I'd like to think they're all just Russian trolls but increasingly, I think some people are just selfish or dumb.

  • I voted party for socialism and liberation and you can too!

    They’re running Claudia de la Cruz on a platform of Palestinian liberation and an end to arms shipments to israel.

    They’re eligible for enough electoral votes to win in an unprecedented landslide!

    Even if you can’t protest, door knock, phone bank, picket or boycott, you can still use your vote to tell the two major parties that you won’t accept their genocide.

    • They’re eligible for enough electoral votes to win in an unprecedented landslide!

      Being eligible is one thing, being likely to happen is something completely different.

    • De La Cruz is a place holder. Nothing more. She’s untested, has no win condition strategy that makes any sense in reality and serves only as a spoiler, and has a barely above zero chance to win.

      DO NOT FALL FOR THIS BULLSHIT.

      She did nothing the last four years to earn your attention let alone your vote. She has no strategy to make anything she promises actually work because she knows has shown to have little knowledge about how politics work.

      DON’T WASTE TOUR VOTES ON THIS NONSENSE.

      • Even if what you said were true, I’d gladly pick an untested candidate who is against genocide over a battle hardened pro genocide one any day.

        Of course, what you’re saying isn’t true.

        I will vote for the placeholder candidate when the place they’re holding is the one marked “no genocide”.

        If people voting for psl spoils the democrats chances then maybe the democrats should adopt the psl platform in order to win.

        You and I already had a conversation where we discussed psls strategy, so suggesting that there isn’t one especially in a reply to me is pretty sus.

        • Soooo…. You’re just going to accuse Harris of being pRo gEnoCiDe and let that hang there like a bright flashing siren bulb of bat-shit blatant misinformation?

          If by chance you ever think to ask yourself why people won’t take you seriously, reference the aforementioned bright flashing siren bulb of bat-shit blatant misinformation.

          And in our precious discussion, you failed to outline how she intends to follow through with her bullshit promises, and I believe as I remember, I called you out for being a bad-faith propagandist.

          Wait… was that someone else? There’s just so many of you.

          • Harris is party to genocide. She serves as vp to a president who repeated the lies of the people committing the genocide, took executive action to send weapons to them and has not made efforts to stop the violence that we have seen put forward from a president in a similar situation in the opposition party.

            Harris has said that she intends to continue to support israel in their genocide. When asked directly what she would do to stop the loss of Palestinian life she pivoted to talking about groceries within this week.

            Harris could break with the administration she serves under, so many people have left it in protest, she could signal her willingness to see to end the genocide by joining them.

            She will not because she is pro genocide. There’s no other way to put it. None of that is misinformation.

            She has the opportunity to influence it from within at a high position and takes no action, she has the capacity to use her position to speak out against it and she does not. She is running to take on the only position higher than the one she occupies and could campaign on ending it but she does not. She could promise to end it or make any commitment to use her powers as president to stop it but she does not.

            If you have the ability to stop a genocide and people ask you to do so and you refuse, you’re pro genocide. Harris is pro genocide.

            That’s not debatable. It’s the whole reason people are bending over backwards to try and paint trump as a greater evil because they can’t deny that Harris is evil because she is pro genicide.

            With that cleared up, some ways de la Cruz could accomplish just one of her bullshit promises as president is by first and foremost not sending weapons to israel by executive order. She could also condition aid to israel on a ceasefire, and she could refuse to send aid ordered by congress due to its being illegal under international law backed up by the power of the justice department.

            A president harris could also do those things, but would not because she is pro genocide.

            Our previous discussion began with you calling me a bad faith actor and ended with you saying you were disgusted with yourself.

            You don’t have to keep responding.
