Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

What a stupid, stupid reason to have to live through another Trump presidency and continue the war unchanged.

FTFY

What a stupid, stupid reason to have to live through another Trump presidency and continue the war, with even more support than ever.

FTFY

Evangelicals like the genocide, brings their death cult closer to its end.

Except it really doesn't since that world already ended in the mid 1800s, much like the Green Sahara period ending, and The Bronze Age Collapse ended the world 6000 years ago causing them to write that apocalyptic fictive.

How many horse drawn carriages do you see on a daily basis? How many oxen plow your fields? That was the norm until the mid to late 1800s. That world already ended. They just refuse to accept their own books.

No. It will be so much worse.

Nah, your boy trump promises to end the war in mere hours (with industrial genocide).

So let's not vote for kkkamala harriss because we care so much about Palestinians.

The genocide in Gaza is bipartisan, and the ongoing atrocities are taking place under a democrat administration.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If it's bipartisan then you are free to vote based on other issues.

"we can ignore genocide as long as it's bipartisan"

Go fight with Hamas if you're so emboldened to direct action.

You won't, of course.

Your "totally rational and justified" calls for voting differently surely will fix the situation on the other side of the planet. You're totally saving the Palestinians!

the situation on the other side of the planet

Not so far down the planet when it's your government funding the genocide, giving the perpetrators their political legitimacy in the international sphere, and literally shipping the weapons with which the genocide is carried out.

go fight with hamas

Go make a counter-reactionary terrorist insurgency or political group in the US if you're so concerned about the other types of rights you'll lose if Trump gets into office

Good one, troll.

Harris has promised to enforce the laws of the US. If she does do, then The Hayes Act would prohibit any arms shipments to Israel. I'm not saying that is definitely what she intends to do, I am saying that is the most diplomatic she can be in the current political climate of the US, and still win, with the intention of deescalation in Israel while still supporting Ukraine.

The party is literally in the government right now. Biden is a rotting corpse who is obviously not making the decisions for US international policy, so the arm deals with Israel are with the full consent and approval of all the democrat elites. Harris won't change this as it hasn't changed for the past 80 years.

Biden is a rotting corpse, but he's also a self admitted Zionist. Harris isn't.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Harris openly said in the DNC convention that she believes in "Israel's right to defend itself", while not letting any pro-palestinian talk in the convention (cops had a representative though). It's painfully obvious.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Oh no, the person running for POTUS didn't want protesters at her rally? Why could this be? She must love killing Palestinians because I can't fathom the image of protesters at a convention would sully her image and hurt her chances at winning.

Seriously, are you this fucking dense?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 month ago

Ok, so if it hurts the party's image being pro-genocide, they can solve it very easily right now while they're in government

Netanyahu is a Democrat?
