      There’s gonna be a lot of these for the next month because of the American election and support of Israel’s ongoing genocide is going to be a big issue.

        And if Dems take power they’ll drop their new found anti-genocide rhetoric like it’s a 2,000 lbs bomb.

          Well, you’re wrong…

          And a month before an important midterm election, it’s pretty suspect that you’re just repeating Putin’s decade old propaganda.

          Especially since you’re account is filled with equating every other option as just as bad as Putin/trump and that no one should do anything to oppose them.

          No one’s gonna fall for that shit in 2026, so the few people repeating it are hard to take seriously

            The 2023 and 2024 bullshit is starting again. I just hope more people are inoculated to it then were back then. Because this shit isn’t going to stop before 2028 if ever.

            Harris was a horrible candidate and lost because of that. If only she was the worst we had to deal with. Lotta people still regretting being manipulated into voting for trump or abstaining in areas their votes might have mattered.

            WTF does this have to do with Putin? Where the fuck did that come from? I mean like… Wow. 😂

            My guy, the massive majority of deaths in this genocide happened under a Dem administration, with almost unanimous bipartisan support. Rashida TlaibNd Ilhan Omar were literally the only Dems that opposed the genocide from the start. I repeatedly watched Biden spread blood libel lies from his campaign podium, against the very people he was enacting genocide against, saying he saw Hamas behead babies with his “own eyes”.

            I absolutely think you should be opposing genocide, and that sure as fuck ain’t “voting harder”. Chump.

                  I mean, it seem to mostly be recent bans for spreading Russian propaganda…

                    Another meaningless pejorative for uncomfortable realities.

                    “Propaganda” never implied mistruth until American reactionaries literally changed the definition during the Cold War, implying themselves as the sole purveyors of truth, anything else being propaganda, without ever having to contend with fact.

                    American Exceptionalism is the dumbest fallacy imaginable.

                Ah, so Putin made me oppose genocide. Got it. 👍

                Did Putin make you support genocide?

                Fuckin’ Putin. Errrrggg… Make up your mind.

          The DNC holds the ONLY anti-genocide and pro-Palestine politicians of any significance whatsoever.

          They’re also the least hostile to the anti-genocide and pro-Palestine crowd by a COLOSSAL margin.

          Why don’t you take your 2016 delusions and shove them up your ass?

            How is that when they oversaw the massive lion’s share of deaths, all while giving unflinching support and weapons? FFS, Biden repeatedly told debunked blood libel lies against the very people he was enacting genocide against, all from his campaign podium, saying he saw beheaded babies with his “own eyes”.

            Make it make sense to me. Are we even on the same planet?

            Yeah, the genocide is still unfolding, and it’s been going on for 78 years.

            Also, the DNC is only the leadership that gatekeeps actual progressives who would oppose genocide, the MOST genocidal ghouls of all the Democrats.

            Why would I do that? Are you an accelerationist?

            If there is an anti genocide candidate on my ballot then I’ll vote for them.

            You want to know where my line is? It’s genocide. I will not vote for a genocidal candidate.

            My house rep is Emily Randall. I will not vote. Everyone on my ballot is genocidal, in the bluest of blue districts.

            Take comfort in the fact that my vote never mattered anyways, like 90% of Americans in decided districts and states.

            If it was up for a straight referendum vote then the genocide would end tomorrow, like so many other injustices, but instead we have unanimous consensus from our supposed representatives that’s diametrically opposed to the people’s actual popular democratic mandates.

            Make that make sense.

            This is not a democracy.
