How many dead Palestinian kids will it take for you to change your vote?

They've explicitly told us it's perfectly fine to sacrifice entire demographic groups for the sake of poltical expediency

What the libs have done is create an avenue of least resistance, where the party elites correctly understand they're free to condemn whole demographics to death to purchase the poltical loyalty of others

This is quite literally the death of solidarity and labor organizing in the United States and there's no coming back from that

Today it's Palestinians and immigrants, tomorrow it's native americans and trans people and on and on until they reach the one demographic they've always wanted to dump and destroy; the black working class

This is how fascism in America truly comes about, and so many have already failed what even five years ago would've been called the easiest test imaginable

The dems normalized genocide, it's Joever folks, this is what unplugging the life support of a left tradition looks like

It’s also truly incredible how no one can also see the mass extinguishing of the proletariat happening as more and more wealth is stolen by the bourgeois as they go all in on AI in hopes that enough people will be numbed by the unregulated spread of information and be kept in their digital bubble while the world burns, people die, and more people end up without a job.

But 2029 is the most important election of our lives!

If you tolerate this your children will be next by the manic street preachers.

If they'll do it to Palestinians they'll do it to anyone who gets in the way. And it's blood in blood out. The Libs have given their consent to any act of savagery, any crimen any abomination. They can't retract that now. They can't say "this is too far, this is too much." They signed on the line in blood. They gave their entire soul over to evil.

My sister who's literal job is human rights law just told me I am selfish because as a dude my rights are not harmed in the US by Trump so I am "allowed" to favor the rights of Palestinians. Absolute ghoul. I think it really bothers her that we tacitly agree on most everything, but I am willing to stand by my values.

It's frightening how immediately hostile people become when they encounter someone who actually has principles and beliefs. The sudden aggression and attempts at coercion are always shocking.

Ask her why biden-troll , in power right now, with expanded executive powers thanks to the Supreme Court, hasn't done a damn thing to help on this issue? It's so fucking dumb these people pretend they are powerless when they get elected. And so many people keep falling for it football-lucy

unless she's incompetent at her job she knows the US is blatantly breaking its own laws to arm Israel

They don't care because 'trump will kill more' is the logic. They have done a mental trick where they convince themselves they aren't voting 'for genocide', they're voting 'against Tcump'. They refuse to accept that they are just doing the good old 'ends justify the means' calculus, and instead claim 'harm reduction'

As Malcom X said: 'The White liberal is the worst enemy to America'

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 74 points 1 month ago (15 children)

Like how is Trump going to genocide worse? They acknowledge Harris is doing genocide, and then say Trump will be worse, and it's like... EVERYONE IS GONNA BE FUCKING DEAD YOU CAN'T DO WORSE THAN EVERYONE IS DEAD.

I probably need to log off I'm going to need to log off for the night.

Literally heard them say "Trump will let them use nukes"

And it's like

You know why they usually genocide people?

To take their stuff!

They're not going to nuke them, they want the land!

'trump will kill more' is the logic

We don't actually know what will happen with Trump. He is a petty, dumb, narcissist who acts like a weather vane for his advisors. He could decide to drop a nuke on the region, or he could get triggered by something on Twitter and decide to stop all arms to get back at Netanyahu.

We know what the Democrats will do. They're doing it now. Acting so sad while pouring truckloads of money into the kid crushing machine.

This isn't an endorsement of Trump, lurkers. Vote 3rd party or leave President blank. Neither major candidate earned your vote.

First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a communist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

First time a tragedy, second time a farce. My mom has been sending me these pre-written harangues to vote for Bomb-ala and this is all I can think of. The Democrats have already thrown Palestine under the bus. They have already thrown the people, families, and children at the southern border under the bus. Do you honestly think they are going to care about queers when it's no longer expedient? Seriously?

Comrade, if you're going to use this poem, please do not omit the original first line.

"First they came for the Communists, And I did not speak out Because I was not a Communist."

We both know the answer in most cases is "None, they can all die"

Congratulations on succesfully creating a lemmitor honeypot, Mr. Mayor rat-salute-2
This feat has become increasingly difficult as the libs have sealed themselves off in their echo-chambers.
Good heavens, would you look at the time? what-time-is-it

B-b-banger thread

It's lib scratching time

[–] stigsbandit34z@hexbear.net 64 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

I would love to be able to send out a Kamala jab to people in my life and have them laugh along instead of distancing themselves from me lololol

Why do people take this shit so seriously deeper-sadness

Leftists have as much credibility where if you don’t like Kamala where I live, you’re basically certified MAGA
