Bernie will still tell people to vote for Clinton so in the end what does it matter?
it's called harm reduction. not better than bernie, but better than trump.
unfortunately this is the timeline we occupy. I understand all the reservations with compromised candidates - but it's democracy, not marriage, you don't get to pick the exactly perfect candidate and ignore the harm done by the obviously more hideous candidate. That's not how this works.
It's imperfect, but it's the reality we live in. Selfishly deciding not to participate because your perfect candidate / ideology wasn't met shouldn't mean you choose the ideologically VILE candidate - which is what you've gotten in Trump.
I WISH I COULD HAVE VOTED FOR BERNIE.
But the hellscape that is the middle east would not be where it is today under Harris.
Period.
Fucks sake.
Foreign policy is bipartisan. I understand the idea of harm reduction for domestic issues even if I'm skeptical considering democrats had already thrown trans people under the bus. It's possible that the democrats wouldn't have kidnapped Maduro, but they'd gleefully support the killing of over half a million people worldwide due to illegal sanctions, and they'd definitely have bomb places regardless (look at Obama). Hell, Obama and Biden increased ICE funding and created the conditions for Trump. So sure, vote for the lesser evil, but don't pretend foreigners ever mattered to them, especially those of us living here in our countries where our democratically elected politicians sometimes disagree with your ghouls in chief and then we get collective punishment for it.
As for Bernie Sanders, he's still a Zionist, he has repeatedly endorsed sending more money to Israel and he betrayed the people who voted him when he pretended he cared about Palestinians, going as far as refusing to call the genocide what it was and constantly blaming Hamas which helps manufacture consent for the complete extermination of the Palestinian people. So fuck him.
lol. during this admin transfolk have had their licenses revoked.
you're a dummy if you think dems would have been worse.
Not worse, but still bad on trans people, considering Harris campaigned on "obeying the law" and letting states discriminate trans people if they wanted to. Trump is obviously worse.
I don't recall this at all.
finding common ground is the first step.
Are you under the impression that Democrats can/will be pushed left?
it'll be a lot easier to hold them accountable than expecting ANYTHING but unending 24/7 hellscape under a conservative regime.
letting conservatives drive the bus is madness.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
It was a state move, not a federal one. Do you think the spineless dems would have stood up to states doing fascist shit? Because history shows they sure as fuck wouldn't. They would have told us to vote harder for their very progressive AIPAC funded "unlimited genocide on the Palestinians" senate candidate, who would get in and then immediately capitluate in the name of bipartisanship. I don't know how many more times you need to see this play out.
You can thank communist, anarchist and suffragette violence for that. Democrats were sending in cops, Pinkertons and the FBI to kill the people fighting for justice. But don't let facts stop you from jacking yourself silly
Free Palestine.
Lol you have no idea how power works, which i could have told you when you started caping for a loser nazi party in the hopes of being thrown scraps that were never coming.
Kamala was supporting genocide and Iran invasions as well there is no difference.
Literal walls of flame and hospital patients being incinerated in bed on video under Biden/Harris
You got you wish buddy, no evil president Harris, just a school full of dead kids in Iran, good job.
Yep this is all the fault of people who didn't support genocide like you did. But hey, you got your wish. Tens of thousands of dead kids in Palestine. Good job.
You lost to a rapist with dementia because you refused to not be publicly horny for genocide, and now you're trying to blame anyone but yourselves. I dont take advice from serial losers🤷♂️
Free Palestine
You condemned palestinian and iranian children to die because you're too much a coward to care. Good luck with trumpy buddy.
But don't act like you care about Palestine, you earned them another decade of misery. Bibi cuck.
Cowardice is when you go up against riot cops unarmed for the sake of people you'll never meet. Bravery is when you vote for mass extermination and rape camps because you're scared of bad things happening to you instead of just the faceless foreign Other, who bad things are supposed to happen to. First they came for the Palestinians, and you said "Do whatever you want to them, just dont hurt mee!". You folded under very little pressure into becoming a full on nazi, so don't squirm about it now: wear that armband. You earned it. It's for life.
You're glad you dodged the Kamala bullet?
At least Trump is doing everything incompetently.
tell that to the school full of children he blew up.
you own that. that's on your stupidity. nice fucking work
Luckily Biden didn't flatten an entire concentration camp and all schools inside it.
You heard it here, from a BlueMAGA shit head: genocide support isn't ideologically vile, apparently!
It literally was like that under Biden, who Harris promised to emulate. For fucks sake, you BlueMAGA genocide deniers are as bad as regular Trumpers.
Ahh yes, both sides are the exact same. No reasonable human being could determine the difference between Trump and whatever Democrat is running.
You clearly can't determine the difference, given you've resorted to outright lies and genocide apologism.
Lol
