I didn’t know Kamala Harris believes housing is a human right, is pro-union, anti-war, anti-racist, pro-lgbtq, pro-education, pro-kids (whatever that means) and wants to protect bodily autonomy! Wow, she sounds amazing!

Calling Kamala Harris anti-war is one of the most unhinged shit I’ve ever heard. This whole post is just so condescending, my god.

Eh, I’m not sure that a person worried about dying from an ectopic pregnancy because one candidate plans to make reproductive care illegal, or that the same candidate has an outlined plan to label lgbt people as legal pedophiles, makes someone labour aristocracy. Those feel like legitimate worries.

If anything it demonstrates the insidious nature of liberalism in convincing people their legitimate worries and grievances can only be solved with one alternative. Which is to vote for the blue side of the same coin.

Calling Kamala anti war is downright comical though. The way liberals delude themselves is doubly terrifying and hilarious.

Those feel like legitimate worries.

Legitimate worries, but still a drop in the bucket compared to the death and misery that US foreign policy is serving up. Of course, thousands of deaths from direct bombing and sanctions starvation doesn’t weigh up to bodily autonomy oppression when the latter are voters and the former are half a world away.

Meanwhile Jill Stein is anti-war, pro-Palestine and pro-bodily autonomy, but ask any liberal why they refuse to vote for her and it’s because they don’t want to ‘waste their vote’ because every other liberal isn’t voting for her.

You’re probably right, but it still makes my blood boil seeing these US liberals being happy getting concessions for their own personal “liberties” and “rights” even if the cost is to enable genocide. They have got to be the most evil people on earth, because how tf is genocide not a red line to stop you from supporting someone?

They’ll prattle on about “Trump has 69 felonies!!!” as an excuse to condemn him but they’re okay with GENOCIDE??

That’s the most infuriating part. All those things she listed are legitimate worries that millions of working class people have, but to use those same worries as some bizarre justification to sweep genocide under the rug instead of actually pushing for legitimate change is rage inducing.

It’s the horrible mentality that just because one candidate is a white nationalist, fascist piece of shit, then that must mean we have to rally behind the decrepit neoliberal scum.

That’s why point to the insidious Natureof liberalism rather then some individual failure. These people have been duped into thinking the only way to solve their real problems is to vote for the white washed and sanitized versions of the name neoliberal coin.

Legitimate worries, illegitimate behavior (backing genocide so long as she “gets hers”- not that she’ll get hers either way).

She deserves exactly what the system (ie. the source of all her worries) has to offer her, and so does every other lib. And I hope she gets the full brunt of it, genocide-supporter that she is.

Would you not say that it might be from an utter lack of political education that is purposefully withheld by a neoliberal system that is more at fault here then the individual person?

The working class can be lied to and exploited. That has been seen time and again throughout history across the globe. Their beliefs are commonly not their fault the majority of the time. That’s the entire point of outreach and education. If a person is made to believe that their life will come under threat, they will be increasingly willing to disregard others to secure their safety. That is basic human psychology that those neoliberal ghouls are exploiting. I cannot condemn an otherwise regular working class person and say “they deserve what the system offers her”, just because they have been tricked, exploited and lied to. It’s not like she’s the ceo of a defense company or a kkk member. The entire point of Marxism is to reach out and show that there is a better alternative.

That doesn’t make excusing genocide any less abhorrent and morally bankrupt though. Trying to cope like this is delusional.

You know who doesn’t have abortion access? Palestinians murdered by the IDF after they’re raped. I swear to God I’m turning into a third world Maoist and will leave the country to join a leftwing terrorist group in southeast Asia.

None of these liberals care about Palestine. They never have. Most of them were praising Biden into the heaven a month ago.
