lol. I commented on a post saying that Harris would likely be handling the situation better right now, and I got told by one of the pro-Palestine crazies that they hope my family gets murdered…
Harris would have said not to do it while continuing to supply them with weapons.
Harris would have said she's doing everything she can to stop this whole breaking federal laws to keep it happening.
Whatever they call themselves they are not pro-Palestine. I don't buy it. Maybe they're anti-Israel, but they ain't pro-Palestine.
I had conversations with many an accelerationist who supported Trump over Harris on Gaza. Pretty sure they were just full of shit and spreading misinformation.
uh huh, sure you did.
When people were actively arguing that Dems would be worse than Trump on Gaza they were either stupid or accelerationists. Especially considering these are self proclaimed "leftists" who apparently think Trump will usher in a tankie uprising. Not them of course, social media is full on revolutionary activism so they won't be doing anything.
So tell me, did genocide and the destruction of 92% of the housing in Gaza happen on Bidens watch or not?
< and heres the part where I predict that you will downvote and run away, or reply angrily without answering this question>
The fact that you couldn't see that Trump would be inarguably worse and/or didn't care is why Palestine is going to wiped off the map and be but a footnote in history.
Theres that predicted avoidance to engage with the facts.
So this stuff we argue about evidently has nothing to do with the fact that Biden could have stopped the zionist gencoide of civilians but instead he chose to fund it and enocurage it. And Harris (with zionist funding, a zionist husband, zionist campaign advisors) promised to continue the genocide with no changes, same as trump. Pressuring Biden/Harris to change during the election was never on your radar was it. You hoped Harris would win and would.. not do what he said she'd do? and just throw that sweet sweet massive AIPAC funding funnel? Because you believe politicians care what the people think after the election happens?
Seems like wishful thinking to me. Seems like the only time we have leverage as voters is during the election. And even then its up to our candidate to listen to the data and act on it.
The way I see it, Biden started a genocide, Trump and Harris both have pledged to continue it. Biden could have stopped it at any time. So could Harris during her campaign. And we had a time-bounded opportunity to pressure Biden/Harris to change but you lot were too scared to take it. I applied what pressure I could so evidently this entire genocide is my fault, does that sum up your assertions here?
And you predictably used that 'leverage' to make things much worse. Now we have 700 people routinely killed in one day under Trump, with total apathy from preople who used to cry 'genocide'. Everybody with common sense knew that Gazans would be way worse off with Trump in the WH. Both the big increase in killings under Trump and the increase in apathy about the killings under Trump were things that we already knew were going to happen under Trump back when irresponsible people were crying "genocide" during the election. There was never any chance that you were going to improve things by doing that and the entirely predictable result in increases in both killings and apathy.
You didn't predict anything. But it's clear only one of us is angry. Enjoy the rest of your day.
I will! Let me hold the door for you, buh bye.
I have to believe the pro-Palestine crazies who call Harris voters Nazis are either Russian trolls or still too ashamed to admit they were conned into voting for Palestine's complete destruction.
Gaza was already destroyed on your boy Biden's watch.
Interesting. Weird that Israel is threatening its full destruction now instead of celebrating the fact it happened at least 3 months ago. Those genociders do be crazy.
Whats interesting is you pretending it hasnt happened when its been so widely reported.
And you would understand why if you had any kind of human decency.
People are mourning their dead and you come with your petty domestic political argument? How tone deaf can you be?
Yeah I didn’t get the whole “murder your family” part
You’re really doing your part yelling at a bunch of internet strangers with no control over the situation. Congrats!
If it’s so easy to fix, what are you doing to make things better?
You do have control over the situation. You just had elections
And I voted for Harris, who at least would’ve let protesters be and not arrest them. Could’ve had a chance with her once she got away from Biden. Biden admin initiated the ceasefire that everyone is clamoring about anyways.
But the other idiots here voted for Trump. Give him a year or so and it’ll be worse than it ever was under Biden. He’ll build a golf course over in Gaza as a cherry on top for you.
And before your dumbass says it, I never voted for Biden. Voted for Bernie in 2016 and 2020 and he def would’ve been the guy to settle things down.
Moron.
Then do something, idiot. It's not my county doing all this shit, it's yours
Ah yes let me single-handedly take down the fascist regime that has taken over our govt.
Dumbass
Edit: it’s hilarious it seems you made this account solely to yell at people you think support genocide. Why don’t you get a plane ticket and come over and do something about it if you’re so inclined? You’re a useless keyboard warrior
You said singlehandedly, not me. Join a militia or something
Yup. The Socialist Rifle Association. We’ll be ready
Ready when? You're like 20 years late
I don't take planes. I'm not a scumbag polluters.
LMAO what a bunch of idiot. Hollywood burned and they still take planes.
We should nuke the US
Then drive or walk, I don’t give a shit.
Go pound sand you incorrigible dumbass.
And what a fucking hypocrite too. You’re all like let’s start another genocide! Lmfao
Exactly. These people don't give a shit about human lives and it honestly makes me sick to see them use this shit to further their bullshit.
American are intently genocidal (proof above and below) and thus it's the moral thing to do. It's just basic math really
You genocider piece of shit, die! Lmao
Look I know where I went wrong. Next time my genocide will be endorsed by the Democrats so you can all cheers at it because the other side is worst
Read a fucking book, Jesus...
Lol so ideologically pure. We're all super impressed and jealous.
Individual people are not their government.
Yup we certainly did and uncommitted happened along with a ton of others things.
Just as much as you blaming Americans for dead Arabs and ignoring all of the complexities, nuances, and the actors that led to this war crime.
On a Lemmy politics forum? The fuck are you talking about?
