I’m torn. Both Galadriel and Sauron say the other is a threat to Middle-earth. One has to be wrong, so whom am I to trust? Should I trust the Dark Lord who attempted to topple the White City of Gondor, dominate all life, and attempt to stay in power for eternity? Or do I trust the Elf Queen representing the coalition of Men and Elves who defeated Sauron when he tried to enslave the Free Peoples… but could maybe do more meet-and-greets?

Genocide propaganda. Why do you support, or at least not have a problem with, the extermination of the Palestinian people?

Hypothetically and only for the sake of argument, let's say Harris "supports genocide". We know Trump supports …let's call it "Genocide+". What does that leave? I believe most people think Harris will make getting a permanent ceasefire and supporting a two state solution central tenets of her administration. And Trump will do something insane that will threaten many more innocent lives across the entire region.

You can cast a vote for the imperfect candidate (which is every candidate ever), you can cast a vote for the candidate most likely to start World War III. Or you can cast a vote for ~~Grima Wormtongue~~, oops I mean Jill Stein, who is on the take from both the Russians and the GOP, and end up helping WWIII guy. Those are your options. It's not necessarily a fun choice, but it shouldn't be a hard one.

There's no fucking "hypothetical", collaborator. "Harris stands by Israel's right to defend itself". Even NBC, one of your state-controlled rags, is saying it. God, I despise gaslighting, gladhanding collaborator garbage like you.

"Vice President Kamala Harris offered a full-throated defense of Israel in her convention speech Thursday night, echoing the language of President Joe Biden that has drawn criticism from pro-Palestinian protesters."

You can't simultaneously offer 'full-throated defense' of a genocidal, illegitimate settler colony and then expect your 'calls for ceasefire' to be understood as anything other than plausible deniability and cover-running for genociders.

Wow, I never realized you could see outraged, frothing at the mouth spittle flying around via text before. Thanks for the educational moment.

The better parts of you clearly soaked into the mattress on the night of your conception. You physically disgust me, in every way, you smug fuck. What galls me is I went to the effort of finding evidence from a rag somebody like you would read, and all you've got is soulless redditorisms.

I eagerly await the fall of your society.

Do you need a hug? It sounds like you need a hug.

And jokes on you, I was conceived in the backseat of a car. Don't you feel foolish now?

Once again, Everyone That Disagrees With You Must Have Emotional Problems/Trauma And That Makes Them Wrong And Unworthy, a bedtime story for scratched liberals.

Die screaming, thanks. I don't even have anything pithy for this, I just pray for the absolute worst for you, and everybody like you.
