How would you feel if the US was sending weapons to a country that was killing your friends and family? What would you do?
narrator: and then, under harris, it continued to get worse.
biden admin is about to cause an regional outbreak of war. causing our friends and family to be pulled into it. all because he wouldn’t redirect a few boats to ukraine. I have 0 interest in trump but harris needs to pull her head out of her ass and commit to enforcing the leahy law w/ israel.
I feel like the lesser of two evils argument fails at the point of literal genocide and war crimes including intentional strikes on aid workers explicitly approved by the Biden regime. I’m sure Trump won’t be better, but it’s hard to see how he can be worse. They’re burning hospital patients alive in their beds. Asking a Muslim to support this genocidal DNC while they are being genocided is honestly the perfect encapsulation of the “it’s your fault you don’t want to vote for our shitty do nothing but evil party” logic that has destroyed the democratic brand and empowered a GOP in chaos, who would be losing to a more competently managed party right now.
Trump stated earlier this year that if re-elected, he would ask Israel to make the Gaza issue “go away” in under a week. It’s one thing to be supplying the weapons, but quite another to have the most powerful country give their approval to do whatever it takes to end the conflict to Israel’s benefit. There was a Palestinian newspaper article I saw a couple months ago that gave the opinion that under Harris they would get bombed, but under Trump they would cease to exist. Of course when I linked that in a similar discussion I was accused a picking my sources, because hey what does a Palestinian newspaper know about Palestine?
Trump says a lot of stuff. It’s usually awful. But he’s not much of a do-er, so I don’t think anyone can say exactly what he’d do different (the McGurk monster who is running all of this is a literal Trump first term holdover, so probably the same rabid dog would run the genocide either way). Biden is giving Israel explicit permission for all of this, including striking aid workers. Genocide Joe pretending he’s not fully supportive of this doesn’t un-burn-alive anyone. Words are wind. War crimes are war crimes. You can’t be the “lesser” evil perpetrating a genocide.
Some people can’t/refuse to comprehend that this was the Democrats race to lose. The same was true in 2016, and just like then, they will blame anyone but their own party. They’ll do anything but look in the mirror.
How the Hillary Clinton campaign deliberately “elevated” Donald Trump with its “pied piper” strategy
Yes, I love how with no other thing do these people understand that THEY, not Jill Stein or Bernie Sander or Russia are why they lose. A minimally functional DNC would be CLEANING Trump’s CLOCK right now, his coalition’s in chaos, his policy proposals are unpopular, the DNC has a lack of economy issue polling problem I haven’t seen in FOREVER, which speaks to people thinking “You’re the FDR party, and the party who stopped the Nazi genocide, can’t you save us now?” And the answer is MORE CHENEY!!! And MORE GENOCIDE!!!
You wanna know how he’ll be worse. You’re going to prison for this post. And you’ll ‘never have to vote again’ for any choice ever. He’s straight up fucking said it. This level of stupidity is un-fucking-fathomable.
They’re the target of racist assholes now and their families are being murdered now. What you hope for is that it gets worse so that they are punished for not being obedient.
The important thing here is that I don’t have to be civil to these people. We should shame them at every chance and equate them to literal MAGA. Only then will we win the election, which is what this is about and is not some distraction.
Average democratic party outreach strategies. This would be funny if it wasn’t covering for a literal genocide.
