I don't think they should do that but if they really believed he was Hitler 2.0 why wouldn't they? They have no problem killing people everyday.
I don't think we should lose faith in people, that's what all those in power want. The American people are constantly propagandized, most people can't trust what information is true or false especially when it comes to politics. I just think all the blaming of average progressive voters I've seen is misplaced.
There was no way for these sham elections to be a 'win' for anyone but fascists and corporations. I am just impressed so many people believe that leftists actually had enough sway to tank Kamala's campaign.
How do you know Kamala's winning would even be better for vulnerable people? Roe v Wade was nullified under the administration she was a key part of. On trans rights she said she would 'follow the law'. We would have the most 'lethal military' and a stronger border. They have sent billions in defiance of international law to support groups committing genocide.
And how many people voted for Kamala in her primary to earn the nomination? To protect democracy from Trump apparently we had to forego democracy.
This thinking is a small minority of thought among voters. Thank you for believing us leftists are such a powerful bloc though. I can't move to protect myself and many others can't, I'm glad you are privileged enough to escape. If the democrat establishment actually believed Trump was such a major threat to democracy and life why wouldn't they do more to stop it? They can use the national security state to kill whoever worldwide, couldn't they have said Trump was a threat to national security?
It represents a large portion, but progressive policies are widely popular. Even in states Trump won there were votes passed to protect abortion access and increase minimum wage.
Most people vote based on vibes, and there were no progressive or positive vibes put forward by the dems this campaign. They signaled a 'lethal military', tighter borders, and sought endorsements from prominent Republicans, trying to win votes that would never go to their party anyway, alienating anyone who might have believed in the genuineness of the dems as 'progressives'.
They are still evil though, why it always a choice of "evil vs evil"? We don't have to have this electoral system, we don't have to have these candidates, humanity can do so much better. The only way anyone against genocide or the corporatist status quo could show disagreement is by not voting. If democrats always have the lefts vote no matter what, then they wouldn't even have to be lesser evil.
Yeah fuck all extremists, "I want all people to have healthcare and housing" vs "I want to eradicate non-white people" are the same
The official death toll is around 43k but estimates range much higher, likely over 100,000. The entire healthcare system in Gaza has collapsed so they cannot identify and put an official tally on many of those killed.
She can say whatever she wants, she has been part of the administration funding this genocide, she could have used her position to be more firm about stopping the aggression from Israel but has been nothing but supportive, regardless of what sham talks of ceasefire they may have tried to claim. Is there any evidence that she will take action that would be meaningfully different than what Trump would do?
Join the IDF and see for yourself then. Why do you think there is a crisis of morale in the IDF? There was an interview from an IDF soldier talking how emotionally taxing it was for him to drive a bulldozer over dozens of people. Even Israeli news points out how horrific the average actions of the IDF are.
If a group of militants decided to have a meeting in the basement of a fully occupied apartment building in NYC, you believe it would be ethical for the US military to destroy the building and kill hundreds of people in their homes?
Supporting genocide seems like a pretty good redline to focus on though. When both candidates promise to maintain or increase the genocide, why does this sham of a democracy deserve to be supported? This electoral system and US imperialism doesn't have to be endless, partaking in the process only serves to legitimize the horrors commited daily.
What are you talking about? FFS can no one on this site just actually talk like a human? I'm not trying to 'own' you or something
