and actually represent people.

No more safe seats, no more hostage situation, no more voting while holding our noses, only democracy. More democracy was always going to be the solution to this problem. Who could possibly be against more democracy?

Fuck Jill Stein and every additional piece of shit who promotes her.

Watch this hour long interview Mehdi Hasan did with her. She's fucking horrible and I'm glad the finest interviewer of our time got an hour to push her on her bullshit.

The Green party is fucking worthless.

[–] Krauerking@lemy.lol 15 points 6 days ago

Especially with Jill "any attention is good attention, have you heard my album?" Stein at the lead. She doesn't want a political platform she just wants a taller soapbox to shout from and act smug from.

I'd take that as a confession to being complicit whenever we get to the US equivalent of the Nuremberg trials.

[–] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 15 points 6 days ago

Well, Nuremberg was the heart of Nazi rule, so I guess the US version will be at Mar-a-Lago.

[–] leadore@lemmy.world 35 points 6 days ago

Russian stooge says what?

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 17 points 6 days ago

Lol is this real? I've never seen a real person make that argument.

I assume they are just not-so-secretly endorsing Trump. Like, nobody is that dumb.

[–] Rooty@lemmy.world 12 points 5 days ago

A row of clown emojis is the only appropriate response.

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 12 points 5 days ago

Now that's some medical-grade copium.

[–] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 6 points 5 days ago

Fuck them. Hiding behind such a horrible thing to support trump.

[–] turbulentMagma@lemm.ee 27 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Literally only the mental cases speak this way. By mental cases I mean the people that want destruction of a country for their own greedy reasons instead of building the country to what it once was.
