Maybe she could disagree with him on genocide.
Lemmy's centrists don't like that suggestion very much, do they?
Fucking shill more. Jfc, how much do you want Trump elected? Talk about garbage...
Seems to me like she can't get elected with her position on Palestine. Maybe you are the Trump supporter.
No, she's electable, but there are an awful lot of fucking morons doing their best to get Trump elected by using shitty arguments like the genocide that he outwardly supports. Truly anyone that actually believes not voting or voting for someone else is the right choice is amongst the absolute dumbest people. No critical thinking abilities. Strawman arguments. Closeted love for fascists like Trump. Actual domestic terrorists spreading information trying to hurt America.
Scum of the earth, really.
I mean, look at your response bruh:
This is just word salad with no critical analysis. You want to accuse others of no critical thinking skills but this is all you have to offer. The facts is that Harris supports the same genocide Trump supports. And its losing her the election. She had the opportunity to take a different tact; she chose the wrong side of the issue that is proving to be the deciding issue in this election. So you can circle jerk that everyones an idiot but you, but the reality is, Kamala chose this path, and all of the data we have, and I do mean all of it, is suggesting that she make a big fucking mistake by not distancing her self from this.
So we had the opportunity to move Kamala on this issue over the last couple of months. I mean, we we're able to move Joe Biden to the back of the bus; moving Kamala should have been easy. But the reality is that she had enough sycophants with trump derangement syndrome willing to run cover for her that she didn't feel she needed to. And so she didn't feel the pressure to move her position on a deeply unpopular issue. And now she's fucking stuck with it and is probably going to lose because of it.
So at the end of the day, if you were providing cover for Kamala on this shitty position of hers, YOU are to blame if Trump takes the white house. Our only option was to force the candidate to take a better position on a deeply unpopular position. If you defended her in that position, you OWN this Trump presidency, in the identical manner that those who were INSISTING that we needed to stick with Biden would have owned that L as well.
No. Two options, Trump or Kamala. Trump had shared his desire to increase the genocide. That's wise than what's currently happening and what Harris has said. I'm disgusted by what's going on over there, but I also understand all of the other implications of this election. Making it about a single issue that neither candidate had publicly rebuked, and then being any voting in that is moronic.
You're rhetoric is consistently anti Harris. You are effectively campaigning for Trump. It's not word salad to reiterate that people that keep shilling for Trump and making strawman arguments are fucking idiots.
You do nothing but try your best to sway voters against Harris. Everyone sees it and calls you in your bullshit, but you double down. When everyone but the shittiest of people think that you're wrong, maybe you should look at the company your keeping. But, if you're cool supporting a rapist for president, keep up the good work.
You are the very reason Harris is struggling to win this election. A toxic, deranged, abusive, psychology. When she loses, we'll be pointing at you.
You might point at me, but the test of us will know is the bigots and racists rallying for a rapist, some under the guide of, "but the genocide" ignoring the obvious fact that Trump is worse.
I'm not trying to dissuade people from voting for Harris. What good did you jump through to come to the conclusion that I am why she's struggling? Lol. The backwards thinking in you is in-fucking-sane.
You: "Harris is bad and supports genocide. Literally the worst person ever"
Also you: "People that are out there supporting Harris despite her flaws are the reason she's struggling".
Do you read the words you regurgitate? Fuck what a dumb take...
I'm saying Harris supporting a genocide is costing her the election. She can/ could change policy any time.
Her apologists (you, and those in media) who are providing cover for her, have done major damage to her chances by refusing to be critical of her, and by being abusive to those who find the support of a genocide problematic.
You are 100% the problem. And my entire comment history will always be available to review. You being incapable of understanding what you are reading is a *you issue.
But what you wont be able to say, is that you weren't told what you were doing was a problem.
Lol ok. Keep up the good work, comrade.
Sorry, I'm not interested in aligning with those working towards a Trump victory.
