I linked this higher in this thread, but I need everyone to watch Jon Stewart's post-mortem on Harris' campaign. Like y'all are blaming EVERYTHING on pro-Palestinians, while not even acknowledging the republican-lite ads and interviews the Democrats ran coinciding with a bunch of pro-corporate consultants that joined her campaign in September. Or the fact that a segment of the population doesn't like Trump, but is also racist/sexist enough to not want a black woman as president either.
Lemmy thinks they're smarter than the MAGA crowd, but fall for neoliberal corporate sponsored propaganda instead. First it was hispanic men, then it was Gen Z, now it's Palestine supporters. Meanwhile 57% of white people as a demographic voted for Trump, and MSNBC nor Fox News has nothing to say about that.
What is your point though, are you saying Trump and Harris are equivalent?
Of course I'm not. And if you watched Jon Stewart's segment I linked you would understand exactly why "Trump is worse so vote Harris" doesn't work as a gotcha.
And I voted for her, too, before you bring that up as well.
Nailed it on the head.
People want a straw man to light ablaze and blame everything on.
I'm getting big "do you support hamas???" foaming at the mouth energy from casualpenguin.
I'm asking you to make a point, and filling in the blank with an example which I'm glad was incorrect. So what is your point.
Uhoh, did he not write the required 10,000 word essay explaining how democrats and Republicans aren't exactly the same? Guess that means they don't get to criticize the democrats. Awww geez.
Stop being so defensive and whingy, I'm asking him to make a statement resembling a point so I can engage.
