When you people realize it's not about race or sex, you might have a chance at winning an election. Hell you might even start having left wing views at some point if you can get over your pathetic obsession here.
All the histrionic shrieking we see from US liberals about Trump only works inside a western supremacist worldview that does not see the victims of US warmongering as fully human, and therefore sees scorched earth genocidal atrocities as less significant than comparatively minor abuses concerning US domestic policy.
While I don't disagree that genocides across the world is something I'm more concerned with than bathroom policies; I am as a transperson still quite concerned with that as well. it's not like both can't be important.
I also don't see any american politics or establishment that would ever aknowledge US warcrimes, genocide supportion or anything similar - wouldn't any american politician saying america kinda sucks just really lose an election?
not that we shouldn't abolish the state, MIC and all that shit anyways
Good point, comrade. And internal and external brutalization goes hand in hand. But the US empire is sunsetting, approaching midnight. The race to create alternatives beyond what was yesterday starts today ♥️
It's not just bloody bathroom policies though. It's a wide-ranging ban on trans people being able to exist in public. It's a criminalisation of their existence ("all trans women are drag performers, drag performers aren't allowed around minors"). It's a ban on life-saving medical care (HRT). It's a president that allowed one million people to die unnecessary deaths due to deliberate inaction, and spreading of disinformation. With disabled people vastly overrepresented in that group, who if you'll remember were the first people targeted and exterminated by the Nazis.
Just because they aren't dropping bombs to do these things doesn't make it any less of a genocide. Besides, that would hurt "the good ones" bc the US isn't segregated the way Palestine is.
What? I’m saying Harris should have opposed the genocide. Also, I would hope that a ‘leftist’ space like liberty hub would be the one place on lemmy where I can say that Harris is a fucking fascist for supporting a genocide that is literally killing my friends
Solution. Let's kill more people. Like. I don't want to blame you. I won't. At the end of the day, it really is harris fault. It's 100% to blame on the Dems for courting the right and just assuming the left will follow for harm reduction. But couldn't we have just swallowed our pride and not let trump, the man who will not only genocide the palastinians but will bring that genocide home. It's not your fault. It's the dems. I'm sorry for us all.
Sure. You can say that. Unfortunately, this community's rules prohibit Me from applying the same logic to people who support Trump's campaign by running hit pieces on his opponent. So all I can tell you is, fascists aren't welcome here. I leave the application of logical principles to these statements to you.
Yeah I’m truly disgusting for not wanting the US to keep sending bombs that are being used to kill my friends. Harris is disgusting for not promising to do something about a real fucking genocide committed by a US proxy.
Trump just won whilst showing unabashed support for genocide and your main complaint is still Harris. There were only two options, if you care for Palestinians you vote for the best option for them or you simply allow the worst to win.
Do you think Palestinians will be thankful people didn't vote for Kamala? Whilst Israel rains more bombs with a renewed vigor thanks to an America that now shows completely uninhibited support?
My main complaint isn’t Harris, but I reject the notion that Harris was a ‘good’ candidate. If anyone were to suggest any such thing about Trump my response would be the same if not harsher.
I don’t give a shit about voting because I don’t live in the US. The election is over. Criticising Harris wasn’t allowed in most communities because of the elections (but racist remarks towards muslim commenters were allowed for some reason). The election is over, are we now finally allowed to criticise the current US government that is aiding in genocide?
We've been criticising them the whole time. There was so much criticism of her, I don't know what you're talking about.
But do you see the false equivalence in what you just said? "The same if not harder," just can't flatout say Trump is worse in every respect, as if Kamala was even comparably close to how universally terrible Trump is. That is why what you say is frustrating. Even though Kamala's thoughts on Gaza are dogshit, you're presenting a false equivalence between her and an actual rapist, racist, transphobic dictator who will do every shitty thing in the book to every single demographic that isn't rich, white people and, on top of that, he'll be much worse for Palestinians as well.
There is no such thing as a single issue election and those who are trying to insist only one thing matters are doing so because they gain something from it or they're being manipulated by someone who does.
You are disgusting because you have now enabled psychopaths to do whatever they want with your "friends".
You are disgusting because you are so dumb, you actually think you have the high moral ground here. I'm vomiting in my mouth right now, just thinking how fucking stupid you are.
Not my government dumbass. Exactly this disgusting line of thinking has brought this on your"friends". This all-or-nothing childishness. Disgusting even more because we have been here before. So stupid.
