Funny enough, that's the message of the original scene too. "I don't think about you at all" is a blatant lie, lmao.

Genocide apologia is 'nothing wrong' to you, I see. Unsurprising.

Separately, a larger asteroid, 2020 XR, measuring 1,200 feet in diameter, will safely pass Earth on Wednesday at a distance of 1.37 million miles.

If we pray to it, do you think it'll deign to hit us?

Secondly: Cool, then what the fuck is this? You could have just deleted this off your comment and yet you included it anyway. Shut the fuck up.

For clarifying that the reason I was bitching about leftists who fuck us over wasn't because they were a major component, but because of the fact that they're supposed to be ON our side?

Jesus Christ.

God, reading comprehension has really gone downhill in the schools.

What? No. How did you read those words and come to that conclusion?

Your assigning the intent on what they preferred. Maybe some of them chose to stay home in protest.

If them staying at home in protest isn't meant as some kind of justification, then what is its relevance? The answer would be that it has fucking none. So are you backtracking, throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks, or deliberately making shite arguments to gum up the conversation?

You want to say, “well, they should have been motivated to vote for Harris to defeat fascism,” when that wasn’t what even Harris’s pitch to voters.

Ah, so we're back to "Harris didn't say fascism, therefore, it can't possibly be the fault of voters who stayed home!" What an utterly servile position on civic participation. Nothing exists except what the elite put forward, huh?

Here I thought self-proclaimed leftists might recognize fascism when it clearly and loudly presents itself, but apparently you think that progressives have the approximate political understanding of a toddler.

No matter how many times you try to put this on the voters, it was Harris job to get voters out. She picked moderates over progressives, and that’s on her, not the progressives that didn’t come out.

Again, you just clearly state the argument I've been REPEATEDLY assigning to you. Your argument is that Harris not being sufficiently appealing to progressives was justification for them supposedly sitting out the election and handing the victory over to fascists. My response is that that in no way absolves them of their duty to oppose fascism, and any so-called progressive who refuses to oppose fascism because the milquetoast Dem doesn't appeal to them enough is a fucking fascist enabler.

But hey, play apologist for enabling fascists all night long if you like. Clearly I can't stop you.

No, it's mocking the idea that voters aren't responsible for their own choices, and that the Dems running a dogshit campaign means that voting for fascism or sitting it out and letting fascism take the reins of the country is somehow okay.

The Dems ran a shite campaign. The Dems are absolutely guilty in this shitshow of fascism we find ourselves in. But the people who deny all moral agency to the voters who sat by and said "Yeah, voting against fascism just isn't that exciting" is absurd. They're fucking guilty too.

How many “leftists” do you think exist in the US?

Yes, but they weren’t the majority who fucked us.

Holy shit, I explicitly say that leftists weren't the core cause and I still get accused of saying as much. Fucking insane.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

No, I think they still would. I really, legitimately think that they're the secular equivalent of the Rapture lunatics I grew up with in an evangelical upbringing. They view the current state of affairs as a sinful world which must be destroyed by any means.

I voted third party. Even so, trump has yet to genocide anyone. Harris can’t say the same.

It never takes long.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 hour ago

No I didn’t. Do you have me confused with someone else?

I've already quoted you on two things you've denied, we're really gonna make it three for three?

I can’t exactly laugh at people who are desperate in wanting to end a genocide, but you and the rest of the liberals seemed gleeful at them having their relatives killed because they wrong-voted.

Oh, we were 'gleeful at them having their relatives killed' because we thought Muslim-Americans voting for Trump on the issue of GAZA was an incredibly stupid decision, and weren't willing to asspat them for it like you were? Funny how you're always eager to asspat everything that furthers genocide, but never anything that actually restricts it.

Funny thing is, I remember that thread - we were both participants, after all - and in that thread, sympathy for the actual victims of the genocide was clearly, repeatedly, and explicitly stated. But that doesn't fit your narrative of "SHITLIBS BAD", so you find a more pleasing imagining of the situation, huh?

How about some self-reflection on how democrats are so shit that people would actually try their luck with republicans of all people?

Of course, no self-reflection for you about how constantly beating the "GENOCIDE JOE GENOCIDE JOE HE IS PERSONALLY RESPONSIBLE, IT'S ALL BECAUSE OF HIM" drum without context could possibly affect low-information voters. But sure, talk more about how it's totally understandable to vote for Trump over the issue of Gaza, maybe next time, you can convince twice as many folk to vote in favor of genocide by telling them how wholesome and valid voting for genocide is.

Keep killing minorities. It seems to be the only thing you're passionate about.

Never have I spoken positively about trump, he’s an absolutely irredeemable piece of shit, but here you are imagining all these things about me because you’re so stuck in the two-party mode of thinking.

Considering you've already played apologist for Trump voters multiple times? It's not much of a leap. #remindme4years or whatever it is.

When do democrats take responsibility for the billions they’ve sent in support of genocide? When do democrats take responsibility for the shit campaign they’ve run?

When the ever-loving fuck did I say they weren't responsible?

Jesus fucking Christ, this stupid position of "You can't blame voters! It's the DEMOCRATS' FAULT!", other than being an utterly servile and bootlicking view of governance and citizenship that strips voters of moral agency, ignores the possibility of there being more than one guilty party in a fucking disaster. It's positively childlike.

Voters would happily vote for the non-genocide option, but apparently that’s not allowed. Politicians are responsible for appealing to voters, they’re not owed votes.

Voters are responsible for making the best decision possible for the polity; we are not absolved of the choice of inaction just because we throw a temper tantrum and insist that if Israel is going to slaughter Palestinians, American minorities should get slaughtered too, and Ukrainians as well - and that Israel should get more money for their genocide of Palestinains. But you don't give a fuck about any of that.

I don't think they're struggling to understand it. They become quite excellent at understanding it once it turns to anything they support. China, Russia, Hamas, the Houthis, all the lesser evil. But for 'some reason' any time non-authoritarian regimes are involved, they become determined to ensure that the world knows that they're willing to kill every last minority for their 'principles'.
