Because we just had a Biden term and a year of escalation happening, with no actual steps to stop it. Only PR moves like the pier, that was only there for the IDF, not for the aid. Then we had the campaign, with messaging being “we don’t care about Palestine” and nothing else.

Like, holy shit, you could just as well say “how would you know Trump is going to be bad for Palestine?” and it would be exactly as nonsensical - because we have the pattern of behavior from earlier and the campaigning. Harris embraced Biden’s politics instead of distancing herself from them, it’s that simple.

Right now Biden is unburdened by a presidential campaign. He could do whatever he wants, or at least try to. He is trying to send as much weapons to Ukraine as possible (which is great don’t get me wrong). He is acting. Yet jack shit is done with Palestine because there is no political will to do anything.

And all of this because of people who tried to push “go vote for her anyway”. As if we are in some bizzarro world where a party gets people’s votes for not doing what the people want them to do.

The 20% you speak of is pure cope, nothing more. The messaging was consistent and it was a huge “fuck you”.

Well, they aren’t bomb experts so why would they make a judgement call on that? The rules are there for a reason - maybe someone made a bomb that a fish could swim in.

It’s there under “power hammer”

People are playing the algorithm on other sites, they’ll keep doing it till it stops working.

Lemmy is no more elite or exclusive than Reddit.

It’s not really “their coast”. Also I am against all forms of terrorism or warfare.

And yes, even the Israeli vessels that are heading for Israel.

No they aren’t, go away.

They aren’t just targetting military targets. Also it literally says in the synopsis that they are extorting civillian vessels. They aren’t freedom fighters, they are terrorists with an excuse.

Your blood would literally boil the second you are exposed to the vacuum of space. You are dead long before you reach it. Maybe if they fire you off in a torpedo. But then some mutineer could fuck with the targetting systems and keep you alive.

Okay, show me how the two candidates are worse or better in the long term.

Candidate A is letting genocide happen, sends weapons, doesn’t listen to the voters. Result is many dead people, many starving people and in 5 years - no Palestine.

Candidate B is letting genocide happen and encouraging it in speeches. Sends weapons. Result is many dead people, many starving people and in 4 years - no Palestine.

It’s the same shit. Result is - no Palestine. No Palestinians. No matter if democrats win or republicans do. So yeah, they are exactly the same.

The only arguments democrats have is either copium (that Harris would somehow stop it) which is proven to be false by the fact that they lost the election and don’t have to worry about looking bad and they still send shit to Israel and support the genocide with weapons. Or that you should vote for them despite your views and despite them not earning your vote - to which I can tell you to vote Trump because he too didn’t do what you want him to do, so you should be fine with that.

If everything isn’t black and white, why isn’t Biden / Harris stopping the genocide right now? To punish these bad voters that didn’t vote for them?

Again, you try to be sarcastic, you try to be funny, and yet again you prove - you don’t give two shits about Palestine. You say “solidarity was needed” when your policies were the ones that were being supported, and mine weren’t. It is easy to say that when you get what you want you know.

I don’t get this either. Like, they tell people to vote Harris, despite her having a shitty pro-genocide policy. Instead, she could’ve said “enough”, stopped the genocide, and I could be telling people to suck it up and vote for her despite her being against genocide. Which world would be a better place? Of course the one where Palestinians get to live.

But apparently that’s something that’s unthinkable

Honestly I have no idea. It’s comic book cartoonish evil, plain to see. And yet, seems like it’s impossible for them to get it through their heads - votes for democrats were votes for murders to continue. Status quo isn’t great when it is “let’s kill all Palestinians” already. It’s not “perfection”. A candidate supporting it is “deplorable”, not “imperfect”.

Yes, I know it’s been decades. We are talking about this election and what’s been happening “right now”. And why democrats lost it now.

The difference is very simple. A lot of people don’t give a shit about Palestine, but act as if they do. They clutch their pearls when you point it out. They say things like you do, where “stop the genocide” is somehow “unobtainable perfection”. Like oopsie, guess we will never change it, it’s completely impossible to not be funding genocide!

Fuck that and fuck everyone who thinks that. You aren’t the good guys for voting Harris, and for voting for the genocide. You aren’t the good guys for voting for Trump and for voting for the genocide.

I’m still here. Harris fucked up on Palestine. Biden fucked up on Palestine. It just doesn’t need to be repeated on and on and on again - there is no new information, only people who think “vote for a candidate that supports genocide” is the correct thing to do. And that “Trump worse” is somehow a gotcha, when there isn’t any difference - the genocide has been happening and has been killing Palestinians for a year when democrats were in charge.

And then some fucker is too lazy to do dishes and advances medicine by a century

There was a dude who posted like 3 pics of his totally wrecked car on Facebook.

He then got the “memories” reel with a catchy melody and the same 3 pictures of the fucked up car rotating in and out.

I know a couple with the same name (one masculine one feminine version). Their names can both be shortened to “little bear”. I will never stop calling them collectively “Haribo”

That’d imply that my take is equally unhinged when it’s the default thing that happens when an animal bites someone and might have been carrying rabies.
